00:00 [crowd cheering]
00:03 Ray Davis, off right tackle.
00:06 Able to gain four yards.
00:08 Ray Davis currently number four on the NCAA.
00:12 38th start of his career,
00:13 quarterback transfer from NC State.
00:16 Second and six, and Devin Leary's got open space,
00:19 and Leary past midfield.
00:21 Excuse me, Ray Davis past midfield.
00:23 Trying to get Ray Davis here into the second level.
00:26 Good patience following the block.
00:28 He feels the bounce out to the outside.
00:31 [crowd cheering]
00:33 Third and 14 for Devin Leary.
00:35 Pressure up the middle,
00:36 and he is ripped down immediately by Wilson.
00:40 Two defenders over here stacked.
00:42 He's going to loop inside.
00:43 There's a little bit of a game,
00:45 and Kentucky's not there to pick it up.
00:47 The center, Eli Cox, slow working that way in protection.
00:51 [crowd cheering]
00:54 Lorendo on second and one, trying to bounce it,
00:57 and instead, Palou's yardage as J.J. Weaver
01:01 came up with the tackle of Isaac Goren.
01:03 [crowd cheering]
01:06 Jordan straight ahead, and he's wrestled down
01:09 right near the line of scrimmage by Big.
01:11 [crowd cheering]
01:14 Leary, they pick up the pressure,
01:17 goes downfield, and gets it complete to Brown.
01:21 Ray Davis picks this up and stones it,
01:23 and that's what gives Devin Leary an opportunity
01:25 to throw a perfect back shoulder throw to Barry and Brown.
01:30 Working against Louisville's best corner, Quincy Riley,
01:33 there is no defense.
01:35 25-yard reception for Brown.
01:38 They go jet here.
01:40 This is Brown now.
01:41 Look at him, high-stepping.
01:43 Little Dion shuffle as he strides out for 10 1/2 yards.
01:48 Third and 10 for Devin Leary and the Cats.
01:52 Goes shallow underneath, and then up and over
01:56 for the first down.
01:59 Two tight ends in this game.
02:01 You see 82 working the drag.
02:03 Devin Leary does a nice job stepping up a bit,
02:06 and the athleticism going up and over,
02:09 understanding where the sticks are.
02:11 That is a huge third-down conversion --
02:14 or, sorry, a big, big play on third down early in this game.
02:18 [crowd cheering]
02:22 Second and six. Jefferson straight ahead,
02:25 and he will move the chains
02:26 and give a little extra fight inside the 30.
02:29 [crowd cheering]
02:32 Play action.
02:34 Leary gets it complete inside the 15-yard line
02:40 as he's able to connect with Dane Key.
02:42 Beautiful pocket here for Devin Leary to throw from.
02:45 He can step up.
02:46 He can get through his progressions,
02:48 allow this slow-developing route
02:49 on the crossing route to happen.
02:52 Remember, Dane Key dropped a pass similar to this
02:54 earlier on to Dig.
02:55 This time puts it right on his chest.
02:58 Devin Leary does a good...
03:01 Leary, quick strike to the outside.
03:06 And Robinson is taken down at the 8-yard line.
03:12 Leary, third and six to the end zone.
03:15 What an effort to come up with it.
03:17 Dane Key.
03:19 [crowd cheering]
03:25 Dane Key up top is running the fade.
03:28 Freezing right there. Look at this.
03:30 That is a tremendous job, pre-snap,
03:32 understanding where he's going to go with the football
03:34 and how about the location of that throw,
03:36 putting it out in front of the 6'3" target,
03:39 who time and time again this year
03:40 has been able to use his size to his advantage.
03:44 Big body slants, stick routes, and now the fade.
03:48 [crowd cheering]
03:51 Devin Leary, man in his face as he delivers
03:55 and is able to get it to Bates.
03:57 [crowd cheering]
04:01 Third and 12.
04:03 Leary pressured again, has to check down to Davis,
04:06 and Davis only able to get a few yards back against Storm Duck.
04:11 In Bristol? No.
04:12 Come on now.
04:15 Dorendo dragged down from behind.
04:18 I figured Boone would be about plus 15,
04:20 but he looks good getting on the Peloton
04:22 the next day after that.
04:25 One time out for Louisville, third and six.
04:29 Trying to get up the field is Callaway,
04:31 but he is wrestled down and dragged back.
04:34 [crowd cheering]
04:37 Play action.
04:39 Plummer pumps, trying to turn the corner himself,
04:42 and he is met and stopped.
04:47 Ward-Sorton made it a 17-7 game.
04:50 [crowd cheering]
04:53 Brown's going to take it out from the end zone.
04:56 And it's a good decision.
04:59 Barry-On Brown.
05:01 [crowd cheering]
05:06 Well, now how's that Kentucky fan feeling?
05:09 Mighty good.
05:11 [crowd cheering]
05:13 100-yard touchdown return for Brown.
05:18 He's done it again.
05:20 I don't have a problem taking it out of the end zone.
05:23 Not when you got jets like this.
05:25 Full striding all the way.
05:29 And this rivalry just heats up even higher.
05:34 Getting to the outside, I think, helps this rushing offense.
05:36 First offensive play of the second half for Kentucky.
05:39 Wide open, and Cummings still going down to the 20-yard line.
05:48 I think it was Mason Ryker, the defensive end,
05:50 that needs to run with him down the boundary on this play,
05:53 but he doesn't.
05:54 He just kind of turns around and lets him go.
05:56 There's nobody back there.
05:58 And we talked about Kentucky being down
06:00 their top two tight ends in this game,
06:02 and Cummings now shows up with a monster grab.
06:07 He's a local Louisville guy.
06:09 Went to male high school.
06:11 [crowd cheering]
06:14 Leary looking for Davis in the end zone.
06:18 Touchdown, Kentucky!
06:22 Back and forth they go!
06:26 This game has got absolutely crazy.
06:28 Devon Leary, great job really selling this,
06:30 coming back, locating Davis
06:33 with a perfect touch throw over top.
06:36 When they've given Devon Leary time, Joe, in this game,
06:39 he's made some really good-looking throws.
06:43 We talked, Katie was telling us at the start of the drive.
06:48 Jordan hits the seam, and a no ball came out!
06:52 Ball came out at the end,
06:54 just as he was spinning for extra yardage.
06:57 There is a fight for it.
07:00 What a great effort by J.J. Weaver
07:02 from Kentucky in pursuit.
07:05 Once Jordan got into the second level,
07:07 it was a play foul, and look who has it.
07:10 Tremendous pursuit and effort.
07:13 He was able to sort of rip that out with his right arm.
07:18 Jordan puts it on the floor,
07:19 and that is a massive turnover for this Kentucky defense.
07:24 We want to talk about seizing momentum
07:27 and what they've done here in the third quarter
07:29 on special teams, on offense, and now finally on defense.
07:34 J.J. Weaver, all on his own, knocking it out,
07:38 recovering it, the first turnover.
07:42 Leary throwing back to Davis.
07:45 Davis passed midfield.
07:47 Davis cuts it back to the 42-yard this year.
07:52 The pitch, Davis, got to get it, and he does.
08:03 And around Brown.
08:05 Gets the block, cuts up inside the 30,
08:08 and tiptoes his way for more.
08:10 I think this is going to the left,
08:12 when in reality it's not.
08:13 He's going to start this way and peel around and get a lead block.
08:18 We've seen a lot of creativity from Liam Cohen
08:20 in this game, calling plays.
08:21 We talked about how it wasn't just going to be Ray Davis.
08:24 This to tie the game from 46.
08:29 [crowd cheering]
08:34 And he does so.
08:35 As Rayner continues.
08:48 Third and three.
08:49 Plummer trying to extend the play and look at an option.
08:52 May have to run it here on third and three.
08:54 Ball came out!
08:56 The ball came out!
08:59 And it's J.J. Weaver again!
09:02 With another huge takeaway.
09:03 Here's Jackson.
09:05 Plummer doesn't do a good job with ball security,
09:07 tucking the ball away,
09:09 and, you know, the football takes crazy bounces.
09:11 Think that thing was going to go out of bounds, but it didn't.
09:14 And J.J. Weaver again for the second straight drive,
09:17 doesn't quit on the play, and he's there to pick it up.
09:20 This has been the difference in the game right now.
09:22 Two turnovers, both for Kentucky's defense.
09:27 Kentucky taking over at the Louisville 22-yard line.
09:32 This --
09:33 [crowd cheering]
09:37 Davis trying to get out of the backfield.
09:39 Davis upfield! Inside the tent!
09:41 Into the end zone!
09:43 How about these cats?
09:45 [crowd cheering]
09:47 Liam Cohen, you're getting him one-on-one
09:50 with a linebacker, Jalen Alderman, on the screen,
09:53 and Ray Davis in space is a problem.
09:57 We haven't seen him do a lot of damage
09:59 toting the rock in this game.
10:01 Six carries for 15.
10:02 [crowd cheering]
10:07 Plummer goes underneath,
10:09 and that's down to the 21-yard line.
10:12 And as he connects, with a blister.
10:15 [crowd cheering]
10:18 Ray Davis looking for something.
10:20 Ray Davis getting loose.
10:22 [crowd cheering]
10:27 Second and ten for Leary.
10:29 [crowd cheering]
10:32 What a great throw, and into the hands of Brown.
10:36 And they are in range for a chance to win it.
10:38 Between a corner and a safety,
10:40 he uses his eyes to try to freeze the safety
10:42 in the middle of the field.
10:43 This thing has to come out,
10:45 and he puts it in the perfect place.
10:47 I'll tell you, that's big time, too,
10:49 for a guy that just threw a critical interception
10:51 that led to a Louisville touchdown.
10:53 To answer like that on the very next drive is impressive.
10:57 [crowd cheering]
10:59 Starting six.
11:01 [crowd cheering]
11:03 Ray Davis.
11:05 Here goes Ray!
11:07 Say goodbye to Ray!
11:10 Into the end zone!
11:12 And the Cats are in control!
11:15 [crowd cheering]
11:19 There's a lot of running backs at this moment
11:20 that would have tried to bounce it outside.
11:22 He cut it back.
11:24 He made a defender miss, and like we've seen all season,
11:29 he's able to hit the gas, and it's daylight.
11:32 [crowd cheering]
11:36 There was a time this year after the Florida game
11:38 that people were talking about Ray Davis
11:40 being a dark horse Heisman candidate.
11:43 The second half of the season's been tough sledding
11:45 for them running the football,
11:47 but catching the ball in the third quarter,
11:49 now getting it done on the ground.
11:52 His dream season for Louisville.
11:55 It comes down to this.
11:57 He's going to loft it to the end zone!
12:00 That ball is intercepted!
12:02 That is Jordan Lovett to put a cap on it!
12:08 You don't see many Hail Marys from the 32-yard line,
12:10 but this was it.
12:11 I thought they had an opportunity
12:12 to try to dial something up
12:13 to get down a little bit closer.
12:16 He threw it down there.
