All of Burrow's throws and runs vs Auburn

Nice work

Burrows is the quarterback that will make big things happen! the best in the last 10 years!

Thank you!

I’m pretty sure that was the gameplan. Auburn’s secondary has made it a habit of grabbing all season, so Ensminger knew he could exploit that.

Yes. You see the DB mugging your receiver so you throw it over there.

Also Auburn’s secondary was grabbing all game.

It seemed like there was PI on just about every pass of ours. I still can't believe they didn't call that one in the end zone where the Aub DB was holding the receivers facemask.

A significant number of the incompletions were passes that JB put where only the LSU receiver could get to them, and were right on the edge of the receiver having a chance. Better to throw a pass where maybe an extraordinary play by the WR would have resulted in a completion and otherwise it's incomplete, than to throw closer into the coverage and risk a turnover. One of JB's more significant stats is 0 turnovers. He knows our WRs are capable of making great plays (the 71 yard TD, the catch on the sideline in the first half, the 1st down catch in the 4th quarter on the sideline), and he doesn't care about his stats if the throw on the edge of catchability happens not to be caught.

This +1 - I like where he put the incompletions (i.e. Auburn didn't drop any balls that should have been intercepted)

-3 balls batted by Auburn defenders behind line of scrimmage
-1 "pure" drop by LSU receivers, not a bad number
-Auburn DBs were definitely grabby, but also well above average in coverage

He has zero rapport with Giles. LSU is trying to get Giles the ball, but he and Burrow are out of sync.

I liked the RPO that he flipped out to Giles. I expect that to go for big yardage in the future.

The passing game worked out exactly as I thought it would. Auburn’s DBs play the man and not the ball, they also interfere a lot as I have stated in previous posts leading up to the game. Our WRs did an extremely good job of getting open and we owned the middle of the field against them. Those big DLinemen got worn out by game’s end and that last drive they were on their heels. Burrow is a very accurate passer and delivers when feeling the pressure. The guy is a gamer and seems to get better as the game gets grinds on. We need our WRs to continue to improve and minimize drops which I feel very confident in. Jefferson is a world beater, Chase has Sullivan are growing, and Anderson and Dillon are starting to hold on to the ball. I’ve been down on Dillon over the last two games but I’m glad he finally showed up when we needed him to, world class speed. The offensive line gets a freaking A+ for manhandling that blitz happy defense.

I don’t think we could have asked anything more from Burrow. He is much better than the stats indicate and he has been tested against two very stout defensive units. That’s something everyon should keep in perspective moving forward.
