Joe Burrow sets LSU's single-season touchdown passing mark

It took only seven games for LSU quarterback Joe Burrow to break the school's record for passing touchdowns in a single season on Saturday at Mississippi State.

Burrow threw his record-setting 29th passing touchdown of the season during the second half which put the No. 2-ranked Tigers well ahead of the Bulldogs, 36-7.

Matt Mauk set the previous record of 28 in 2003. JaMarcus Russell then tied it in 2006.

Burrow, a senior, transferred to LSU from Ohio State last season.

He and new passing game coordinator Joe Brady have helped lead an offensive transformation in Baton Rouge this season which has seen LSU rise all the way No.
