Joe Burrow throws for 403 yards, 7 touchdowns in 1st half of Peach Bowl

The Heisman Trophy winner is living up to the hype in the College Football Playoff.

LSU quarterback Joe Burrow is torching the Oklahoma defense in the first half of Saturday’s Peach Bowl semifinal, tossing seven touchdown passes, four of them to Justin Jefferson.

Burrow now has a whopping 55 touchdown passes this season, all while setting an FBS record for completion percentage and only throwing six interceptions. His incredible run is continuing against what was touted as a much-improved Sooners defense.

Burrow has 403 passing yards through two quarters, completing 21 of 27 passes with no interceptions.

There’s technically still time for Oklahoma to make a comeback, but unless Burrow switches teams for the second half, it looks like the Bayou Bengals will be waltzing into the national title game.
