Despite spotting Kentucky the first 21 points of the game, the Louisville football team managed to hand their arch-rivals from Lexington their seventh loss for a second consecutive season with a 38-24 victory Saturday afternoon at Commonwealth Stadium.
The Year of the Predicted Star of the Game went out with a bang, as Lamar Jackson replaced Kyle Bolin and promptly ran for 186 yards and threw for 130 more as the Cards topped the Cats for a fifth straight year.
Honestly, overcoming a seemingly insurmountable deficit to keep Kentucky out of the postseason was more sweet than blowing them out from the get-go.
