By: Cooper LedfordThe Kentucky Wildcats were in Louisville, taking on there rivals, the Cardinals, in the first game of the season. UK was looking to start off the season in a positive way, and that they did. Kentucky ends up winning 23-16. A big part of the 'Cats success was Hartline's 217 passing yards, and Locke 2 touchdowns. Here is how all of it happened.
UK scored first, as Derrick Locke ran for a 32 yard score, but the extra point was failed, 6-0 the score. That was just about 40 seconds into the game. The Wildcats would score again with 52 seconds left in the first quarter, as Locke ran it in from a yard out, that made it 13-0.
Louisville would get on the board in the 2nd quarter, with 14:52 to go, when Chris Philpott nailed a 44 yard field goal. 13-3 the score.
Kentucky would answer back, however, when Randall Cobb ran for a 51 yard touchdown, the extra point was good, and the Cats had a 20-3 lead. After a Cardinals field goal, the halftime score was 20-6 with UK on top.
Into the second half we go. UK would only score once in the 2nd half, and that was with 08:52 to go, when Tydlacka kicked a 41 yard field goal, the score was 23-6.
Louisville would score in the 3rd as well, when Powell ran for an 80 yard touchdown, the score was 23-13. In he 4th, L'ville would kick a field goal from 27 yards out, that made it 23-16, and that is how she finished.
