Nobody had given up on Trevor Lawrence. But before the Jacksonville Jaguars‘ final game this season, Lawrence looked very little like the star he was touted to be.  Blame Urban Meyer or Lawrence’s teammates or the Jaguars in general for a bad rookie season, but it has been a bad rookie season. He hadn’t thrown for more than one touchdown in a game since the season opener. His passer rating for the 10 games before Sunday’s finale was a ghastly 66. Not that the Jaguars were going to be… Source link

Instead, Oklahoma State stormed back and scored 30… Source link
