We have the ability to win but it isn't going to be easy and you can bet the Cardinals are not taking this game lightly.
Louisville coach Bobby Petrino is not worried about his team coming off a win at Notre Dame looking past Kentucky Saturday.
“I think they understand there’s opportunity out there to go to a really good bowl game, but the first thing we have to do is focus hard, play well and win a game,” said Petrino.
The Louisville coach beat UK 35-26 last year when he was the head coach at Western in what was UK coach Mark Stoops’ debut with the Wildcats.
“They’re way different on their defensive scheme. They’ve changed completely. I think they did it last year prior to the Louisville game, where they went to a three-down front as opposed to a four-down front,” Petrino said. “There are a lot of guys who played in that game who are still playing for them now.
“I think they’re way different offensively. At that point, they were just learning and understanding what that offense was all about, and now they’ve got a quarterback (Patrick Towles) who knows how to make the throws, execute the offense and is a great competitor. When you watch them play, you’re impressed by how hard he competes.”
Towles did not play against Western last year, but has started every game for UK this season.
“He can really throw the football. He’s got a strong arm, he gets it out quick. You’re impressed when you see him throw it from the left hash to the sideline on the right,” Petrino said. “But I think the biggest thing that impresses me about the young man is how hard he competes. When they’re behind, he’s still playing hard, competing, brings them back to win the South Carolina game.
“So we know we’re going to face a good quarterback. So we’ve got to do a good job defensively understanding what they like to do by their sets, formations and personnel.”
Petrino thinks no matter when the UK-Louisville game is played — this is the first time it has been at the end of the regular season — that it is fun for the players and will create a special atmosphere in Louisville Saturday for the noon kickoff.

I dare say we'd end up in the Music City if we win.
