Louisville rallies past Kentucky 38-24 to win Governor's Cup

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) Lamar Jackson accounted for 316 yards and three touchdowns, Brandon Radcliff ran for two TDs and Louisville erased a 24-7 halftime deficit with 31 unanswered points for a 38-24 victory Saturday and fifth straight win over its in-state rival.

This Governor's Cup win was especially sweet for the Cardinals (7-5), who trailed 21-0 after one quarter behind two interceptions leading to 14 points. Jackson replaced Kyle Bolin at quarterback and the mobile freshman rallied Louisville with his arm and feet, accounting for 171 yards in the third quarter alone.
