New faces for Louisville run Kentucky into the ground in 41-0 blowout

The Louisville Cardinals secured a dominant 41-0 victory over the Kentucky Wildcats, overcoming significant injuries to key players. Freshmen Braxton Jennings and Shaun Boykins Jr. both rushed for over 100 yards, leading a ground attack that totaled 258 yards, despite the absence of Louisville's top three running backs and leading wide receiver. Quarterback Miller Moss contributed with 182 passing yards and four touchdowns, three of which were passing, helping Louisville snap a three-game losing streak and improve to 8-4.

Louisville's defense was formidable, limiting Kentucky to 147 total yards and forcing two turnovers. Special teams also made an impact with a blocked punt setting up the opening score. Kentucky's Cutter Boley struggled, completing 14 of 27 passes for 107 yards with two interceptions, as the Wildcats concluded their season at 5-7, missing bowl eligibility.

The victory marked Louisville's largest win in the series since it resumed in 1994 and the first shutout of Kentucky
