Kentucky picked a fight with Lamar Jackson, who then dunked on the Cats in a blowout win

During Saturday’s Louisville-Kentucky rivalry game in Lexington, there were several Lamar Jackson-related fireworks, both the regular kind and another kind.

First: Jackson got knocked out of bounds and, in the moments after the play, got into a shoving match with Kentucky’s Jordan Jones.

Their little exchange of pleasantries became a whole thing, with a group of Kentucky players piling on top of Jackson as he wrestled with Jones on the ground.

The episode resulted in offsetting unsportsmanlike conduct penalties, so neither team came off any worse than the other. The Cardinals scored a couple of plays later to take a 14-0 lead. Jones had appeared to keep jawing at Jackson.

There might be some extra bad blood between the teams from last year’s meeting in Louisville, too. In that game, Jackson struck a Heisman pose after a long touchdown run but later fumbled in crunch time as the Cards lost at home.
