SI - Well, college football history is dotted with champions that won with outrageous talent and champions that won because of a collective belief that they would never lose.

Once in a while, you find a team with both qualities.

A team like Clemson.

Clemson had won 29 games in a row, and Burrow just eviscerated that team!

You gotta love the first paragraph....just so true!!!!

quote:
When it comes time to write the story of the 2019 college football season, we will not just start with Joe Burrow. We will ask Burrow to write it. He will be quick, he will be absurdly accurate, he will make sure a whole bunch of people get involved, he will explain what his coach actually said, and he will finish with a flourish.

This one too!

quote:
LSU is your national champion, the best team playing its best football at the best time, thanks mostly to the nation’s best player. Burrow was great when his team wasn’t, then great when it was. He ended the night with 31 completions (in 49 attempts), 463 yards, five touchdowns and one fat, lit stogie dangling from his mouth. His coach, Ed Orgeron, warned him, “Take it easy on that see-gar, boy,” as though Burrow might drop it and burn his leg off or something. The guy just spent four months setting college football on fire. He can handle one cigar.
