- The Cats snapped a five-game losing streak to Louisville.
- It was UK's first win over a Top 25 team on the road since their '02 victory at No. 17 UofL.
- UK has seven regular-season wins for the first time since 2009.
- UK rushed for 229 yards today, the most this season against Louisville, who came into the game with the nation's No. 6 rush defense at 99.2 yards per game.
- UK averaged 8.07 yards per play today, compared to Louisville's 4.27 yard average.
- Stephen Johnson had 338 yards passing, 421 total yards and 3 touchdowns, all career-highs. He's bringing this sweet trophy home.
