Scramble, 71-yard pass in SEC Championship Game might've been the play of Joe Burrow's career
Joe Burrow started off in Columbus, Ohio with the Buckeyes. Burrow played a bit with the scarlet and gray, but never had highlight reels made of him in those colors.
There will — and already have been — highlight reels made of him in LSU Tiger colors. This season, Burrow has been absurdly effective. So effective that he is the odds-on favorite to win the Heisman Trophy.
On Saturday, against Georgia in the SEC Championship Game, Burrow likely solidified his incoming award.

RELATED: Joe Burrow catching his own pass in the SEC Championship Game is now his Heisman moment
We thought that Burrow catching his own pass and running for a first down was his Heisman moment. Well, so much for that.
In the third quarter, Burrow scrambled away from pressure and tossed a bomb down the field that left everybody who saw it talking. Here’s the play:

Burrow is absurd. And this SEC Championship Game just proves it.
