63-28…It seems more fitting for an early-season game against an inferior opponent. But this wasn’t an inferior opponent, this was the #4 team in the country, and one of the 2019 college football playoff teams.
LSU was facing a Heisman runner up and national champion in Jalen Hurts and they had to endure not being distracted during a tragic loss of one of their very own.
But even as news broke about the death of Louisiana reporter Carley Mccord, LSU endured. Not only did they endure, but they put one of the most dominant performances in college football history. 7 touchdowns in the FIRST half alone put the game way out of reach for Oklahoma. The final score of 63-28 wasn’t even that close. LSU could have scored 80 points if they really wanted to. It was just that easy for Burrow and the LSU offense.
Just to show you how dominant the Tigers were, here is a full list of all the records they broke during the college football playoff against Oklahoma.
