It’s the same Governor’s Cup, only this year with a different twist.
Kentucky football meets Louisville at 7 p.m. Saturday at Cardinal Stadium in Louisville. For Kentucky, it’s the regular-season finale. For Louisville, it’s the final game of the season. That tells you a large part of the plot right there.
Kentucky’s record 8-3. The Wildcats are 15th in the College Football Playoff rankings; 17th in the AP Top 25. Their 5-3 SEC mark was the school’s first winning conference season since 1977. Sometime after Saturday, Mark Stoops’ team is headed to a bowl game. A prestigious bowl game, possibly.
