I got a chance to attend the LSU Spring Game 2019 and met 2003 Super Bowl Champion QB Brad Johnson and his family and son Max Johnson. Max is a quarterback in highschool as a junior and has commmitted to LSU, and part of the 2020 class. The kid has a amazing arm and can really sling the ball around. Coach O has hit a homerun recruiting Max Johnson.
Being in Dallas, Texas tonight getting ready for the Notre Dame and Clemson showdown tomorrow should be a good one. Clemson has been blowing out alot of teams this year and they have a stout defense. Notre Dame on the other hand started out the year beating Michigan, which Michigan was playing catchup the whole game. The Fighting Irish biggest win of the year was Michigan besides blowing out Syracuse who almost beat Clemson. The Orangemen knocked out the Clemson Tigers starting quarterback Trevor Lawrence and in comes Chase Brice to lead the charge and the Tigers won 27-23, a close call indeed.
The question is why is Clemson favored by Vegas by 2 touchdowns over the Fighting Irish. Interesting ! How does a 4 or 5 star college football athlete handle they are supposed to lose by 14 points even before the game is played. Amazing! Notre Dame hasn’t lost a game all year and probably the closes game was the Pittsburgh game and the Vanderbilt Game, interesting. The question that people are asking is Notre Dame suppose to be in the playoffs or was it suppose to be Ohio State who plastered Michigan 62-39, or the Georgia Bulldogs who had no.1 Alabama on the ropes 28-14 before giving up 3 touchdowns and making back up qb Jalen Hurts the star of the game as he scored the final touchdown. Well one things for sure we will all find out by tomorrow night who wins this game between Clemson vs Notre Dame. I think overall it will be a close game as we approach the 4th quarter, I think it will be close to the end and will be decided by a field goal.
As of right now LSU Tigers have played the toughest schedule in the country, especially in the top 10. Clemson and Notre Dame have not played too many top 25 teams, yes Notre Dame beat Michigan by 7 at home, but almost lost to Pittsburgh on the road, 19-14, the Irish all not too dominant. Ohio State did everyone a favor by losing to Purdue instead of getting blowed out in the playoffs. I think LSU Joe Burrow did a good service by going to LSU to start especially being a buckeye and losing to Purdue by 25 points. Joe Burrow is looking pretty good right now that’s for sure. If Joe Burrow has a break out game like he did against Georgia, when they play Alabama on Nov 3rd, where he rushed for 2 tds and had 96 rushing yards, LSU pulls the upset over Alabama even by a field goal.
It will be interesting when the Playoff Polls are revealed on October 30th, which is my birthday, it wouldn’t surprise me to see LSU at no.2 in the nation. If somehow, some miracle way they beat Alabama of course they will move LSU up at no.1 in the Nation. The playoff picture will look pretty interesting after that. If Alabama somehow loses to LSU come Nov 3rd who could they beat to surpass other teams to make it into the playoffs? Theres too many one loss teams that would be ahead of Alabama but that would be up the CFB Playoff Committee to decide. I think overall if Alabama does have one loss their schedule doesnt look too favorable, but that’s for the committee to decide.

BATON ROUGE – For the second time this year, LSU quarterback Joe Burrow has been named to the Davey O’Brien “Great 8” list for his performance in the Tigers’ 36-16 win over second-ranked Georgia on Saturday in Tiger Stadium.
Burrow, a graduate transfer from The Plains, Ohio, connected on 15-of-30 passes for 200 yards and added 66 rushing yards and a pair of touchdowns in the victory over the Bulldogs. Burrow is now 6-1 as LSU’s starting quarterback with three of his victories coming against teams ranked in the Top 10.
Burrow joins Alan Risher as the only quarterbacks in school history to beat three Top 10 teams in the same season. Risher did it in 1982 with victories over No. 4 Florida, No. 7 Florida State and No. 8 Alabama. Burrow’s win have come over No. 8 Miami, No. 7 Auburn and No. 2 Georgia.
Against Georgia, Burrow directed an LSU offense that racked up 36 points and 475 total yards against a Georgia defense that was allowing only 283 total yards and 13 points a game. The Tigers were a perfect 8-for-8 in the redzone and didn’t have a turnover against the Bulldogs.
Burrow completed passes to eight different receivers in the contest, including six to Justin Jefferson, who finished with a career-high 108 receiving yards.
As a unit, LSU was a perfect 4-of-4 on fourth down conversions with Burrow converting three of the four of quarterback sneaks. One of his fourth down conversions resulted in a touchdown and a 10-0 LSU lead in the first quarter.
For the year, Burrow has completed 104-of-195 passes for 1,415 yards, six touchdowns and only two interceptions. He’s also rushed for 242 yards and four touchdowns.
Burrow is joined on this week’s list of “Great 8” quarterbacks by Jarrett Guarantano of Tennessee, Utah’s Tyler Huntley, Jordan Love of Utah State, FIU’s James Morgan, Andre Nunez of Louisiana-Lafayette, Iowa State’s Brock Purdy and Nate Stanley of Iowa.
All FBS quarterbacks are eligible for the weekly honor. Thus far, 40 different signal callers have been named to the Great 8 in 2018. Love and Purdy are being honored for the second consecutive week, while Burrow was named for the second time in three weeks. Burrow first earned the award for his performance in the win over Ole Miss.
The winner of the Davey O’Brien National Quarterback of the Week Award, which will be one of the week’s Great 8 quarterbacks, will be announced Wednesday.

The Davey O’Brien Fan Vote, now in its 12th year, gives fans a chance to play a role in determining the award winner by voting daily at VoteOBrien.org.
Wow ! It’s sooooo amazing to here Alabama Fans talk and Paul Finebaum talk about Alabama Football Team. But I think they are about to meet their match when they come to Death Valley Nov .3rd for night game in Baton Rouge. I think Alabama schedule has been very weak just like Georgia and we saw what happen to Georgia on Saturday. The toughest games Alabama has played has been home games, if you want to call Texas AM tough..???? Bama is about to face LSU in 3 weeks maybe with one available quarterback. If Tua starts against LSU, the LSU Defense will get to him like they got to Fromm and they might knock him out for the whole season. The LSU Defense ain’t no joke at home. They are tough customers just go ask Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs.
Yes I am gonna repeat myself Alabama has not played anyone and the toughest game of their schedule will be LSU. Playing Tennessee,Arkansas, Citidel, Missouri,Louisiana La, and Ole Miss, are not tough games, any offense can put up a bunch of points against these teams. I don’t believe Alabama has played a rank opponent the whole season.Yes Alabama plays another tough team this week as they travel to Tennessee interesting Indeed.
LSU Tigers pounded the no.2 Georgia Bulldogs with a big game from Joe Burrow 2 rushing touchdowns and Cole Tracy with 5 field goals. It’s Mardi Gra feeling in Tiger Stadium after the big win. Amazing !
Smash City.
