Joe Burrow’s historic season continues as QB sets another LSU record in Utah State game
Published:
No surprise from Baton Rouge but Joe Burrow is having himself a day against Utah State.
Joe Burrow is already up to five touchdown passes in the game and has thrown for 344 yards against the Aggies. Why is that last number significant? Burrow entered the contest having thrown for 300 or more yards in three consecutive games.
No player in LSU history had ever thrown for 300 or more yards in four consecutive games until today.
Burrow also now has 21 passing touchdowns on the season, which is only seven away from the all-time single-season mark in school history. The previous LSU QB to throw for 20 touchdowns in a season came back in 2013 when Zach Mettenberger finished the season with 22 TDs and 3,082 passing yards.
Early in the fourth quarter, LSU is up 42-6 on Utah State as the Tigers look to advance to 5-0 on the season.
