Louisville will retire Lamar Jackson’s No. 8 on Nov. 13

U of L has announced that it will retire Lamar Jackson’s No. 8 jersey during a ceremony at Louisville’s home game vs. Syracuse on Saturday, November 13.

Jackson will become the second player in Cardinal football history to have his number retired, joining the great Johnny Unitas.

He thought he was meeting with the media, but we had other plans...

A legend may not even need a name, but something far more simple…

A Number.
