Jacksonville (0-0) vs Houston (0-0) Game Preview

Jacksonville might also be in a building mode, but at least it has a direction. Trevor Lawrence has good targets to throw to, the running game should be good enough to take the heat off, and the defense is all but getting a warm-up game for Urban Meyer and staff to get the parts together.
