What I am watching and hoping for is a Kentucky win.
ACCOUNT FOR PARKER: Louisville senior wide receiver DeVante Parker hasn’t missed a beat despite missing the first seven games with a broken left small toe, catching 29 passes for 555 yards and two TDs in four games. The Cardinals will be looking to the Louisville native often in his home finale, but Parker faces a Kentucky secondary that ranks fifth in the Southeastern Conference against the pass (200 yards per game) and has intercepted 13 passes after picking off just three in 2013.
RECHARGE AND RESIST: Kentucky used its second bye week to rest and return to fundamentals and the Wildcats’ defense certainly needed to reboot after allowing at least 40 points and 423 yards in four of their five consecutive losses. That average includes yielding combined totals of 113 points and 1,070 yards in defeats to Georgia and Tennessee.
PETRINO’S KENTUCKY MASTERY: Petrino is 5-1 all-time against Kentucky including last season’s win in Nashville as Western Kentucky’s coach. His lone loss to the Wildcats came in 2008 while with Arkansas.
HARD YARDS: Kentucky has gained 262 yards or fewer in three of its five consecutive losses and now faces Louisville’s seventh-ranked defense allowing 290.2 yards per game. The Cardinals have a nation-leading 23 interceptions and rank eighth in sacks with 36.
SENIORS’ SENDOFF: The Cardinals will bid farewell to 23 seniors who helped the program win 38 of 50 games over four years and earn two Big East titles and four consecutive bowl berths including this season. Louisville has lost three of the past four on Senior Day but is 54-40-1 all-time.
