Louisville's entire season appeared to be on the line Saturday, and then, Lamar Jackson came to the rescue, as he has done so many times.

With his team trailing 25-24, Jackson came through with one of the throws of the year, and quite possibly his "Heisman moment." He dropped back, and hit Jaylen Smith for a perfectly executed, 29-yard touchdown pass with 13 seconds to go, to give the Cardinals the lead (with the video below).

It was the perfect throw, at the perfect moment, at a time when his team absolutely needed it.

The throw might not have officially clinched Jackson the Heisman Trophy, but if and when he does win it, that play will be sure to end up at the top of his season's highlight reel.
