Joe Brady has to be bucking for a promotion methinks. Burrow was basically an afterthought at OSU and Brady made him the best QB in all of CFB at LSU.
LSU is going to have to make him co-OC or something like that soon, otherwise he'll grab another prime gig (maybe even in the NFL).
Burrow was way more than an afterthought at Ohio State. Not sure where this narrative comes from?
he went into the close battle with Haskins to be #2, and was winning that battle until he broke his hand. That gave the role to Haskins, who promptly came into the road game AT Michigan and brought OSU a come from behind win on
the biggest stage. For 2018- both were given an equal shot in the spring, and by all accounts it was a real battle with no clear winner.
Meyer didn’t conclude a starter for fall- and Burrow- smartly- did not want to risk it so he shopped himself in the portal. OSU did NOT want him to leave- but once he made his mind up- they made sure to not stand in his way.
meanwhile- Haskins Threw 50 td passes in his rookie, and only season as a starter. 50.
Burrow got a full year of starting in 18, and had an OK season, while Haskins was doing that/ breaking nearly every big ten and OSU passing record.
Then 2019 happened and that’s in the history books now.
