College Football 2021: Top 3 under-the-radar games to watch in Week 13

1. Kentucky at Louisville

The football rivalry between Kentucky and Louisville may not be as intense as their basketball one. But there is still a lot of history and hatred between the two schools. Kentucky leads the all-time series and has won three of the last four matchups. The schools did not meet last season due to COVID-19.

Kentucky is looking to secure their second nine-win regular season under coach Mark Stoops. Lately, the Wildcat offense has been posting a ton of yards. They may have lost to Tennessee but still racked over 600 yards against the Vols. Against Vanderbilt they had over 400 yards and last week against New Mexico State, it was an insane 707 yards of total offense. The Aggies are one of the worst teams in college football, but accumulating 700 yards against anyone is impressive.

The Wildcats are fairly balanced. Quarterback Will Levis and running back Christ Rodriguez Jr. both are enjoying solid seasons and the Wildcats have racked up wins as a result.

However, Kentucky has been hindered, especially in their losses, by turnovers. They have 22 on the season. Louisville needs to take advantage of this flaw. The Cardinals are actually averaging more yards and points than the Wildcats. If they capitalize off turnovers, they should be in this one.

It is great to see the crossover ACC-SEC rivalries return after a year-long break. The intensity for the Governor’s Cup should be good and both teams are looking to improve their bowl standing.
