HUNTINGTON, W. Va. -- For the first time all season, Lamar Jackson didn't walk on the field and immediately lead Louisville to a touchdown.
And that in itself was breaking news for the third-ranked team in the country and college football's Heisman Trophy front-runner.
But on the very next time out, Jackson threw a 71-yard touchdown to James Quick and the nation's highest-scoring offense was humming once again. Louisville went on to steamroll Marshall, 59-28, on Saturday night in Huntington, West Virginia.
Next stop on the Cardinals barnstorming tour: a trip to fifth-ranked Clemson for a game with ACC and national championship implications.
