Joe Burrow’s Two Heisman Seasons

Auburn defensive coordinator Kevin Steele didn’t think he would ever have to face this kind of LSU offense. When Steele was the defensive coordinator for LSU in 2015, the offense he saw in practice every day finished the season averaging an abysmal 53% completion rate with 180 yards per game on 23 pass attempts. This was the norm for the Tiger football team for decades. Even in a year, 2013, where quarterback Zach Mettenberger put up 10.4 yards per attempt to finish 3rd nationally in the category, the team still only threw 25 times a game.
