The LSU Tigers went into Tuscaloosa on Saturday afternoon and picked up a huge 46-41 victory over the Alabama Crimson Tide.
QB Joe Burrow had a great game, throwing for 393 yards, 3 touchdowns and 0 interceptions. It was a dominant performance, and one that may launch Burrow all the way to the Heisman.
However, after the game, Alabama DB Xavier McKinney said he didn’t think Burrow was the best quarterback he has faced. Instead, he said the guy he goes against in practice every day — Crimson Tide star Tua Tagovailoa — is the best:
Xavier McKinney was asked if LSU's Joe Burrow is the best QB he's faced during his time at #Alabama: "No. I think Tua's the best quarterback that I've faced."

Tagovailoa had a big game on Saturday too, throwing for 418 yards, 4 touchdowns and 1 pick.
Either way, you can’t go wrong, but we’ll see who gets the nod for the Heisman at the end of the year.
