In each of his first three seasons, head coach Kevin Sumlin watched as a Texas A&M quarterback's brilliance propelled him to bowl-game victories.
On Wednesday, Sumlin found out what it's like to be on the opposite sideline.
Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson accounted for four touchdowns, spearheading the Cardinals to a 27-21 victory over Texas A&M in the Music City Bowl at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee.
Jackson, a freshman whose regular-season play was inconsistent at best, was nothing short of brilliant on the big stage. He threw for 227 yards on 12-of-26 passing and added another 226 on the ground, accounting for 453 of Louisville's 534 total yards.
