The reigning Heisman Trophy winner hasn't disappointed so far this season. Lamar Jackson racked up the third-most total yards through two games since 2000 in the Cardinals' contests against Purdue and North Carolina, coming just six short of surpassing his mark from last year.
Woody Dantzler alert!! According to ESPN Stats & Info, Lamar Jackson today became 2nd ACC QB with at least 500 total yards, 6 touchdowns, and no turnovers in a road game. The other was Dantzler in 2001 when Clemson visited NC State.
Lamar Jackson posted an impressive adjusted QBR of 94.2 in Louisville's win over UNC today. Believe it or not, he had a QBR better than that in four games last year.
Jaylen Smith: "They say the roof is the ceiling here. Lamar has no roof and no ceiling."
Difference for Lamar Jackson this year? He says he wants to let his receivers shine...
Bobby Petrino said Lamar Jackson's 75-yard TD pass to Jaylen Smith wasn't the coverage they were expecting, but it was a sign of Jackson's growth.
Reigning Heisman Trophy winner Lamar Jackson accounted for 525 total yards and six touchdowns to help No. 17 Louisville pull away late and beat North Carolina 47-35 on Saturday.
Responsible for 525 total yards and six touchdowns, Louisville QB Lamar Jackson made a heavy case to repeat as Heisman winner in the Cardinals' win over UNC.
Lamar Jackson has two of the three seasons since 2000 in which a player accounted for 1,000 yards of offense through his team's first two games.
DB coaches going to have nightmares after this one. Louisville and UNC are combined 49-of-70 (70%) for 721 yards (10.3/pass). All 3 QBs who've played - Lamar Jackson, Chazz Surratt and Brandon Harris - have averaged at least 10 yards per attempt.
Lamar Jackson's 514 yards of offense is the most ever against a North Carolina defense.
Don't think Lamar Jackson can win a second straight Heisman? He just tossed his third TD of the day against UNC, to go with two more on the ground. Jackson has 393 yards through the air and 121 on the ground, with 9:32 left to play.
In his Heisman campaign last season, when Lamar Jackson wowed the country during an explosive September, he mustered 972 yards of offense against his first 2 Power 5 foes. This year? He's got 931 and still has 13 mins left to go against UNC.
Lamar Jackson is the second player in FBS history to have back-to-back games with 300 Pass yds and 100 Rush yds (Rice QB Chase Clement did it in 2007). It's his 3rd career game with 300 Pass yards and 100 Rush yards, matching Nick Fitzgerald and Jordan Lynch for the 2nd-most such games since 2000. Only Johnny Manziel (4) has more.
