The sophomore QB is barreling into the Heisman Trophy race.

Louisville quarterback entered Week 2 with eight total touchdowns, scored in only 30 minutes of football against Charlotte, a school record for scores in a game. He had a seat after that, having proved his point.

That"s more touchdowns than all but 13 entire teams scored in the opening weekend. Oh, you"d like to watch that before we catch up on Week 2? Here you go:

Let"s see how he adds to his totals in Week 2"s Friday night against Syracu-

AND THEN HE SCORED AGAIN, five minutes later.

At that point, Jackson had accounted for 12 touchdowns on the year, more than any FBS team in the country. It might sound unfair to add Week 2 minutes to his total, when those teams have only been in one game so far, but he"d only played 40 minutes of football in the entire season at that point.

Missouri, the entire program, only scored 16 touchdowns for all of last season. SMU had only 15 in 2014. Jackson might have that many by Week 3.

Jackson first popped national eyeballs at the end of the 2015 season, when he dropped 227 yards passing and 226 yards rushing on Texas A&M in a Music City Bowl win. I do not believe you can ever have enough Jackson highlights, so here are those as well:

But the former three-star recruit from Fort Lauderdale, Florida was doing ridiculous things as a college freshman even before the rest of the country caught up:

Michael Vick had three games of at least 100 yards passing and rushing in his collegiate career. Lamar Jackson has five this year.
