Louisville vs. Kentucky football live updates from 2023 Governor’s Cup game at L&N Stadium
The annual Governor’s Cup rivalry game is here.
No. 9 Louisville is hosting Kentucky for the Battle of the Bluegrass. The two teams have been anchored by strong running games this season but enter the contest in very different positions.
Though the Wildcats have had U of L’s card handily in the past four meetings, they struggled in SEC play this season and have lost three of their last four after starting the season with a 5-0 record. The Cardinals, on the other hand, have flourished in coach Jeff Brohm’s first season — reaching 10 wins for only the seventh time in program history and set to make their first ACC championship game appearance. They enter the Governor’s Cup on an 11-game home win streak.
Despite the records, both teams look to build on a recent trend with the Governor’s Cup trophy on the line.
The Courier Journal will have all hands on deck with Alexis Cubit, C.L. Brown, Ryan Black, Prince James Story, Brooks Holton, Matt Stone, Jeff Faughender and Scott Utterback at L&N Stadium to provide live updates throughout the game — here and on X — and complete coverage after the game.
