The Kentucky Wildcats and Louisville Cardinals met at Kroger Field Saturday afternoon for what was expected to be 60 minutes of competitive football for the Governor's Cup. From the opening drive until the clock hit zero, however, the Cardinals owned the Wildcats in all three phases of the game.
After leading 31-10 at halftime, Louisville cruised by Kentucky, 13-7, in the second half to win 44 - 17. Kentucky's 27-point defeat was their third worst ever to Louisville and their second worst at home.
In quarterback Stephen Johnson's last game as a Wildcat, his first half could not have been any worse.
