Upset Win for Stanford Against Heavily Favored Louisville Cardinals With 51 Yard Field Goal to End Game

 

In the battle of the color versus the birds it looked like Stanford for the 7^th time would not prevail
But with time running  out with a 4^th and 1 Lamson tossed a  TD pass with 45 seconds left to an overtime game hopefully nail
A Stanford kickoff with a Cardinals runback brought the ball to the Cardinals 19
3 completed Cardinals’ passes moved it to the Stanford 45
Another 10 yards and a field goal would the Cardinal’s upset hopes deprive
But the Cardinal defense defeathered the Cardinals receivers’ wings
4 incomplete passes and with 10 seconds left the 4^th would a change of possession bring
Daniels hit Mossley for a first down and he went out of bounds at the Cardinals’ 46
But a Cardinals defender was penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct moving the ball to the 39 enabling a field goal attempt rather than a Hail Mary 6
Just before the ball was snapped to be kicked through the goal posts 57 yards away
A Cardinals lineman jumped offsides moving the ball 5 yards closer and the score board would soon a winning 3 points now display
3 wins for the season and a boost to propel the Cardinal to a win over Cal in the Big Game
Who in order to be bowl eligible must win against Stanford or SMU or its bowl hopes go down in flames
