Swinney: Lamar Jackson is 'one of them hold your breath guys'

Clemson safety Jadar Johnson may not know who Lamar Jackson is, but Dabo Swinney certainly does.

The Tigers head coach talked about the Louisville quarterback Wednesday, praising his talent.

Jackson has totaled 25 touchdowns in only four games this season, which includes scampering for four scores on the ground earlier this year against Florida State.

No. 5 Clemson will provide the Heisman front-runner with his toughest challenge to date, though, as the Cardinals will do battle with the the Tigers in prime time.

If Jackson continues to put up video-game like numbers against a defense that is only conceding an average of 11 points per game, it's going to be a very tall task for someone to overtake him for the Heisman.
