Saturday night, in front of a packed house, LSU stood blow for blow and shot down the Texas Longhorns 45-38.
This was a Big-12 game for all intents and purposes, with the Longhorn offense proving incredibly difficult for the Tigers to stop, save for a handful of big plays. But the Tigers — especially quarterback Joe Burrow — proved more than up to the task. LSU never blinked in this and answered every haymaker Texas brought through in the second half. And put the game away with a 61-yard touchdown strike on third-and-17.
This win was historic for a number of reason; first and foremost, because it was literally, the very first road win in program history against a top-10 out-of-conference opponent.
