First Quarter


The game kicked off with the Cardinals setting an early tone. Miller Moss led the charge with a precise passing game, completing 12 out of 20 attempts for a total of 182 yards and three touchdowns. His longest pass was a remarkable 43-yard touchdown connection with Jacob Stewart. This early score put pressure on the Big Blue from the start.


Second Quarter


As we moved into the second quarter, it became evident that what went wrong for Louisville Cardinals in previous games was not going to repeat here. The Cards extended their lead by adding another two touchdowns and a field goal before halftime. Braxton Jennings contributed significantly on the ground, rushing for an impressive total of 113 yards on just 20 carries.


Third Quarter


In this period, Tayon Holloway's defensive prowess shone brightly as he intercepted two passes from Kentucky's quarterback. These interceptions were crucial in maintaining momentum and keeping UK scoreless throughout this quarter as well.


Fourth Quarter


The final quarter saw more action from both sides but ultimately ended in favor of Louisville thanks largely due to TJ Quinn’s standout performance defensively; he recorded six tackles along with two sacks which further stifled any attempt by UK at mounting comeback efforts during these last moments.
