ast year, Lamar Jackson opened his sophomore season with three straight video-game-like performances.
In those games, the Louisville Cardinals faced UNC-Charlotte, Syracuse and Florida State. Jackson passed for 913 yards, ran for 464 more, and scored 18 touchdowns while doing the majority of that work in the first half.

Note that the NYDN complains, “In a sport that’s dominated by black men between the ages of 18-22, can you name a top black college football writer?”
No, because the racists at the NTDN won’t hire a top black college football writer.
Based on what these simpletons are saying, you’d think no minority has ever been awarded the Heisman Trophy.
Jacksons talents, while impressive, also don’t quite translate to next level success like the rest. I realize we’re talking about just college here but sportswriters also want to jump on the bandwagon of somebody who’s going to succeed in the NFL too. Catch a rising star
Plus it’s USC. Bigtime program compared to Jacksons.
Jamarcus Russell, Cam Newton, Vince Young...those guys got PLENTY of hype.
and two years ago Christian McCaffrey was overlooked for all pre-season accolades- because he was a white running back...
When you need attention or want something... Just claim victim status!
that’s not the simpleton part....the writer is complaining that somehow Lamar Jackson is an attention whore for not receiving PRE-SEASON accolades...no awards are given to anyone for being named to a pre-season All America team or being ranked #1 in the polls...in fact it could be an albatross if you don’t live up to expectations...
Ooooh...football powerhouse UNC-Charlotte
If anyone watched and listened to Jackson’s Heisman acceptance speech last year you will know it was a complete embarrassment. He would utter a mumbling sentence and then say, This is crazy man... This went on for 2 minutes or more. Did he ever attend class. With Petrino running that program, it is doubtful.
Sounds like the less public exposure he gets off-field, the better off he will be. Why does the New York Daily News hate Jackson? Are they racist?
If he needs money, he could probably get a decent amount for that Heisman trophy on Ebay.
Seriously. And Syracuse is a joke FB program too. Wow, impressive performances against early season tomato cans and one good game against a FSU program that has clearly taken a step backwards.
When you see the race card, you know they’ve reached the end of their arguments.
I voted for Lamar over De Shaun for the Heisman trophy. After seeing De Shaun in the Alabama game, I knew I’d made a mistake. I should have voted for De Shaun for the Heisman.
Wrong. Lamar Jackson doesn’t have the skill set necessary to play in the NFL as a quarterback.
The Heismann voting should occur after all the bowl games. Never understood the rush.
