Louisville football quarterback Lamar Jackson doesn’t have enough help to keep his team in the national title conversation, but he’s still making SportCenter Top-10 players regularly.

There has only been one repeat Heisman Trophy winner in the history of the award. A repeat performance is unlikely, but that’s not because Jackson has lost a step. On the contrary, the Cardinals quarterback has shown better pocket presence in addition to his explosiveness on the ground.
Even though it wasn’t Jackson’s best statistical performance of the season, he still found a way to put together a compilation of SportsCenter Top-10 plays. Highlighted by this huge third quarter scamper.
With the game tied at 14 each, Jackson ran circles around the Seminoles all the way to the red zone. It took five defenders to bring down the slippery signal caller. The Cardinals would punch it into endzone shortly after to take the lead.
The teams would trade scores until the final minutes of the game when a Florida State would give the Cardinals the ball for the final time. Who else but Lamar Jackson led the team down the field to set up the game winning field goal. The kick was good, and the Cardinals picked up the win on the road.
Florida State fell to 2-4. Although they played well on Saturday, it’s hard to fault anybody for letting Lamar Jackson make just enough big plays. He’s made plenty of teams look silly in his college career and the Seminoles became the latest victim of the Lamar Jackson highlight tour.
