AUSTIN, Texas -- With No. 6 LSU holding a six-point lead at No. 9 Texas with about four minutes to go on Saturday night, LSU coach Ed Orgeron asked offensive coordinator Steve Ensminger if he wanted to go into four-minute offense to try to run out the clock.
"No," Ensminger told him. "We're going to pass the ball, go down there and score."
"Go ahead," Orgeron told him.
With the way LSU quarterback Joe Burrow was playing, it's hard to blame them.
Burrow, a senior, who transferred to LSU from Ohio State before the 2018 season, had the best game of his career in LSU's 45-38 victory at Darrell K Royal Stadium, completing 31 of 39 passes for 471 yards with four touchdowns and one interception.
