WATCH: Joe Burrow silences Texas crowd with incredible touchdown just before half
Joe Burrow had an interception in the first half against Texas, but his response has been impressive.
The LSU quarterback went 13-of-15 for 174 yards and 2 touchdowns after the pick.
But his best throw may have been a 21-yard touchdown pass to Justin Jefferson where Jefferson rose above the Texas defender in the middle of the end zone to come down with the grab. It gave the Tigers a 20-7 lead at halftime as it came with 47 seconds remaining.
To start the drive, the efficient Burrow had 1:13 to go 58 yards before halftime, but he pulled it off in 3 plays and 26 seconds.
Burrow at the half was 16-for-21 for 220 yards passing with 2 TDs and the interception.
