No. 15 Kentucky will face a short-handed Louisville team in Saturday’s rivalry game.
The Cardinals announced a few hours before kickoff that four players have been suspended for violating team rules. Tight end Jordan Davis and running backs Javian Hawkins, Malik Staples and Dae Williams will all be sidelined against the Wildcats.

The four players had a small role in Louisville’s season, but their absence will damage the depth of an already struggling Cardinals team. Williams has 22 rushes for 71 yards and a score, Davis has two catches for 23 yards, Hawkins has 12 yards on three total touches and Staples has no offensive stats.
Kentucky (8-3) travels to face Louisville (2-9) at 7 p.m. ET on Saturday.
