With every silver lining, there comes a dark cloud. LSU’s offense had a national coming out party, with Burrow setting stadium records and three receivers topping 100 yards. On the other hand, the defense got lit up like Fremont Street in Las Vegas.
For two schools which spent the week arguing over the mantle of DBU, the big winner of that debate seems to be Ohio St. Or some other team that didn’t give up over 400 passing yards on the weekend. Sure, the other team is trying to win, but neither defense could buy a stop, and that turned out to be the biggest factor in the game.
