2. Lamar Jackson rebounds with 450 all-purpose yards

After two of the best possible starts to begin the year, Lamar Jackson has been stymied in recent weeks. In fact, he had over 700 yards passing and five touchdowns with no picks along with 239 rushing yards and two more scores in the first two games. Since then, he has nine touchdown passes and four interceptions.

On top of that, Jackson has broken 100 yards just once in the four games since with four rushing scores. He had strong games against Kent State and Murray State in the middle of that stretch, but wasn’t utilized as much as he would be against teams like NC State or Clemson because the Cardinals were ahead by so much.

Against Boston College, Jackson will have his best game since the second game of the year against North Carolina. He’s going to account for over 450 all-purpose yards — 350 through the air and 100 on the ground.

Oh yeah, and he will have five total touchdowns. The Cardinals need him to be on top of his game and he will be on Saturday afternoon.
