Quarterback Comparison: LSU vs. Florida

Saturday’s LSU Tigers vs. Florida Gators matchup will come down to quarterbacks. At least, that’s what many analysts have stated.

Let’s assume it does.

LSU’s Joe Burrow and Florida’s Feleipe Franks may look similar in some aspects on paper, but they’re two very different players. Here’s how the two stack up.

Joe Burrow

First Impression:

While it’s still early, Joe Burrow is quickly becoming the best starting quarterback the Tigers have had since Zach Mettenberger. Considering Mettenberger took a full year to settle into the LSU offense and begin playing well, we might even get ahead of ourselves and put Burrow ahead of the Butler Community College transfer.
