Louisville had its way with Kentucky in the season-opening Governor’s Cup on Sunday, winning by a score of 32-14. The Cardinals went into halftime with a 22-7 advantage and maintained their momentum as the game went on in the second half.

A field goal four minutes into the third quarter extended the Cardinals’ lead to 18 points. Then, Jeremy Wright rushed for his third touchdown of the game with a one-yard run with 4:37 to go in the third quarter.

Louisville’s offensive line is having its way with the Wildcats’ defensive front, getting off the ball quickly and allowing the Cardinals’ backs to work their way down field. With all the success in the run game, Louisville is controlling the time of possession (19:43 to 10:17) and dominating in rushing yards (136 to 62).

Senorise Perry scored on a 47-yard touchdown run in the second quarter.

Kentucky and Louisville meet up for the 2012 season opener with the Cardinals as the favorite to win this in-state rivalry matchup.

Even though the Cardinals are a favorite, opening the season with a win over an SEC opponent will be good for them if they can make it happen. Cardinals defensive coordinator Vance Bedford is certainly interested to see how his unit is going to come out:
