It’s official: The Louisville football team will be wrapping up its 2022 season on Dec. 17 when it takes on old rival Cincinnati in the Fenway Bowl. Kickoff is scheduled for 11 a.m. and ESPN will have the television coverage.
This will be the first meeting between the two rivals since Teddy Bridgewater led U of L to a dramatic 31-24 win at Nippert Stadium in 2013. That win has kept the Keg of Nails in the Derby City ever since.
Cincinnati leads the all-time series with Louisville, 30-22-1, but the Bearcats got off to a massive head start by winning the first 12 meetings between the two programs, which took place between 1929 and 1969.
