Joe Burrow NCAA Records Set in 2019 Peach Bowl CFP Semifinal Are Ridiculous

To say LSU transfer senior quarterback Joe Burrow was flying under the radar to begin the season would be an understatement. Opening the year with +6000 odds to win his eventual 2019 Heisman Trophy, according to FanDuel Sportsbook, Burrow is now the odds-on favorite to be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Burrow has been both one of the biggest surprises and storylines of the 2019-20 college football season, and his legend only grew further in the 2019 Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl College Football Playoff Semifinal game against Ohio State on Saturday night.

LSU set multiple records in its victory.

Joe Burrow became the 1st player in FBS history to be responsible for 8 TD in bowl game.

When the dust settled nearly a full quarter after he was pulled from LSU's 63-28 blowout win over No. 4 Oklahoma, Burrow had set or tied 14 NCAA football records and helped LSU set or tie seven more records as a team.
