Virginia v Louisville
Lamar Jackson

Not given much attention since Louisville have not had a great season in 2017, Lamar Jackson is still arguably the most explosive player in the country. In an attempt to become just the second player in college football history along with Archie Griffin to win the Heisman Trophy twice, Jackson has not disappointed those who have spent the time watching him perform, despite the fact that Louisville are not even ranked.

With his 3,003 passing yards and 1,176 rushing yards, Jackson became the first player in college football history to pass for over 3,000 yards and rush for over 1,000 yards in two consecutive seasons. He won last year's Heisman Trophy with 3,543 passing yards and 1,571 rushing yards, and both his completion percentage and his rushing yards per carry average are better this season than they were last season.

While his current total of 36 touchdowns may not reach his total of 51 from last year, it is clear that he hasn't missed a beat from 2016.
