It was never about beating out JT Barrett. Meyer is loyal to a fault and there was no way that was going to happen.

The competition was with Haskins. Burrow got hurt (a minor fracture) which allowed Haskins to take the back up role and gain experience including a second half performance that helped beat Michigan.

Burrow has a much better arm than Barrett. He's very smart and works hard. That's why so many in Columbus love the guy.

If Burrow were starting, the Buckeyes would still be a top five team in the pre-season rankings and predicted to win the conference. Many will pick them to be in the payoffs.

Yes, preseason rankings don't mean much but Burrow has that level of talent and LSU will be much better with him than without him.

So the second string (alternating) QB with 29 career completions and three weeks of live LSU practice will bring us to the promised land.

I hope we get Burrow, but my enthusiasm is tempered by the knowledge that EVERY year, during the months from February to July, the only thing standing between LSU and the national championship is the decision to use someone as starting QB who was not our projected starter.
In 2018, that person was, variously, either Narcisse or McMillian. Now it is Burrow (a/k/a "Burreaux")

Don’t worry. Even if the kid came to LSU and started, after the first turnover the mass idiots will be hollering for the back up to play for the rest of the season.



Don't you know it. LOL
