I’m was just flat out impressed with Burrow’s accuracy all over the field. I think that’s something you can’t teach, and I bet Sean Payton wishes he could draft him to plug in after Brees.

Burrow is impressive. I'm sure most NFL teams would love to draft him as the heir apparent. But I think Teddy Bridgewater has a chance to be pretty special if he stays healthy.

2001 - Miami beat 5 top 15 teams, their closest game was VA Tech in Big East Championship (2 point win). They gave up 20+ points only 3 times that season, Pitt (21) FSU (27) VA Tech (24) Finished 3rd in scoring offense (42.7 a game) and 1st in scoring defense (9.8 a game)



2018 - Clemson is another team to talk about, played and beat 4 top 20 teams finished 15-0 with the 4th ranked scoring offense (44.3 a game) and 1st in scoring defense (13.1 a game)
2009 - Alabama is worth talking about, played and beat 6 top 25 teams (4 top 10) finished 15-0 with the 22nd rated scoring offense (32.1 a game) and the 2nd scoring defense (11.7 a game) no team scored more than 24 on them and only 4 teams scored 20 or more against them. Closes game 12-10 against Tennessee. Also Saban's only undefeated season there.


Guess if we're talking best ever I'd find it very hard not to pick Miami...They'd be able to score on LSU, but I don't think LSU would be able to hang 40+ on them. Not with a secondary that consisted of Ed Reed, Phillip Buchanon, Antrel Rolle, Michael Rumph, Sean Taylor, James Lewis.

Maybe so. Impossible to really know with QBs. I think Brady is getting a little too much love tbh. Not that he doesn’t deserve credit but now it’s obvious burrow was a late bloomer and a generational QB. They have a lot of air raid concepts so maybe that’s why.

I hope he is successful. I just have doubts on a QB that done this for one year only. Will be rooting for him.

Taylor would break all of LSU’s receivers in half

Real talk, you know what I don't understand and why I personally give Brady more credit than Burrow for the offensive success of LSU this season. He turned the WR group ELITE in a single off-season.

Brady is the Passing Game Coordinator & WR coach.

LSU WRs in 2019 - 283 receptions, 4653 yards, 56 TDs
LSU WRs in 2018 - 171 receptions, 2469 yards, 15 TDs

They went to more of a air raid passing tree with leach/Riley style route concepts and their biggest move was moving Jefferson to the slot this year full time.Kinda like Jennings he can’t separate all that well so this year he never got jammed really and He was probably the best Slot wr in the country. They also cut down his route depth big time Bc they were just dragging him across the field. But not to Diminish Their coaches role in that, it obviously fit better and allowed their great athletes to not face press coverage more and get a lot of easy catches and work after the catch. Alabama should’ve been doing the same thing but instead they want to run every route 20 yards downfield and go bombs away. When you pair that with a generation QB that has elite accuracy and touch it blows up.

His play style reminds me of Tom Brady. Elite accuracy on short to intermediate routes and really fast decision making and reading coverages. Not even mentioning he can extend plays with his feet. That’s why i think he is pretty much bust proof in a Sense. He’s at least going to be able to move the chains and get the ball out quick.

But but 80 Freshman and Sophomores.... year 0... everyone hates us...

His antics have run their course. I can’t listen to him. He’s phony as hell. With that being said, I fully expect him to take the Bama job. All this complaining about “hope we have a chance” and “poor little Clemson” is a mental thing. He is insecure. Dude obviously cares what people are saying. Go to Bama where everyone crowns you the champions before the season starts each year.

Plus he's going to be drafted to a terrible team, ask Andrew Luck how well that helps a NFL career.

What worries me most about Burrow is actually that he was in college for 5 years BEFORE we saw this. Confused why he couldn't beat out J.T. Barrett at OSU. I'm not sure I'd call him "generational" as a QB though, to me those guys are the 3 or 4 year guys that do it every season.

I think when Brady came to LSU and saw the speed/talent in the skilled position he said "there's not a team in college that can cover four or five guys running routes" and he was not wrong, LSU already had the NFL caliber OL too, based on how many RBs they've put into the NFL that wasn't a concern.


Burrow's 527 attempts is also staggering, despite blowing teams out he rarely left the field. That's 120 more attempts than Lawrence and 173 more than Fields had this season. 172 more than Tua and 150 more than Murray last year. Very similar to the output of Leach QBs (Gordon-689, Minshew-662, Falk-534, etc.)


I'm pulling for Joe to have a good/great NFL career...I just worry if he's Graham Harrell but played in the SEC for a season.

Now that this year has ended in total and looking at some of the best teams and stories from this year... i think building and maintaining a culture/locker room is most important trait for a head coach. Ed Orgeron was horrible as a Hc before, but damn he’s got the entire state hanging on every word of his and team will go full kamikaze mode for him. Same thing for Dabo, I don’t think he’s some schematic genius but he demands a certain culture, and his players eat it up. Hell even PJ Fleck, Minnesota had no business winning 10 games and beating Auburn, Penn state, almost beating Wisconsin etc. but his players love him and would run through a wall for him.

The energy/culture inside & around our program got so bad at the end of butch and the Botched search that it was like an anchor (literally & figuratively Bc of losses to vandy) weighing us down. I mean we were literally having discussions if our roster was worse than Vanderbilt or if our OL was better than Charlotte. It took longer than we wanted and it wasn’t always pretty by any means... and quite frankly i have no Fn idea how we won some games like Indiana, Kentucky, miss state lol.... but i give Pruitt and Fulmer major major props for finding a way to power wash all that filth off this program and now have us looking like we belong again. Hopefully our fan base and players rally around them just like those other teams have done.

No spoilers for the game, I have it on DVR.

Watched The Bachelor instead, let's hold off spoiling until Friday or so? I am hoping to catch-up on football by then.

I promise not to spoil it for you if you promise not to spoil the suspense of The Bachelor for me. That's high on my to do list. Plan on watching that episode the day after hell freezes over.
