There will be people at Saturday’s Kentucky-Louisville football game who will notice a teenager in a No. 6 jersey. They will see the son of a legend who spurned his father’s school to attend the archrival, a kid who flipped from blue to red in a rivalry filled with hatred.

Craig Yeast will see his son. The University of Kentucky’s all-time leader in receptions and receiving yards cares as much about the in-state rivalry as anyone and is “a person that bleeds blue throughout,” he said.
