Rutgers-Louisville 2006: This comeback victory 'wasn't like any other game' | Part 2

Take away the national rankings, undefeated records, ESPN Thursday night football, a sold-out stadium in need of temporary bleachers, and Mike and the Mad Dog's live radio show from campus on the day of Nov. 9, 2006 at Rutgers Stadium.

What's left? A rematch of a game decided by 51 points the previous season.

Of course, the beauty of the 2006 Rutgers-Louisville classic — No. 15 Rutgers 28, No. 3 Louisville 25 — lies in that the game matched the out-sized hype. Ten years later, it still matches the out-sized legend.
