THE STORY
On October 1, 2016, Louisville faced Clemson in a regular-season matchup. With Louisville trailing 42-36 and facing fourth-and-12 late in the game, Lamar Jackson completed a short pass to James Quick. Quick ran toward the sideline but stepped out after gaining 11 yards, leaving Louisville one yard short of the first down. The turnover on downs allowed Clemson to run out the clock.
