Kentucky was down though never truly out against Louisville, needing just a spark to create momentum in a game that matters more than others. Barion Brown provided that with a huge kickoff return, and Ray Davis took over from there. Davis broke free for a go-ahead, 37-yard touchdown run with 1:02 remaining and caught two second-half touchdowns, helping the Wildcats rally past No. 9 Louisville 38-31 on Saturday in the Governor's Cup.

Dismissed as a conference pretender in a preseason poll while adapting to a coaching change, Louisville is now trophy hunting. The No. 9 Cardinals (10-1, No. 10 CFP ) claimed their first last week with the Schnellenberger Trophy after defeating Miami 38-31. The Governor's Cup carries a lot of weight literally (110 pounds) and metaphorically for both teams with Bluegrass bragging rights at stake.
