‘Tis the season for Governor’s Cup skirmishes and fisticuffs, and today’s 35th running of the Kentucky-Louisville rivalry had plenty of both before and after kickoff. Currently, the game is at halftime as the two bitter enemies part ways to cool off and regroup before 30 more minutes of hitting and hating each other.
Louisville leads, 10-7.
Louisville Struck First
Big Blue Nation saw a familiar opening script: Kentucky got stuffed on the opening drive, punted short, and then gave up a touchdown to go down 7-0 early. The Wildcats’ first possession lasted five plays before a 31-yard punt gave Louisville the ball for the first time.
