ATLANTA -- Forget about a Heisman jinx.
LSU quarterback Joe Burrow picked up where he left off against Oklahoma in the first half of Saturday's College Football Playoff semifinal at the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Burrow, who won the Heisman Trophy earlier this month in the most lopsided vote in history, threw seven more touchdowns in the first half, as the No. 1 Tigers opened up a 49-14 lead over the No. 4 Sooners at the half.
Burrow's seven touchdown passes were the most in a half of a bowl game by any player in FBS history and tied for the most in an entire bowl game (Central Michigan's Cooper Rush had seven against Western Kentucky in the 2014 Bahamas Bowl).
