I thought Venebles called a remarkable game, which isn't such a surprise. Jackson had limited good looks because Venable's knows how to call a defense, but he didn't take 10 sacks either. And when he actually did have a decent look, his WRs didn't help. And god, the Louisville defense showed why they gave up over 30 ppg to Purdue and UNC. Because they're bad. Really bad.
So you can continue to be upset over Lamar, but if the dude was on your team, tigernet would be covered in the semen of your massive circlejerking of last year's Heisman. If the voting was even remotely close, I could almost understand your sentiment, but Jackson had the 6th highest percentage of points in history.
