For the 5th time in 12 years, Louisville will take the field as a double digit favorite over Kentucky.

Louisville clearly wants to establish the run, but their sets seem extremely vanilla. Expected a more spread attack with their weapons.

— Will Tucker (@blrdswag) September 14, 2013
miscommunication between Copeland and Bridgewater and the QB's body language is not good.
— rickbozich (@rickbozich) September 14, 2013
So apparently the secret is to just not block one side, double the other side and just run north-south.
— Paul Peavler (@CardMeHD) September 14, 2013
Louisville reminding me of Sugar Bowl in insistence to establish run. Like that game, starting to tire UK D a bit and more effective

"@Mengus22: Btw, UK looks a million times better coached on defense than at any point in the past two seasons." Agreed. Stoops is legit.
