The Louisville football program continues to run the Commonwealth.
They might have entered the Governor's Cup hamtrung by injuries and riding a three-game losing streak, but that mattered little, as they curb-stomped arch rival Kentucky for a 41-0 blowout win. It marked their first home win in the series since 2014, and the largest ever margin of victory in the all-time series.
With a performance such as this, how did Louisville's players grade out over on the analytical site Pro Football Focus? Below are the team-wide grades, as well as all the individual offensive and defensive grades, from their matchup against Kentucky:
As a reminder, in PFF's grading scale, 60.0 is the baseline for an "average" grade. 70.0-79.9 is considered above average, 80.0-89.9 is good, whereas 90.0 and higher is elite. On the opposite end of the spectrum, 59.9-50.0 is below average, 49.9-40.0 is considered poor, whereas 39.9 and below is very poor.
