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.
