Virginia has Louisville on upset alert thanks in part to this sweet hurdle

That’s Virginia receiver Doni Dowling bounding over a Louisville defender, setting up a touchdown that put the Cavaliers up, 17-7, over the No. 5 Cardinals in the third quarter.

Minutes later, Heisman Trophy favorite Lamar Jackson — who has a relatively pedestrian 242 yards on the day — threw a bad interception that didn’t result in any points for the Hoos, but that did take a little more time off the clock and foul up a field position opportunity.

Seeing as Louisville entered as 34-point favorites, this might rank as the biggest upset of the entire 2016 season, if UVA can hang on.

Head coach Bobby Petrino entered the half upset about a series of holding calls that went against Louisville during a crucial drive.

Making this whole thing even more bitter for Louisville: hurdling folks is one of Jackson’s specialties. He’s been doing it since high school:

Louisville entered the day a game behind Clemson in the ACC standings and in need of a little help to crash the ACC Championship and thus have a chance at the College Football Playoff. A loss to Virginia would all but lock up the division for the Tigers, whether they can beat Florida State later Saturday or not.
