Here are some of Burrow's most notable performances in college: LSU 45, Ole Miss 16 | Sept. 29, 2018 LSU got off to a 4-0 start in Burrow's first season in Baton Rouge but his completion percentage had been 50 percent or worse in three of the four games and he had thrown for less than 200 yards in three of those games. He had just three passing touchdowns through four games. Then Burrow and the Tigers played Ole Miss. He completed 18-of-25 passes (72 percent) for 292 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions, while rushing for 96 yards and a score, putting together the type of performance he'd have on a weekly basis during the following season. Texas A&M 74, LSU 72 (7OT) | Nov. 24, 2018 In an all-time game, Texas A&M and LSU combined for 146 points in a seven-overtime thriller. In a losing effort, Burrow completed 65.8 percent of his 38 pass attempts for 270 yards and three touchdowns, while also rushing for 100 yards and three scores on the ground. His previous career-high for total touchdowns responsible for in a game was four and he had six in this contest, which was obviously played under unique circumstances given the seven overtimes. LSU 40, UCF 32 | Jan. 1, 2019 LSU met previously undefeated UCF in the 2019 Fiesta Bowl, one season after the Knights had an undefeated season that was capped off with a bowl win over Auburn. After LSU fell behind 14-3, Burrow led three touchdown drives — each of which ended in a passing touchdown — in the span of 10 minutes of game time, and the Tigers ultimately won by eight. Burrow threw for 394 yards and four touchdowns in the win, both of which were career-highs at the time. LSU 45, Texas 38 | Sept. 7, 2019 In a top-10 matchup on the road, Burrow completed nearly 80 percent of his 39 attempts for 471 yards and four touchdowns, three of which went to Justin Jefferson. Texas' only lead was 10-7, as the Tigers consistently outpaced the Longhorns and scored 22 points in the fourth quarter to pull off the road victory. LSU 46, Alabama 41 | Nov. 9, 2019 LSU ended Alabama's eight-game winning streak in the series — LSU's last win was its infamous 9-6 overtime win in 2011 — with a five-point victory in Tuscaloosa, where Burrow completed 31-of-39 attempts for three touchdowns. The Tigers put together four scoring drives in the second quarter to take control of the game, and as a result, the SEC West. LSU 63, Oklahoma 28 | Dec. 28, 2019 Burrow was responsible for eight total touchdowns in a blowout victory over Oklahoma, as he threw for 493 yards and seven touchdowns, while running for another score. The Tigers led 49-14 at halftime, as Burrow connected with Justin Jefferson for four first-half touchdowns, and they could've scored even more points if they didn't take their foot off the gas. LSU 42, Clemson 25 | Jan. 13, 2020 Burrow led LSU to a 15-0 season and a national championship as he put together another stellar performance, completing 31-of-49 passes for 463 yards and five touchdowns, while rushing for another. Clemson took a 17-7 lead in the game's opening 20 minutes, but the Tigers rattled off 21 consecutive points and they outscored the Tigers 35-8 the rest of the way.
