Nice to see LSU win, if just because I enjoy seeing Auburn lose. We’ll see how Haskins looks against a legit good D tonight vs TCU, but I can see why he won the OSU job over Burrow. JB doesn’t have the same arm talent, at all. He’s good, though. I wish he was still at OSU.
Apples & oranges IMO. Burrow has no where near the offensive talent around him that Haskins has. I mean does any LSU skill player (WR, RB or TE) start for Ohio State?
Bottom line is that Burrow has directed his team to two wins over Top Ten teams in his first three games. This guy is still raw and I expect that next year he'll be one of the leading QB's in college football and a top draft pick (late 1st/early 2nd round).
Wow. I don’t know that I would ever question the talent at LSU. They pump out as many pros as anyone, but QB play has definitely held them back over the years. Burrow might just be the missing piece. This was a great win. The win over Miami? Ehhh, not sold on the Canes. Today was the real deal, though, for sure.
Haskins seems to be a pretty extraordinary passer. It's not exactly a big knock on Burrow to say he doesn't have the same arm
The biggest difference between OSU and LSU is the coaching. LSU's offense has been completely uninspired for years. Their wide receivers all have blazing speed, yet were unable to get separation all game. Burrow consistently had to throw it into airtight windows. That's a coaching issue.
Even under Miles it was this way. OBJ is a generational talent, and he had a total of 12 touchdowns in 40 games at LSU. It's only got worse under Ed Orgeron.
