We have reached the end of another underwhelming Kentucky football season, but unlike the disaster of 2024, there is at least a glimmer of hope.
Sitting at five wins, the Wildcats still control their own destiny. The math is simple: Win in Louisville, and you secure December practices, a postseason paycheck, and the chance at finishing above .500 if you win your bowl game. Lose, and you head back up I-64 empty-handed, answering questions about why you couldn't beat a rival missing half its offensive roster.
Make no mistake: This is a game Kentucky should win.
There is no scenario where a healthier, more motivated Wildcat roster should leave the Governor’s Cup behind.
