LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Lamar Jackson lost the ball, No. 11 Louisville lost the game to rival Kentucky and it remains to be seen how it all will impact the Heisman Trophy race that once belonged to the Cardinals quarterback just a few weeks ago.The Louisville sophomore had a record-setting day on Saturday, even striking a spontaneous Heisman pose following a game-tying touchdown midway through the fourth quarter before all that jubilation turned to disappointment after a 41-38 loss. Jackson didnt want to talk about the Heisman after the game, instead focusing on his team was trying to digest another mistake-filled loss.This loss is gonna be hard, Jackson said. Its our rival. Our seniors didnt go out right.Kentuckys seniors are going out on a high note.Austin MacGinnis 47-yard field goal with 12 seconds remaining gave the Wildcats the upset, an unexpected turnaround after Jackson was driving the Cardinals toward a go-ahead score late in the game. Jacksons fumble at Kentuckys 10 was recovered by the Wildcats Courtney Love with 1:45 left. Stephen Johnson then led Kentucky (7-5) downfield and into position for MacGinnis game-winning kick that ended Kentuckys five-game losing streak in the series.I had great confidence in him, Kentucky coach Mark Stoops said of MacGinnis. I was numb. I just wanted to finish it.Jacksons desperation heave as time expired from deep in Louisville territory was intercepted by Mike Edwards, his second pick of the game, and set off a wild celebration among the Wildcats and their fans.MacGinnis might have been the happiest Wildcat, having earlier saved Kentuckys season with a 51-yard kick to beat Mississippi State . This one provided the programs first seven-win season since 2009.As soon as we got that fumble I knew my team was going to give me a chance, said MacGinnis, who also kicked a 35-yarder. I cant give enough love to my snapper and holder.Jackson likely could have wrapped up the Heisman with his record-setting day, but a second consecutive loss could impact the race. Jacksons day included three interceptions -- one of which was converted into a touchdown -- and his late fumble led to the game-winning kick.Louisville running back Brandon Radcliff, however, said this loss was not Jacksons fault.He got us all these wins, Radcliff said. Hes a great player. The competitive spirit hes got, hes always going to put it on himself. Nobody in this locker room believes this (loss) is on Lamar.Jackson tallied his school-record eighth 100-yard rushing game and broke the Louisville season mark for rushing yards. His four touchdowns also broke the Atlantic Coast Conference single-season record (he has 51), but the Cardinals (9-3) were left wondering what might have been -- again.Sometimes in this game, you find ways to win and sometimes you find ways to lose games, Louisville coach Bobby Petrino said. I certainly feel like we found a way to lose that game. Give Kentucky credit.POLL IMPLICATIONSLouisville will likely drop again in the poll with its second straight loss, the question may only be how far.THE TAKEAWAYKentucky: Stephen Johnsons season-long success with deep post passes continued in the first half with TDs that kept the Cardinals on their heels. His touchdown passes covered 75 and 63 yards to Garrett Johnson and 35 to Dorian Baker. More importantly, he didnt flinch in the clutch, hitting key passes and running on Kentuckys final drive. The Wildcats outgained Louisville 581-561.I had a missed throw that couldve sealed the game, said Johnson, who was named the games Most Valuable Player. Im really happy with the offense.Louisville: Jackson accounted for four touchdowns and 452 yards (171 rushing, 281 passing) and broke Howard Stevens 1,429 yards rushing mark in 1971. He also broke the ACC single-season record for TDs accounted for previously held by Clemsons Deshaun Watson. Turnovers, however, were too costly to overcome as Jackson threw three interceptions.UP NEXT:Kentucky: Awaiting bowl destination.Louisville: Awaiting bowl destination.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org Nike Vapormax Canada .com) - The red-hot Los Angeles Kings will try to extend their winning streak to a season-high seven games when they visit the Edmonton Oilers for Sundays clash at Rexall Place.

"I wrote 36 on my sheet at the beginning of the game," the Cincinnati coach said, referring the yard line the ball would need to be snapped from. Louisville winds up ACC play this weekend pretty much knowing that a win over Wake Forest isnt going to be enough to get the Cardinals into the conference championship game.That would take a complete collapse by undefeated Clemson over the next two weeks.But the No. 6 Cardinals (8-1, 6-1 ACC) still harbor hopes of snagging one of the four spots in the College Football Playoff as they prepare to host Wake Forest Saturday. Kickoff is at 7 p.m. ET with ESPN2 telecasting from Papa Johns Cardinal Stadium in Louisville.After the Demon Deacons (6-3, 3-2 ACC) the Cardinals go out of conference play with a trip to Houston and a home game against instate rival Kentucky winding up their regular season.Impressive wins in their last three games could provide them with an argument to be included in the playoff, but Cardinals coach Bobby Petrino wants his players to focus only on the Deacons, who nearly upset the Cardinals last year in Winston-Salem.All I told them was we can only control how we play, how we go out and perform, and how we win games, Petrino said. That is the only thing we can control right there.How they win games is usually big. The Cardinals romped past Boston College 52-7 last week and earlier whipped North Carolina State 54-13, Florida State 63-20, and Syracuse 63-28.Quarterback Lamar Jackson has been the main catalyst and early on established himself as the favorite for the Heisman Trophy. He has rushed for over 131 yards a game, passed for nearly 306, and has accounted for 45 touchdowns -- 19 on runs and 26 on passes -- while throwing just six interceptions in 288 pass attempts.But the Cardinals also have had some close calls.They scored a late touchdown that came with the help of a late penalty against Duke for a 10-point win at home over the Blue Devils, and they scored with just 13 seconds left for a 32-25 win at Virginia after falling behind 25-24 with just over two minutes left. The Cardinals lost by six at Clemson after falling behind by 18 points.ddddddddddddThe close calls could have affected Louisvilles placement when the first CFP rankings came out last week. The Cardinals were No. 7 then.I know that last week when the rankings came out our players were upset about it, Petrino said. Really what we talked about was that we really just need to go out and play well and execute and play the type of ball that we know how to play.I do think it motivated us.The result was the 45-point destruction of Boston College.Wake Forest, with its aggressive and veteran defense, could be a different matter.Their defensive front will be as active as anybody we have played this year, Petrino said. What I mean by that is they really rush the passer, they play great technique on the run, their linebackers are fast and sprint to the football, and very experienced secondary.While the Cardinals came into the season looking to compete for a national championship, the Deacons have already achieved their goal. Coach Dave Clawson made no secret of the fact he was intent on getting his team into the postseason. With six wins already and a plethora of bowls, that seems a certainty.I was very open about it and very frank about it at the beginning of the year, that I thought it was a very realistic expectation to go to a bowl game this year, he said. I would have been very disappointed if we didnt get into a bowl.Quarterback John Wolford, who has started since his freshman year, has been a key figure. He had a 64-yard touchdown run in Wakes 27-20 win over Virginia last week and is second on the team in rushing with 456 yards, behind running back Matt Colburns 463. The Deacons have already rushed for more yards in nine games (1,476) than they had all of 2015 (1,262).This was a big goal for us going into the year, Wolford said of reaching bowl eligibility. But we cant be satisfied. ' ' '
