Founded in 1912 in Louisville, Kentucky, the Cardinals have grown into a national player.

Icons fuel the lore: 2016 Heisman winner Lamar Jackson’s jaw-dropping Saturdays, Teddy Bridgewater’s Sugar Bowl masterpiece and coaching pillars like Howard Schnellenberger. Each season peaks with the Governor’s Cup clash against Kentucky, a blue and red split that grips the state.
