LEXINGTON — Louisville football is set to play at Kentucky for the 30th installment of the Governor’s Cup.

Kentucky has maintained possession of the trophy since 2017. The Cardinals came close to taking it back last year and had a 24-14 lead over the Wildcats late in the third quarter. But UK outscored U of L, 17-7, in the fourth quarter to keep its winning streak alive.

The regular-season finale will be the last game of the year for the Wildcats, who aren’t bowl eligible for the first time since 2015. After deploying three quarterbacks throughout the season, freshman Cutter Boley will get his first start in UK’s final contest of the year.

Louisville, which will appear in a fourth straight bowl game next month, comes into the contest after winning three of its last four games. The Cardinals rallied for a win at Boston College, 31-27, and rebounded from a 38-35 loss at Stanford by beating Pitt, 37-9, in Week 13.

Alexis Cubit, Louisville football writer: Louisville 38, Kentucky 17. Despite a hiccup at Stanford, the Cardinals have adjusted and made enough improvements on both sides of the ball throughout the year to take the Governor’s Cup back for the first time since 2017.

Kentucky beat writer Ryan Black: Kentucky 27, Louisville 24. The Wildcats’ season, by an measure, has been a disappointment. But they’ve hung tough with some of the best teams the SEC (and the nation) has to offer. They won’t be overwhelmed by what the Cardinals have to offer, ending the 2024 campaign with yet another Governor’s Cup triumph.
