LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Louisville coach Steve Kragthorpe apologized for some salty language he used after the Cardinals lost to rival Kentucky last weekend, but he didn't apologize for his team's performance.
The Cardinals fell to the Wildcats 31-27 despite rallying in the fourth quarter to take the lead. Kentucky won after a late fumble by Louisville punt returner Trent Guy gave the Wildcats the ball deep in Louisville territory.
Kragthorpe defended Guy after the game. The normally reserved coach said he'd take notice of any member of the media that criticized the senior, who also had a 66-yard touchdown reception against the Wildcats, and used some choice words while doing it.
Kragthorpe said he didn't mean to offend anyone, saying it was simply the heat of the moment. The Cardinals (1-1) travel to Utah (2-1) on Saturday.

Looks like another lose for Utah.
We'll read all week about how tough the Louisville football team is and how it will be a battle for Utah, but "THE TRUTH" is that Louisville stinks and if Utah doesn't win by 21 I'll be surprised. Remember that on Saturday.
THE TRUTH
Yes, you will hear about how Louisville is a better team than Utah and the reason will be because--wait for it--they are. When Louisville loses it's because they play actual teams that are demonstrated contenders. When Utah loses it's to teams that More..
