Following Clemson’s dramatic 42-36 victory over Louisville last year, Clemson linebacker Ben Boulware told us he was glad he did not have to play Lamar Jackson again. It was the only time in his four-year career Boulware said that about an opposing player.
The good news for Boulware is that he will not have to play against the Heisman Trophy winner unless they meet up again on Sundays. The bad news for Boulware’s alma mater is that No. 2 Clemson visits Lamar Jackson and the 14th-ranked Cardinals this Saturday at Papa John’s Stadium in Louisville, Ky.
And the thing is Jackson might be even better this year than he was last year.
