2020 Gumbo Final - Book - Page 31
Joe Burrow
Can’t Be Stopped
oe Burrow threw for his sixth touchdown against
Vanderbilt in LSU’s SEC opener Saturday morning,
breaking the Tiger’s single game record also held
by Burrow.
With 9:30 to go in the third quarter, Burrow threw
a fade to Ja’Marr Chase for his sixth touchdown,
extending LSU’s lead to 52-24.
Burrow’s profile has risen to the national level after
LSU remade its offensive staff by hiring Joe Brady,
former New Orleans Saints offensive assistant.
With a new offense, Burrow has lead the Tigers to
a top 4 ranking in the AP Poll and earned himself
Heisman consideration along the way.
In 2013, EA decided to give A.J. McCarron a 97
OVR. Joe deserves at least this much. Since
transferring from Ohio State two years ago, the
QB1 for the Fighting Tigers has shown nothing if
not his toughness. His game has improved nearly
every week, slotting his accuracy somewhere
in the 80s to go along with his big arm. While
maybe not the most athletic or most complete
quarterback, QB#9’s spirit makes him the perfect
leader for this team.
