Heisman half? Joe Burrow's incredible start against Alabama has social media buzzing
It might not be No. 1 vs. No. 2 in the eyes of the College Football Playoff selection committee, but LSU at Alabama is the biggest college football game of Week 11 (and arguably the season) and CFB fans everywhere are watching the showdown in T-town.
LSU’s star QB Joe Burrow showed up big time for the top-5 clash between SEC West rivals. All season, Burrow has posted a sensational 78.8 completion percentage. In the first two quarters on Saturday, he has managed to boost that number, going 18-of-20 for 252 yards and 3 touchdowns, leading LSU to a 33-13 advantage at the break.
Not surprisingly, Burrow has social media buzzing. If Burrow ends up hoisting the Heisman Trophy next month in New York, we’ll likely be talking about Nov. 9 in Tuscaloosa.
Here’s a small sample of what football fans are saying on social media:
Joe Burrow is gonna win the Heisman.

That pass at the goal line being called a catch has completely changed the game… That was crazy… That was clearly illegal touching.
First of all, NO. He re-established himself in the field of play. Secondly, it wouldnāt have mattered anyway. Because, I believe that if they looked closer, theyād see that the defender touched the ball first, by a fingertip. If the defender touches the ball FIRST, it doesnāt matter if the WR went out of bounds or not. IF HE DIDNāT re-establish himself (which he DID), then he can still catch a tipped pass. And Iād say that the INT just before the half was a bigger stunning moment than anything. Lot of football left. So, weāll have to see how it plays out. But LSUās special teams have essentially given up 8 points that could come back to haunt them. So, Iām not gonna count anything out just yet. Hopefully, my Tigers keep the pedal to the metal & come away with the W.
Defender never touched the ball and he stepped out of bounds on his own… Re-establishing yourself in bounds is when forced out…
The replay official said he was pushed out of bounds and that clearly didnāt happen.
Hahhaha Now its y’all. It was all good when it was the Jawja Florida game. Too funny
Who said it was all good? Iām not sure what the UGA Florida game has to do with the call on that catch…
Did not see this halftime score coming, but Iāll take it!
This is as good as it gets for this point in this game. Lots of people on this site are preparing to eat some serious crow, or just disappear. Hopefully, LSU can keep this up.
I was pulling for Bama because I donāt want to play LSU lol
