Kentucky's Domination of Scott Satterfield, By the Numbers

The last time we saw Scott Satterfield at Kroger Field, rain washed away tears as he cried about Ls Down at midfield. The Louisville head coach has under-performed in the rivalry since he arrived in 2019, and that’s putting it lightly. Let’s dive into the numbers to see just how bad Scott’s Tots have played in two games against Kentucky in the Battle for the Governor’s Cup.

97 — Points scored by Kentucky in two games, an average of 48.5 per contest.

3 — Kentucky punts, only one in the first half against the Cardinals.

3 — Louisville turnovers, compared to zero from the Wildcats.

7 — Straight quarters where Kentucky has scored at least twice.

8 — Combined rushing touchdowns by Kentucky’s two quarterbacks. Will Levis and Lynn Bowden each had four scores and averaged better than 8 yards per carry.

9.84 — Yards per carry by Chris Rodriguez. He has 246 yards on only 25 carries. If he continues to run at the same rate, he can break Benny Snell’s all-time rushing record on 36 carries Saturday.

9.38 — Kentucky yards per play against Louisville. Yes, that’s just shy of one first down per play. The Cats have exceeded 500 yards in each game, an average of 516 per contest.

26.8 — Percent of the time UofL is converting on third and fourth down. Only two teams have a worse third down converting percentage in college football this year. The national average is around 39%.

58 — Percent completion percentage by Malik Cunningham, who has completed 18 passes for 223 yards in his last two games against Kentucky.

111 minutes and 24 seconds — Of game time since Louisville had a lead over Kentucky. The Cards went up 6-0 in the first quarter of the 2019 game, a lead erased by an AJ Rose touchdown on the Wildcats’ first offensive possession.
