The Big Blue Nation received quite the palate cleanser on rivalry weekend. Kentucky hit the road and knocked off No. 9 Louisville in front of a record crowd at L&N Federal Credit Union Stadium. Explosive plays and takeaways allowed the Wildcats to run away from the Cardinals thanks to a 31-14 blitz in the last 20-plus minutes of the game.
Louisville fans are now licking their wounds and might get knocked out of the Orange Bowl with a bad performance on Saturday night against Florida State in the ACC Championship Game. After a brutal 1-5 stretch to end SEC play, Kentucky enters bowl season at 7-5 (3-5).
