Kentucky and Louisville’s trajectories over the past six games have been somewhat different. The Cardinals’ defense has been dominant which has led to winning five out of their last six games and a Top 25 ranking. Their winning ways have likely helped to solidify Scott Satterfield’s job going forward and momentum is certainly in Louisville’s favor.
Kentucky’s record over that same time frame is 2-4. The Wildcats have limped into the Governor’s Cup and have been on a downward spiral that’s deflated hopes for what many projected to be a magical season. Some of that energy can be salvaged by beating Louisville.
