Wow.  I had not seen that much of him this year before the CG obviously.  I guess UGA should be proud they held him to 37 or whatever they scored.

He is insane, and bound for the Bungles?  Can he stay at LSU another year?
I see Burrow/OC Brady as combining what is normally and either/or proposition:
in 99%+ of passing games,
a)  you have either a great passing QB who fits it into tight spots - this is mitigated by that QB being overconfident and feeling like he can fit it in there every time, which inevitably leads to INTs.....OR
b)  you have a great OC who designs pass plays with major mismatches and guys running wide open - which works, even with a limited QB
.
This year's LSU passing game has both - it is both.  Burrow can fit it into tight spaces AND doesn't need to do so when he shouldn't, because the rest of the time, he's got mismatches to exploit or guys running open.
.
That being said, Burrow isn't some surefire #1 savior QB.  Any NFL team hoping that his skill alone will be enough, I don't think it'll work out well.  He needs (and anyone would benefit from) a special passing-game OC.

I doubt LSU would put up these numbers on Ohio State or Clemson, but I guess we'll find out.  Burrow is mobile and usually getting time to throw and throws on the move like crazy.  OSU might be able to break his composure a bit with Young?

Yeah, if he ends up with the Bungles, I fear for his health.  Maybe someone can trade up and get him who is semi-competent.  Love to see him with the Falcons.

I thought OU would hang around and score a good bit about like Alabama did.  Hurts is way off his game, he needs to run more.

Burrow is scary good tonight, they could hang a hundred.    I don't know who else should have been 4th, maybe Memphis.
The surprise isn't that LSU is scoring, it's that OU isn't.  
Much like OU's defense improved this year from last, LSU's improved from the middle of the year to the end.

btw, 35 points doesn't necessarily win this game.  It should, but it probably won't.

Yeah no shit. Who is ref’ing this game? SEC refs?

I’ve never seen a no call PI that egregious in a big game oh...ever. Hadelwoods was basically tackled by the LSU CB.

And pretty sure this last play Marshall went out of bounds on his own wasn’t forced out. Should be an illegal touch.
My wife, word for word, said the same thing.


I told her ACC refs. Same difference. Southern Pride and all that. Also very convenient of ESecPN's committee to place LSU at #1 over OSU, so LSU could play in SEC country, rather than play the black hole in PHX.

The somehow missed PI call was as flagrant as they can possibly be.  And the missed the very obvious targeting call as well, the booth bailed them out.  I've also see egregious holding calls missed, not small ones, but grabbing jersey out in the open ones.

Much of the ACC is in the north, incidentally, but their refs are as bad as their teams.

Like what? The afterthoughts in Syracuse, Boston and Pittsburgh? It's a Southern league that decided to take in some misfits a few years ago.

Good leadership by LSU #18 to hold his teammates accountable by gathering them up and telling them to avoid ejection risk and stop getting baited into after-whistle shoving matching with the Sooners “because we need you next game.” Also tells you it’s not even half time and LSU is thinking about the next game, haha.

Running clock in the 2nd half?

I'd tell Burrow to not take a hit in the 2nd half
