i've been posting stats showing that when ens is actually trying, lsu's passing stats are not unacceptable. the problem with the overall numbers is that they include 6 quarters of football where lsu had a large lead and dialed back the offense. burrow is among the national leaders in yards per completion.

even more interesting, it's not like teams are loading up the box to stop the run. lsu is staying mostly in pass protection and only sending 2 or 3 receivers out against sometimes as many as 7 defenders in pass coverage. yet, burrow is still hitting 50% of his passes 10+ yards.
