BATON ROUGE – For the second time this year, LSU quarterback Joe Burrow has been named to the Davey O’Brien “Great 8” list for his performance in the Tigers’ 36-16 win over second-ranked Georgia on Saturday in Tiger Stadium.
Burrow, a graduate transfer from The Plains, Ohio, connected on 15-of-30 passes for 200 yards and added 66 rushing yards and a pair of touchdowns in the victory over the Bulldogs. Burrow is now 6-1 as LSU’s starting quarterback with three of his victories coming against teams ranked in the Top 10.
Burrow joins Alan Risher as the only quarterbacks in school history to beat three Top 10 teams in the same season.
