Could Joe Burrow Have Done THAT at Nebraska? Could He Do It In The NFL?

It was a great night for some legacy Huskers as Joe Burrow and his LSU Tigers finished an impressive 15-0 season by demolishing Clemson in the National Championship football game. And, once again, the second guessing of Nebraska’s pursuit of Burrow reached frantic levels.

You think Joe Burrow would have ever had any interest in playing for Nebraska?— Kevin Kugler (@kevinkugler) January 14, 2020It would have been a great story; the four-star son and brother of former players leading Nebraska to greatness. But would it have been the same greatness that we saw in New Orleans?

Probably not.

Burrow had an amazing, record setting senior season at LSU, but let’s be honest.  NOBODY saw this coming. Burrow was kind of buried on the depth chart at Ohio State, losing out on the starting job in 2018 to Dwayne Haskins.  So he looked elsewhere, and wound up at LSU.  He had a good, but not exactly great junior season:

57.8% completion percentage, 2,894 yards, 16 touchdown passes, five interceptions, 399 yards rushing, 7 rushing touchdowns.
