Is this where I post that we've completed passes to NINETEEN different players through 3 games?

And thirteen have caught at least 2 passes through 3 games.

TEs have caught 9 passes through 3 games, 10 if you count Carter.

And passing isn't just for moving the ball, it is about scoring - LSU has already thrown for 11 TDs (all Burrow). Counting CEH's halfback pass in 2018, that just 5 short of the entire 2018 season.

Let's go back to the last "great" LSU offense, 2013 - Mett and AJ combined for 23 TDs for the year. Yes, defenses are going to firm up, but it wouldn't be crazy to suggest that Joe, alone, gets to that number in October. Mett threw for 3k+ (good for third best), and Burrow is on pace for 4k. The start is so strong, it would almost be disappointing if Burrow doesn't crack Rohan's incredible 2001 season. He doesn't even need to average 250/gm the rest of the way to get there.

Now it is unlikely we will have 2 1k receivers, but Jefferson almost certainly gets there and Marshall and Chase should be over 500 and perhaps 1 of them breaks 750. Of course, throwing the ball to 19 or 20 people AND having a 1k and, perhaps 2 600-yd receivers is hella impressive for anybody, much less LSU.
