re: sports illustrated article

From the SI article:

Burrow went to Ohio State instead, where he sat on the bench for three seasons. When he decided to transfer as a redshirt junior, Nebraska, mired in a dismal stretch, could have landed him again. The Cornhuskers passed. When asked about Burrow at the time, Nebraska coach Scott Frost said, “You think he’s better than what we got?”

Ummmm...let's see:

Nebraska finished 4-8 in 2018 and it's looking like 5-7 this year.

Fortunately for LSU, Scott Frost sucks at judging talent.
