Better QB TD run: Jackson vs. Hurts (0:41)
ESPN Stats & Info

Jackson's for real

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.

Ryan McGee ESPN Senior Writer 

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.

Seth Walder ESPN Analytics 

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.
