Louisville football was one of five teams to finish 4-4 in ACC play and ended the regular season with a 41-0 Governor’s Cup win over Kentucky.

Despite the flawed season, the Cardinals (8-4) can finish with a third consecutive season of at least nine wins if they get a second straight bowl win.

“Everybody can judge it the way they want. This is a tough game,” UofL coach Jeff Brohm said after the regular-season finale. “You're in a tough conference. You play good competition. Every little thing matters. … I just think, man, we've been right in it. That's the most important thing. The fact that we, other than one game this year, had our chance to win every one, if we just kind of tighten a few things up. And then you go about tightening those things up the next year.”

Louisville has remained a favorite to reach the Duke’s Mayo Bowl. The Cards have played in the bowl game twice and lost each time: to N.C. State in 2011 and Georgia in 2014.

UofL is 13-13-1 all time in bowl games and 1-1 under Brohm.
