Deadspin | Kentucky embraces chance to close by serving 'L' to Louisville
The Kentucky Wildcats end their season Saturday but before they go, a chance to extend their dominance over archrival Louisville in the annual edition of the Governor’s Cup game in Lexington.
The Wildcats (4-7) lost 31-14 at No. 3 Texas last Saturday to ensure their first season without a bowl game since 2015, which was also their last full regular season with a losing record. They have won five straight against the Cardinals (7-4) dating back to the 2017 season.
With an eye to the future, Kentucky coach Mark Stoops plans to feature true freshman Cutter Boley in a start at quarterback for the Wildcats. The in-state recruit has played in relief in three games this season, including the last two.
Against the Longhorns last Saturday, he completed 10-of-18 passes for 160 yards and threw an interception.
“We’ve made it a conscious effort to get Cutter some (first-team) reps the past couple weeks and get him time in practice during that bye week to get him prepped and ready for it,” Stoops said. “And ever since the bye week, I think you’ve seen him go out there and execute at a higher level.”
The Cardinals (7-4) will play in a bowl game for the fourth consecutive season, but coach Jeff Brohm said in his weekly press conference Monday that it’s important to finish the season on a strong note. Last year, Louisville led by 10 points late in the third quarter but fell 38-31 after Ray Davis ran for a 37-yard touchdown with 1:02 left in the game.
“If you don’t win it, man, it puts a sour taste in your mouth, and we had that feeling last year,” Brohm said. “It’s a bad taste. It stays there for a long time.”
Brohm’s team ranks 15th nationally in total offense, averaging 453 yards per game and will face a Kentucky squad yielding just 332.7, 37th among FBS teams. Ja’Corey Brooks leads the Atlantic Coast Conference with 1,013 receiving yards on 61 catches and nine touchdowns for Louisville. Isaac Brown has 896 rushing yards and nine scores. His 7.4 yards per carry leads the ACC and is third nationally. He needs just 65 yards to break Lamar Jackson’s team record for rushing yards as a freshman.

Photo of former Kentucky coach goes viral as Illinois beat Arkansas
Former head coach of the Kentucky Wildcats, John Calipari, took his current team, the Arkansas Razorbacks, to the Thanksgiving Hoops Showcase in Kansas City, Missouri. The Razorbacks faced off against the Illinois Illini and lost 90-77. Kentucky fans have been mildly curious (maybe more than that for some) about their former coach and like to tune in to the games. We’ve already asked if Big Blue Nation is a little too obsessed with Calipari. However, that’s not even what this article is about, it wasn’t a photo of Calipari that went viral among BBN, it was former associate head coach Orlando Antigua.
Antigua left Kentucky a couple of seasons ago to work under Brad Underwood at Illinois. His bio on the Illini website says this about him, “Widely regarded as the nation’s preeminent recruiter and one of the top frontcourt player development mentors in the country.” In the Thanksgiving Hoops Showcase, Antigua was coaching against his former boss (Calipari), and as the first half was coming to a close Illinois was up 15 points, his daughter caught this picture:
The caption ” Busted ” speaks volumes: She caught him with a big ol’ grin on his face as he enjoyed the lead and eventually the win. What’s he busted for? It may just simply mean that he was smiling at his daughter when she caught a picture of him, or that he was enjoying beating his former boss, who is now at Arkansas. It’s the latter that BBN ran with.
Big Blue Nation is enjoying it almost as much as Coach O, Kentuck fans spending a lot of the offseason listening to Arkansas fans talk trash. And, of course, deep down in the BBN heart, there’s a bit that is starting to believe that Kentucky got the better end of the stick with Mark Pope.
Was the picture of Coach O relishing in the win over his former boss? Or was it that he was smiling at his daughter sitting behind the bench? Or a little bit of both? His daughter, Olivia, seems to confirm that it’s maybe the first.
