Lamar Jackson has looked nothing like a Heisman winner against LSU's defense

Lamar Jackson’s late-season slump – which some believed would cost him the Heisman Trophy – carried over into the postseason against LSU.

In the first half of the Citrus Bowl on Saturday, Jackson had -24 yards rushing on 12 carries and 62 passing yards after completing just two of his 10 attempts. He also was sacked for a safety as the Tigers took a 16-6 lead into halftime.

It’s a far cry from the 51-TD (30 passing, 21 rushing) effort that earned the Louisville QB the Heisman during a 9-3 regular season. But give plenty of credit to a ferocious LSU defense, which certainly came to play on Saturday.
