4. Comeback Victory Against Virginia

This was one of the most stressful games of the entire 2016 season, but this time the Cards were actually able to pull out the victory thanks to Lamar Jackson and Jaylen Smith. Virginia led the entire game, but Louisville was able to comeback to only see the Cavaliers make a touchdown drive and a two-point conversion to go up 25-24.

We were all freaking out that a Louisville football game would finally come down to a field goal because the Cards were going through kickers like crazy at this point in the year.

However, Lamar Jackson made sure that it would never come down to that, as he threw the game-winning touchdown pass to Jaylen Smith with 13 seconds left.

It was an amazing comeback and one that we will not soon forget.
