If he can get loose – quickly – for Jackson, he’ll see a bunch of targets.

At least through two games, it appears Lamar Jackson has focused on proving that his passing game is as good as his running game.
Both of them have the hardware to back up their supremacy claims. How can you not win the Heisman with that body of work? The age difference is 8-and-a-half months, with Jackson entering Louisville for the 2015 season, one year before Mullen landed at Clemson. Swinney and the Tigers went on to win the national championship.
Get ready for another wild game between Clemson and Louisville on Saturday night at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium in Louisville, Kentucky. The defensive line is as talented as any in the nation, and while inspirational linebacker Ben Boulware is gone, Kendall Joseph has stepped in well to fill the void in what is still an athletic linebacking corps.
“We always played against each other our whole life”, Mullen said. “It helps you out a lot because you know he can make plays”.
Louisville’s offense started to go when Brandon Radcliff found some running room. But as long as he’s there, Louisville is a contender.
Fisher, however, is also confident in his team’s abilities, despite having lost to Clemson in all three games played since Louisville joined the ACC. It was his ninth consecutive game with at least one rushing touchdown.
Clemson is favored by three points on the road.
Not only were the Tar Heels unable to stop the Cardinals consistently on third down, but the high number of targets in the flats allowed Jackson to take his shot deep downfield and connect with Jaylen Smith on a 75-yard touchdown in the second quarter.
The ACC is proud to continue its partnership with the College Football Playoff Foundation to inspire and empower teachers. The Longhorns beat San Jose State, but that hardly inspires confidence after a home loss to Maryland to start the season.
Clemson may not be ranked No. 1 in the country tomorrow, but they should be. “I just feel like, if we get after them and do what we do then the game will be simplified for us”. “I just want to be great at what I’m doing”.
It’s scary to think that Jackson is improved from past year, but that has certainly been the case over the season’s first two games.
The following Week Clemson faced Auburn and once again came out on top 14-6.
Clemson dominated to the point that a 14-6 lead seemed insurmountable.
The Cardinals certainly have the offensive firepower to put the pressure on Clemson’s stout defense, as Jackson and Co. rolled up 705 total yards in last week’s 47-35 win at North Carolina and are averaging 41 points in their first two games. What makes them so special? “He just looks like a very confident player to me this year”, Swinney said of Jackson.
His biggest challenge of the season awaits him in Louisville, when the irresistible force meets the immovable object.

Kelly Bryant is the new Clemson quarterback, and has held his own in the first two games. There is no better time to bet on college football and there’s no better place to find the ideal U.S. sportsbook than yours truly. It costs a lot of money to manufacture Kryptonite, but his value in building what’s becoming a Clemson dynasty is priceless.
