I’m going to start this piece by saying this. Louisville football owns Kentucky.
Let’s start with when Mark Stoops arrived in Lexington, 2013. Stoops came from Florida State were he was the defensive coordinator for 3 years. When he was given the Kentucky job many Blue Blood fans were hopeful he could revive a program that went 2-10 the previous year, and 5 years later and things are starting to look up for the Cats.
But not when it comes to playing in-state rival Louisville- forget about it.
Since 2013 the Cardinals have established a 4-1 record over Kentucky, winning games by an average margin of 14.
