Kentucky: Nov. 25 vs. Louisville

Louisville appeared to be destined for the College Football Playoff behind Heisman Trophy winner Lamar Jackson last season, but the Cardinals fell apart down the stretch. They lost their final three games of the season, including a loss to in-state rival Kentucky.

While the Heisman winner did account for 452 yards and four touchdowns, he also turned the ball over four times, including three interceptions. Kentucky outscored Louisville 20-14 in second half and won 41-38, giving them their first win over the Cardinals since 2010.

Louisville leads the all-time series 14-9.

Honorable Mention: Sept. 2 @ Southern Miss (7-6, 4-4 in Conf. USA). Beat Kentucky 44-35 in 2016.
