Like a phoenix from the ashes Joe Burrow has risen from the ground where the Florida Gators’ defense planted him a year ago and turned himself into a Heisman hopeful.
The Gators plan to end that hope Saturday in Baton Rouge.
LSU has played 12 games since they lost to Florida last season — a full season’s worth of games — going 10-2 in the process. Burrow has been great. Since a woeful two-interception performance in Gainesville the Ohio State transfer has completed 68% of his passes (279-409) for 3,835 yards (319.6 per game) with 33 touchdowns to just 7 interceptions.
