Citrus Bowl (December 31): Louisville QB Lamar Jackson

Do you really need an explanation why Lamar “Heisman” Jackson is worth watching in a bowl game? Fine. There’s the epic play where he hurdled a Syracuse defender that went viral on the internet.

There’s also the fact he was eighth in college football in rushing yards and had 21 rushing touchdowns. Let that sink in. The starting quarterback of an elite program rushed for 1,538 yards which was good for 128.2 per game. Jackson also averaged 6.6 yards every time he ran the ball.

Every time Jackson touches the ball it can lead to a big play through him throwing the ball or running the ball. Jackson threw 30 touchdowns and passed for 3,390 yards this season.

Buckle up, football fans, and enjoy the Lamar Jackson highlight show.
