Lamar Jackson hurdles defender on picturesque touchdown
Lamar Jackson is putting together quite the season for Louisville.
The sophomore quarterback generated 610 yards of offense and six touchdowns in the Cardinals’ 62-28 win over Syracuse on Friday night at the Carrier Dome. The victory included an amazing touchdown run by Jackson where he hurdled a defender on a picturesque play:

“I had nothing else to do,” Jackson said of his options. “It was on an angle. I was thinking I gotta take flight and get into the end zone.”
The touchdown should come as no surprise considering Jackson has been known to show some moves:
In addition to his 610 yards on Friday, Jackson accounted for eight touchdowns in Louisville’s season opener. Put him on your Heisman list.
