No. 15 Kentucky soils football senior night with 52-10 blowout

By Weston Payne —

The Governor’s Cup returned to Lexington after No. 15 Kentucky (9-3) pummeled football (2-8) at Cardinal Stadium. The Wildcats won easily 52-10 over an undisciplined Cardinal team.

UK’s 46-point victory is the largest of the modern era since they topped U of L by 73 points in 1922. Louisville becomes the first-ever Power 5 conference school to surrender at least 50 points in five consecutive games.

“It’s been a tough year, you never want to go out losing eight [games],” interim coach Lorenzo Ward said.

On top of losing to their arch rival, the blowout marks the end to one of the most disappointing seasons in years.
