As a lifelong LSU fan and current student, this season was by far the most fun I’ve had watching football. Joe had many doubters last year, but I knew he had this fire and tenacity inside of him that would show itself after some time with the guys in the offseason. It was very apparent after the bowl game against UCF. It was a dream come true for us to not only have the Heisman winner, but also a national championship while I was enrolled. Great analysis as always!

[@UFalum2011]

Mason Whatley that’s awesome man. Congrats! I know exactly how you feel, as I was a sophomore at Florida in 2008 when we won it all. The feeling and emotions are indescribable. Soak it all up! You will remember this forever.

[@Charm804]

I heard Coach O say in an interview that Joe Burrow is the smartest guy in most rooms he's in, and that shows on the field: he always knows what's happening around him, and that gives him a just unfair advantage in college and it's gonna make his transition to the NFL a lot easier- he's just really smart when it comes to football

[@danielminton3876]

Joe Burrow makes the game around him look like it's going slowly like the game is easy for him against the #1 defense in college football that's a sign of a great player.

[@THEInfamousRAY]

@@errolduplessis9451 no team in the AP era has ever knocked off 7 teams ranked in the top 10 at the time they played them, only team is LSU. Also, no team has has beat all 4 of the preseason picks to win the National Championship. Based on this LSU's resume, they are the best college football team ever. And based on how this LSU's team beat everyone, it's not even close!

[@danieldelarosa4252]

Personally idk what you’re talking ab with arm strength, he’s dropping dimes with fifty and sixty yards, idk what else the man could do

[@colinbarlow6662]

Daniel DeLarosa usually when someone talks about QB arm strength, I feel like I have to go watch and judge for myself. Example with Jake Fromm. People say he doesn’t have a strong arm. But I consider it strong if he hits 50 yard passes perfectly.

[@danieldelarosa4252]

Colin Barlow exactly, i think people are biased on what they see most, so with Fromm for example, he does tend to throw shorter to mid range passes so I could see why people don’t think he can do it despite him having games where he’s thrown deep well, but with burrow he throws deep like 10 times a game and hits almost every one of them so idk what zac is talking ab with this take

[@fredder100]

@@danieldelarosa4252 He said before that he doesn't have an issue with Burrow's arm strength. In this case he was talking about a "perfect" prospect. The fact is Burrow doesn't have the strongest arm ever so yeah it could be better. That's not the same as saying it's an issue. Also throwing accurate deep passes is not the same as having arm strength. Most QBs can throw that far. It's more apparent when fitting in windows in the short or intermediate throws. Burrow's arm strength is not an issue but there's no arguing that a guy like Carson Wentz has more velocity on his throws. I think you two missed what he meant.

[@Jonathanaymond]

[@gnomatic837]

This LSU team is getting lots of love as possibly the GOAT, and its well deserved. Certainly in the conversation given what they accomplished. That said, I'm going to play devil's advocate here: 1995 Nebraska is the best and most dominant team I've ever seen. They trailed twice all season and had every game in hand by halftime. They averaged 400ypg. Rushing. Average margin of victory was 38+ppg, and lowest margin of victory 14points for one game after giving up a couple garbage time touchdowns. They beat four teams ranked in the top 10 during the season, and four of their opponents finished the season in the top 10. Three of them had commanding victories in their bowl games. The fourth was Nebraska's championship opponent, a very good and undefeated Florida team, that up to that point, won every game prior by double digits. Nebraska absolutely annihilated, rushing for over 500yrds with a 62-24 final score. Welcome to the club, 2019 LSU!

[@danielminton3876]

Trevor Lawrence is not the next Andrew Luck or Peyton Manning like some fans claim, he's closer to Matthew Stafford or Josh Allen 2.0, he's got elite arm strength and athletic ability but his footwork, accuracy, and post snap ability to read defenses is not nowhere near the same level of guys like Luck, Manning, Aaron Rodgers or Joe Burrow's was in college.

[@astrothunder3580]

Finally a Trevor Lawrence take I can agree with. Burrow's touch, accuracy, reads, confidence, and preparation were impeccable. Yet people still give Trevor the huge edge because he's taller and has better arm strength. Burrow feels like the more special player to me

[@danielminton3876]

[@danielminton3876]

@@astrothunder3580 people overreacted after the game against Alabama last season. He had good stats in that game but if you watch the throws he wasn't very accurate, TL just had receivers that were much better than all of Alabama's corners except Surtain and they never really threw the ball towards Surtains side of the field like they did to Stingly. The difference was LSU had other good corners opposite Stingly that could matchup with Clemson's receivers. Plus Tua's play made TL look better than he actually was, Tua has great accuracy but he pre-determines who he's throwing the ball to a lot and Venabels gave Tua looks that fooled him into bad throws. Venabels couldn't do that to Burrow he doesn't pre-determine where he's throwing the ball much. So people overreacted to him beating an Alabama team that really did not have anywhere near as good of defense as any Nick Saban team prior to that year, they lost most of their experience to the NFL and also were young injury riddled on top of that. I don't see him having a good game at all against a 2012 Alabama or LSU defense because those 2 defenses that year were scary good.

[@EulogyfortheAngels]

@@danielminton3876 Nice analysis. A lot of fans shriek about how Clemson last year beat “the best Bama ever”, and I just cringe because it was nonsense. Their secondary was protected most of the season by opposing schemes that couldn’t expose them - it wasn’t until OU that we really saw how average Bama’s corners were.

[@rocksjoshua]

Joe Burrow is a beast, I think a lot of people put his success on Joe Brady, but week in and week out we see Burrow making NFL level throws. He makes the right reeds, he accurately puts the ball in tight coverage. He is a great QB.

[@debbieverret4033]

Beast is an excellent observation, Joe Burrow has said it himself, if the DB's SS's and the CB's aren't looking then that's where I'm throwing he proved that point over and over, who paid attention to that? Who looked at film or listened to what he said? Oklahoma was the worst shellacking I've ever seen in a college football game, no way they looked at or study film.....Just my opinion from an LSU fan....and if you're a Gator fan, that young man Trask is going to be a killer QB.

osu was a joke. if they went 4-4 in red zone those 2 calls don't even matter. also they were the correct calls. that was a drop. and that was targeting.

Aaron Humphrey he’s a really good QB, but because of the teams they play more often, he doesn’t get the training he needs like Joe Burrow, who got equal, possibly better coaching and MUCH better teams to improve against. Trevor is only a Sophomore, don’t take him for granted. I’m glad my LSU Tigers won the Natty, we had the best quarterback in the country, and our best Quarterback ever, but Trevor Lawrence is still a nightmare for anyone to play, and he’ll find a way to improve his accuracy over the next 2-3 years.

[@matts.441]

Playcalling has been awful the past 3 years in Clemson. The CoOCs dont attack the entire field and everyone played Clemson the same. LSU and Ohio St have enough depth and talent to stop the vertical offense. Trevor really wasn't under pressure that badly against LSU, his wrs were locked up though.
