The legend of Joe Burrow just keeps on growing.
As if passing for 463 yards and five touchdowns plus a rushing score in the College Football Playoff championship game wasn’t enough to cement the LSU quarterback’s season as the best in college football history, the man himself has now confirmed that he was playing hurt for more than half the game.
Burrow said during an appearance on the “Pardon My Take” podcast that he suffered torn cartilage in his ribs after taking a big shot to the body from Clemson linebacker James Skalski in the second quarter.
