I like the one vs Georgia in the SEC title game when he had ALL DAY to throw and hits Chase in the end zone. This was after he was directing the receivers like he was on the playground.

Tiger Voodoo - Apologies, I fat fingered and accidentally hit the down vote...and I don’t know how to change it. The sequence you walked us through was a big one!

My absolute favorite that made me shake my head was the 42 or so yd dart he threw to Jefferson against OU to go up 28-7. Rolling to his right, squared his shoulders, and dropped a perfect dime/laser at around the 2.


What's amazing - and will have us talking about these players and this season for the rest of our lives - is that there are at least 18 to 20 passes that are human highlight reel type stuff - either the small window, Burrow detaching from the pocket to make the play, etc.

However, my sentimental favorite from the season is the last TD of the first half against Bama. Sort of a dealer's choice after the turnover, a simple 13-yard pass from Joe to CEH a 1-play, 5 second drive to close out a scoring run of 17 points in the last 4:20 of the first half of that game. Wasn't a dazzling individual play, but those 17 points were a dazzling performance by the team. Stunning in hindsight. I mean, I joked about the offense being a "point a minute" kind of machine. We scored about 4 points per minute over the last 4 minutes of the first half against Bama.

Once we scored that touchdown, I knew no one would get even close to beating us the rest of the way, however much Bama tried to give me a heart attack in the second half of that game.

That’s scramble drill TD would have been one of the greatest plays of all time if it was in a one score game.


The crazy thing about it - that was the right defense against Burrow - but we out executed them and won the play, anyway. The spy waited way too long to force the issue.

Then they went away from it because almost 9 seconds was too long for Joe Burrow.

Mississippi State, 37 yard td to Dillon with 10:40 left in the 3rdQ.


This was the one I was going to say. That might have been the most perfect throw on the year. Just caught him in stride at the back of the endzone on an absolute piss rocket.

The back shoulder TD throw to Jefferson at UT was pretty good. I've watched that quite a few times.

NFL throw.

I’ve thought about this for a couple of days and while this TD wasn’t in as much of a clutch moment as others, it was as aesthetically pleasing as any all season.

I’m gonna go with the TD to Derrick Dillon in the back of the end zone against Mississippi State. Burrow avoided the rush, stepped up in the pocket, and delivered a beautiful touch pass over the top of the defense which landed in Dillon’s bread basket.

Terrace Marshall jump ball to seal the Natty was a better throw than most give Joe credit for. He put it in a perfect spot for TM6 to go get it.

Chase TD vs. Florida down the sideline.

Chase TD vs. Clemson to get us on the board.

One that was incredibly satisfying was the bomb to Chase to go up 21-0 on TA&m in the first quarter. After last year's game and all the bulls&*t it was a complete and utter beatdown in Death Valley to restore order to the rivalry.
