Yes. Joe Burrow his final year with LSU is the best college football player I have seen.

I'd say Herschel Walker may have been the best that I've seen. Burrow had one great year; but Herschel had 3.

In college for the University of Georgia from 1980-1982, Herschel Walker's stats include 5,259 rushing yards, 1,616 (freshman), 1,891 (sophomore), and 1,752 (junior), along with 55 total touchdowns over 33 games. He was a three-time consensus All-American, won the 1982 Heisman Trophy, and led Georgia to a national title and three consecutive conference championships.

It wasn't necessarily a pretty win and/or a dominating win; but Texas was ranked #1 and we won!!!

The last one they lost was to Cryami in 1999.

Texas was #1 because Manning was so wonderful and Sayin not. That game unfolded differently and part of that is the playcalling was designed to protect the quarterback and build his confidence. Great coaching decisions by the team headed by the quarterback whisperer.

And we all know what the best thing about being 1-0 is too.

In fairness we had a special team's ace at qb

Yep. One of the few times I agreed with Day’s uber conservative approach on offense. Between the generally crappy starting field position on most offensive series and Arch throwing anywhere and everywhere but to his receivers while on defense, there was no need to be cute. 14-0 felt like a massive lead.

Shit Bellisari wasn't even the QB - it was Austin Moherman.

And he actually led WSU to the PAC championship that year and beat the USC team that Herbstreit thought OSU should have had to play after beating da U to prove that they were really the champions.

I had forgotten his name until reading that, but I remember when it was said, after a pass attempt, that he complained to the ref that he was punched in the mouth by a Buckeyes rusher, no flag. The ref was said to have replied. "That's football, son." Don't know how much of that is true.

Anyways, Guessar and the Cougs were also shutout for 3 quarters. Uncanny similarity there. Bad omen for Arch, lol.

Don't let it be lost, the crowd was also incredible today.
