Heisman Trophy winner Joe Burrow broke or tied numerous college football and bowl game records Saturday, while leading his LSU Tigers to an easy win over Oklahoma in the College Football Playoff semifinal.
Athens High School graduate Burrow did the vast majority of his damage – including seven touchdown passes and one rushing TD – in the first half of the Peach Bowl in Atlanta. Throwing for 493 total yards (and 403 in the first half), Burrow sat out much of the second half after the game was clearly in the bag. LSU won 63-28.
