Rivalry Saturday provided college football fans with one of the best watching college football days in sometimes, as there were some incredible games. One of the bigger upsets on the day was Kentucky knocking off No. 10 Louisville, 38-31.
The Wildcats were trailing entering the fourth quarter, but outscored Louisville 17-7 in the fourth to get the victory. It was a historic day of sorts for Kentucky, as the Wildcats did a couple things they haven’t done in a while.
The win on Saturday was the first road win against a Top 10 team in the AP Poll since Oct. 1, 1977 against Penn State.
