2. Louisville (2016)

Who can forget this instant classic?

It was the battle between two College Football legends in Deshaun Watson and Lamar Jackson. Both were Heisman contenders and both had ambitions of winning the game, winning the conference and competing in the CFB Playoff.

We all know it was Watson who ended up ultimately winning the game, but what we forget is the role the crowd played in that performance, particularly on the last drive.

Louisville was driving looking to take the lead late in the game and was facing a 4th-and-7 from the Clemson 9-yard line. The Tiger faithful, creating all kinds of noise, drew a false start and put Louisville back to the 16-yard line and they faced a 4th-and-12, instead. Jackson found James Quick open, but the receiver was forced out of bounds about two yards shy of the first down marker, sealing the victory for Clemson.
