Inside the play: Lamar Jackson's incredible 47-yard run

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- To explain the last touchdown he scored against Florida State, Lamar Jackson needed to go back to the third quarter.

Up 49-10, Louisville had terrific field position after another long Jaire Alexander punt return. Jackson, who had already run for three scores, took the snap on first down from the Florida State 17 and promptly threw an interception. He went to the sideline and told his teammates he owed them four touchdowns.

Florida State punted on the ensuing possession, giving Jackson another chance. Coach Bobby Petrino called for a run play with Traveon Samuel in motion, giving Jackson the option to keep it or hand it off.
