The Wildcats gained more momentum less than a minute later when senior safety A.J. Stamps intercepted Bolin at the Cardinals’ 48 and ran it 35 yards to the U of L 13.

Beating Louisville would curb the absolute domination of Bobby Petrino over Kentucky.
Kentucky’s offense was inept the second half.
Louisville put the Wildcats out of their misery with 4:02 left in the game when Jackson scored from 13-yards out, following a short, low Landon Foster-punt and 33-yard return by Jaire Alexander to the Kentucky 13-yard-line. Kentucky tacked on a field goal in the closing seconds of the first half to take a 24-7 lead into halftime.
Freshman quarterback Lamar Jackson came off the bench to guide the University of Louisville football team to 31 unanswered points and a huge 38-24 comeback win over the University of Kentucky on Saturday afternoon at Commonwealth Stadium. Louisville Cardinals rank at 71 for 152.0 road rushing yards where as Kentucky Wildcats rank at 93 for allowing 176.5 rushing yards at home. The over/under for this game is 54 total points.
96 Rushing yards are needed by RB Stanley “Boom” Williams to become the third player with 1,400 rushing yards in his first two seasons at Kentucky.
Louisville wide receiver James Quick falls to the ground and drops a pass in the end zone after colliding with Kentucky defensive back Derrick Baity during the second half of an NCAA college football game Saturday, Nov. 28, 2015, in Lexington, Ky. In the meanwhile, Kentucky’s meager offensive attack totaled just 81 yards and zero points in the final half.
Kentucky was led mostly by the defense. Barker finished the game 6-for-22 for 128 yards and was replaced by Patrick Towles in garbage time.
Kentucky has a 5-6 record for the season and had been stuck in a five game losing streak after a strong start to the year. Kentucky quarterback Drew Barker completed one of 14 passes for negative-one yard in the second half.
His counterpart, Jackson proved that Kentucky continues to be unable to contain mobile quarterbacks.
Stoops said it was technique. Throughout the year, Kentucky has been humbled by elusive quarterbacks.
110 Pounds is the weight of the Governor’s Cup, which has been presented to the victor of the Kentucky-Louisville game annually since 1994.
With Louisville now evening the all-time series at 14-all, the Cardinals can rejoice in becoming a perpetual thorn in the Cats’ side.
Kentucky finishes a massively disappointing 5-7, apparently blowing a golden chance for their first bowl berth since 2010.

With that, Kentucky trudges off the turf, through the tunnel and into a long, soul searching offseason with the scoreboard burning the numbers 38-24 deep into the player’s memories. With the season concluded, the notion of progress sounds appealing, but two consecutive 5-7 seasons along with two consecutive season-ending slumps begs to differ.
