LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) Kentucky's postseason quest remains alive after a performance reminiscent of its 4-1 start that made a bowl bid seem inevitable.
The Wildcats need one more win to become bowl eligible, and it once again comes down to beating rival Louisville, which is just trying to improve its bowl position in the Governor's Cup showdown on Saturday.
This time around, the Wildcats (5-6) will host the Cardinals (6-5) in the annual battle for Bluegrass football supremacy. Having home field is no small matter for Kentucky, which scheduled eight games at renovated Commonwealth Stadium to boost its chances of reaching the six-win threshold for bowl eligibility for the first time since 2010.
