Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:See also Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox sports rivalryШаблон:OSM Location map The Governor's Cup is a trophy awarded to the victor of the annual college football game between the University of Kentucky and the University of Louisville in the commonwealth of Kentucky; it is also used as a reference to the rivalry itself.[1]
History
Though the teams first played in 1912,[1] they only played six times until the rivalry was suspended after the 1924 season and wasn't renewed for another 70 years. The rivalry resumed in 1994 with a new Governor's Cup trophy which has been awarded every year since.
Kentucky leads the series 20–15.[1] Since the modern series started in 1994, Louisville leads 15–14. From 1994 to 2006, the game was played on the opening weekend of the college football season. In 2007, the game was moved to the third game of the season when played in Lexington but remained the first game when played in Louisville. Starting in 2014, which marked Louisville's inaugural season in the Atlantic Coast Conference, the Governor's Cup became the last game of the regular season for both teams on Thanksgiving weekend,[2] which coincided with several other ACC-SEC same-state rivalries.[3]
Because the Southeastern Conference, of which Kentucky is a member, decided to play a conference-only schedule for 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 edition of the Governor's Cup game was canceled.[4] The rivalry will continue until at least the 2030 season with Kentucky hosting in even years and Louisville hosting in odd years.[5]
Notable games
September 2, 2000: In the only overtime game in series history, Louisville outlasted Kentucky to win 40–34. A walk-off touchdown from running back Tony Stallings would seal the game for the Cardinals.[6]
November 26, 2016: Kentucky upsets #11 Louisville in a shootout. Kentucky recovered a fumble by Heisman candidate Lamar Jackson with 1:45 to go in the game. Kentucky would kick a field goal to win the game 41–38.[7] Lamar Jackson would go on to the win the Heisman Trophy.[8]
November 25, 2023: Kentucky upsets #10 Louisville. Louisville had hopes for the national championship and was a 7.5 point favorite. This game extends Kentuckys dominance to 5 in a row and 6 of the last 7 meetings. [9]
