1. Lamar Jackson is still a rising superstar
Any writer in America could spend all day and night writing about how great of a player Lamar Jackson is. After only one quarter of play, Jackson already had almost 200 yards passing, 100 yards rushing, and four total touchdowns. That is ridiculous for a guy coming off an eight touchdowns half against the Charlotte 49ers.
He made some great throws in this game to James Quick and Jamari Staples. The connection between those three guys are going to be very important throughout the rest of the 2016 season. The 72 yard bomb to start the game was one of the most exciting plays you will see all season for Louisville.
Well, I guess that is if you fell asleep during Lamar Jackson’s touchdown run where he hurdled the defender. Syracuse quarterback Eric Dungey tried to do the same thing, but it was a very different outcome.
An area where Lamar Jackson needs to improve is his accuracy. Yes, I know that he has come a long way since last season, but he still has room for improvement. When there is tight coverage in crucial games, he is going to need to show he can fit the ball into some tight spaces.
