On a Louisville sports radio talk show Tuesday afternoon, I was asked a question I had already been thinking quite a bit about this Governor’s Cup rivalry week.
Between Mark Stoops and Bobby Petrino, which head coach most needs to win Saturday’s high noon showdown between Kentucky (7-4, 4-4 SEC) and Louisville (7-4, 4-4 ACC)?
More so than normal, both coaches need to claim victory this year in the commonwealth’s defining rivalry.
For Louisville’s Petrino, defeating UK would take some sting out of what has been a disappointing fourth season of his second stint as top Card.
