By Dalton Ray–

Fifth-ranked Louisville needed a game-winning drive to defeat unranked Virginia on the road. Lamar Jackson led a gutsy final drive and threw a 29 yard strike to Jaylen Smith for the go-ahead score. Capping off a 75-yard drive with 13 seconds remaining, U of L avoided a huge upset 32-25.

Jackson totaled 451 yards and four touchdowns. Jamari Staples and Cole Hikutini both had big games, the pair hauled in 13 catches and over 200 yards between the two.
