Kentucky’s win over Louisville feels just as good today as it did yesterday! And it’ll keep feeling good for 365 days! The Cats pulled off an incredible upset of the Louisville Cardinals, thanks to Stephen Johnson’s gun slinging, the defense’s ability to force turnovers, and Austin MacGinnis, who’s got ice in his veins.
The win gives the Cats the Governor’s Cup and bragging rights for an entire year, and it also improves their record to 7-5, which will help their bowl standing.
Now we wait to find out which bowl the Cats will take part in.
