Who would have thought that blindside hit on Joe in the UCF game would unleash this monster. He is and will always be the GOAT.!!

Joey Connors of UCF is who blind-sided him.

The refs (erroneously) picked up the flag for that hit but enforced the flag on a moron taunting the horizontal Burrow after the play.

CSB. Soon as we won the National Championship, I had a Facebook Message ready to send to UCF's Joey Connors. I started typing it during a timeout just before we sealed the win.

When clock hit 00:00, outside the Superdome, I hit send with this picture and message thanking him...
"Thank you Joey Connors for waking the beast in Joe Burrow. It was at this singular moment in his career that Joe Burrow decided he was not going to lose another game while under center for LSU. You did this. And for that I sincerely thank you. Geaux Tigers!"

It was petty and childish but I was in my feelings and I never forgot how this image resonated with me and thousands of other Tiger Fans.
