The Governor’s Cup series between Louisville and Kentucky now sits even at 15 wins apiece all-time, as the football demolished the arch-rival Wildcats 44-17 at Kroger Field, avenging last season’s 41-38 loss at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium.

“It’s really satisfying,” coach Bobby Petrino said. “It’s pretty special.”

Senior Reggie Bonnafon totaled 90 yards and two touchdowns.

“It was weird this whole season, walking past the trophy cases and not seeing the Governor’s Cup,” Bonnafon said.

Louisville led from start to finish and out-gained Kentucky by 224. The Cardinals scored on every drive but their final to run out the clock.
