Louisville’s Lamar Jackson won the Heisman Trophy on Saturday, making official what many thought was a foregone conclusion halfway through the college football season.
Jackson’s statistics made a strong case for the Heisman. He completed 58 percent of his passes (220 of 382) for 3,390 yards and 30 touchdowns with nine interceptions. He ran the ball 234 times for 1,538 yards and 21 touchdowns.
He is the third player in FBS history with 30 passing touchdowns and 20 rushing touchdowns in the same season. The other two players (Cam Newton and Tim Tebow) also won the Heisman.
