The 40 best games in Tigers history, Part 1

We’ll conclude part one with an early 2019 thriller.

College GameDay was on the scene for LSU vs. Texas. The sport was coming around to the idea that Joe Burrow’s LSU might be a legit contender, but on this night, the Tigers cemented themselves as national title threats.

Burrow was flawless. He completed 79.5% of his passes for 471 yards and four touchdowns.

Late in the game, LSU needed a critical conversion on 3rd and 17. Burrow stepped up in the pocket to find WR Justin Jefferson for a touchdown. That play, as much as any, was Burrow’s Heisman moment.

Texas turned out to not be as good as everyone thought, but LSU took center stage in college football that night and didn’t let up the rest of the way.
