When was the last time the starting quarterback was truly the face of LSU’s program. That’ll happen in 2019. It’s Burrow’s team.

His bowl performance sealed the deal. Not only was it his best overall game statistically, he also won everyone over by his response to that harsh blindside, crack-block he took on his interception.

That toughness combined with his maturity and timely sense of trash talk has ascended him to the most respected player in that locker room. If 2019 is as special as everyone hopes it will be, Burrow will be front and center leading the charge.
