Lamar Jackson Did Not Forget That Fumble
Remember that time Lamar did the Heisman pose, then fumbled? I know you remember how that game ended, and unfortunately, so does Lamar Jackson.
The 2016 Heisman Trophy Winner has never been a colorful orator at the podium, leading many observers to wonder, ‘How much does he care?’ A take many Kentucky fans have pondered this week as Jackson adds to his NFL résumé, I regret to inform you that Lamar does in fact care.
After Jackson racked up 381 total yards and 4 touchdowns in a route of Syracuse, Jackson told reporters he still thinks about the fumble that led to Kentucky’s game-winning drive.

“I’ve waited a whole year for this game,” Jackson said. “Because I fumbled last year and we lost. I don’t like that, so it’s going to be a good game.”
Against Kentucky Jackson accounted for 452 of Louisville’s 561 total yards and 4 touchdowns, but none of it mattered because of that one fumble. A fumble that will live in infamy, a fumble that has been immortalized in the rivalry’s lore is now Jackson’s motivation.
They say, “what goes around, comes around.” Kentucky fans can only hope karma does not rear its ugly head this Saturday at Kroger Field.
