“In a rivalry game you can throw the records out the window. We’re worried about ourselves and playing the best football we can,” Stoops said at Monday’s press conference. “It’s about us and the way we play. We know what they’re capable of and how Louisville can play. They’ve shown signs of that this year.”
I don’t know how many signs of good football UofL could have possibly shown this season, but Stoops is wise to take this approach. Crazy things have happened in the Governor’s Cup. Each side has had its fair share of upsets and scuffles.
