Kentucky wasting no time introducing new Wildcats to Governor's Cup rivalry

Kentucky has defeated Louisville by a combined 78 points over the last two meetings between the teams on the gridiron. Unfortunately, the Wildcats couldn’t kick in the Cardinals’ teeth last year. COVID-19 scheduling canceled the 2020 edition of the Governor’s Cup. Now Mark Stoops has to introduce players to the rivalry.

“They’re better in all areas than the last time we played them,” Stoops said. “A good dose of our team the past two classes haven’t played Louisville. This rivalry needs to be introduced to a few of our players that hadn’t been exposed to it.”

Stoops declined to share exactly how he will inject good ole fashioned hate into the locker room.
