#28 Major Burns game-saving tackle mid-way in the second quarter. #28 MAJOR BURNS

Tracked down the bama receiver when they converted on 3-11 with about 8:30 left in 2nd quarter. Sprinted down the field to catch up with receiver, made the tackle, and bama had to settle for a field goal instead of touchdown. Did not give up! Geaux Tigers!

Major Burns is an absolute dog

It was great that he did not give up on the play. It was on him. I was surprised he tracked him down. He has some giddy up.

Have to be honest. Between what I saw last year and early this year I did not think he was an SEC quality starting Satefy. Proven wrong!!! Congrats to Burns!!!

Kelly said in his post game he better have since he’s the one who fricked up the play to begin with

If you watch the game you can see the real value of Burns. He was making all the DB calls and getting everyone lined up. There may have been plays that DBs got "burned", but I didn't see any blown assignments and that's why LSU didn't fall behind early. Young was struggling to find open receivers and that was partly due to Burns' effect on the DB group.

Honestly I was surprised he chased him down considering the recent injury.
Assumed that would have cost him some speed, but hopefully that means he's truly back to full health.
On another note: cowboy collar is a weird look for a safety. hope it's only temporary

That was the play of the game not a scoring play. It told Bama that we had the speed and athletes to play with them. Plus saved 4 points in a close game. Props to Burns, dude has NFL speed and heart.

Speed aside, he took a great angle which allowed him to close on the Bama player.

yeah - that was amazing to watch - never thought he'd catch up.

EXACTLY!
Good job by not giving up on the play and extending great effort to run down the back. But as Kelly said IMMEDIATELY when asked about the play, it was Burns's fault the guy was running so wide open in the first place

He said he was supposed to have him inside out leverage and he let him get inside on him. I watched it on the dvr replay and all it took was one wrong step and he was beat.

Yeah. He caused it cuz he got Burned in a Major way lol. But he didn’t quit. Which has been a staple of this short Brian Kelly era so far.

Burns showed so much heart doing that especially when giving up on plays is becoming common. Great play by a great kid and I don’t give a chit if he initially got burned. If his effort is indicative of a Kelly coached team, we are in great hands. We need kids like Major to return to prominence.

I have to give a big shout out to the defensive coaches, the communication is night and day between the players with this staff versus previous ones. Burns gave up inside leverage on that play but his effort was all you can ask for.
Posted on 11/8/22 at 8:11 am to Ranter
Well it was his fault to begin with. Not sure why we are praising an F up
Foucha is better.

That’s all it takes at this level.

Not in pass protection, and not in organizing the rest of the secondary. That great pick vs OM aside, he’s been beat more than Burns has.
