Sorry I missed it, but WOWEE, what a comeback!
Believe it or not, there was no OT!
A Louisville defender committed one of the most boneheaded personal fouls I've ever seen with one second left, refusing to let go of the leg of an out-of-bounds Stanford player and then pushing him for good measure, all right in front of a ref.
As egregious and stupid as this foul was, it was bookended by two plays that were similarly awful if you are a Louisville fan. The Cardinals, after a time out, decided to try a Hail Mary on fourth-and-ten with 11 seconds left in regulation, which give Stanford the ball with five seconds left.
Then, after the personal foul call, a Louisville defender jumped offsides. Kenney would have had a 57-yard attempt had there been no offsides penalty, and it didn't look like the game-winning kick would have been good from five yards further out.
Truly, three plays that will go down in infamy for Louisville fans. But credit Kenney with the clutch kick, and the entire team and coaching staff for coming back when things really looked bleak in the third quarter.
