A major upgrade is coming to L&N Stadium thanks to a $2 million gift from longtime University of Louisville supporters Isac and Carrie Roths.
When Kentucky and Louisville limp into Saturday’s annual rivalry finale in L&N Stadium, the story isn’t just bragging rights, it’s bandwidth. Both teams have depleted rosters. This game is about who has the most left, on the roster and in the tank.
The old rivals stumble in like a pair of bar brawlers who forgot what they were fighting about.
The loudest cheer of the first half at L&N Stadium during Friday night's football game against Clemson didn’t come during a play. It came during a timeout.
This Friday night game against Clemson isn’t about math. It’s about meaning.
The No. 20-ranked Cardinals host Clemson under the Friday night lights of L&N Stadium — in blackout uniforms, with a blackout crowd.
The Louisville late-game rally never came. Despite numerous chances, the Cardinals could not beat a team that practically begged them to. And in overtime, a gutsy fourth-down call by Cal paid off for a 29-26 Golden Bears win.
It's one thing to fight your way back on the road. Now, Louisville faces the challenge of a ranked opponent coming into its house.
For two and a half quarters Friday night, Louisville football was trapped in its own bad dream.
It's been a while.
