LSU defense shuts down Lamar Jackson, Louisville
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Lamar Jackson won the Heisman Trophy despite a late-season Louisville swoon, one that featured few highlights and many, many sacks.
On paper, LSU presented yet another tough matchup, with a stellar defensive front capable of giving the beleaguered offensive line and, in turn, Jackson, major fits.
Indeed, the Tigers proved to be the dominant group from the outset, sacking, flustering and shackling Jackson on the way to a 29-9 win in the Buffalo Wild Wings Citrus Bowl on Saturday afternoon.
