LSU Football: How basketball is responsible for Joe Burrow ending up in Baton Rouge

Urban Meyer coached Joe Burrow for three seasons at Ohio State before the transcendent quarterback transferred to LSU in 2018.

Burrow went on to have one of the best seasons ever by a college football player in 2019, throwing for 5,671 yards and 60 touchdowns.

The success of Burrow in Baton Rouge has often led folks to wonder why things didn’t work out at Ohio State.

Meyer, like him or not, knows how to evaluate talent.
