Here’s a take that’s actually worth listening to — it’s OK to think that Burrow will struggle in the opener, while also thinking he’ll turn out to be a pretty good quarterback.
This won’t be an ideal way for Burrow to kick things off at LSU. Someone who arrived on campus this summer will open his career as the only college game on national television against a defense that led all Power 5 teams in takeaways last year. There’s a reason we saw (Miami’s turnover chain) so much in 2017:
Miami returns 70 percent of its defensive production from its burst-onto-the-scene 2017 squad. That includes the likes of preseason All-American safety Jaquan Jackson, as well as a pair of preseason All-ACC picks in cornerback Michael Jackson and linebacker Shaquille Quarterman.

Every college football offseason, writers and pundits come up with “hot seat” lists. For multiple reasons, LSU coach Ed Orgeron gets mentioned as a coach who could feel his seat start to warm up either during the 2018 season or after. LSU faces an especially difficult schedule this fall with the regular SEC West slate plus a cross-division showdown with Georgia and Saturday’s neutral-site meeting with Miami.
Orgeron was asked about all the hot seat talk Wednesday during the SEC teleconference.
