Patrick Towles sprained his ankle during the loss at Tennessee, but was able to come back in. Today, Mark Stoops hinted that Patrick’s still not at 100%, and the staff is anxious to see how he performs in practice this afternoon. “We’ll see how he is today. Hopefully he’ll be out there full strength today,” Stoops said. “I’d just like to see him really put it all on the line this week and go play. Really be the leader he’s shown at times.”
A rough slide of SEC losses caused morale to dip considerably, but that can all change with a win over the Cards. Stoops called the opportunity to beat Louisville and become bowl eligible a “beautiful thing” and he expects his team to be ready for it. “I think we all know what we’re playing for. They know that. There’s no point in hiding from it,” Stoops said. “I think a win this weekend would mean an awful lot to these players. I think they deserve it, and that’s what I’ve said to them.”

Towles wouldn't miss this game for the world and would bet the farm he will play against Louisville tomorrow.

Good topic, but shouldn't be on the recruiting thread.
Remember when an injured Keith Bogans hobbled around in the tourney game and UK lost? It wasn't his fault and the coaches shouldn't have played him if he couldn't perform.
The same goes for the QB. If he can't perform, you have to go with the back up.

I don't think coach Stoops would be playing Towles if he thought he wasn't ready to go.
