Kyler Murray Says LSU's Joe Burrow Is Heisman Trophy Favorite

Game recognize game.

Reigning Heisman Trophy winner Kyler Murray has tapped LSU quarterback Joe Burrow as the 2019 Heisman favorite.

"Our guy (Oklahoma quarterback Jalen Hurts) kind of took a hit with that loss," the Arizona Cardinals quarterback and former Oklahoma quarterback told ESPN's Josh Weinfuss. "I think right now, if somebody had to win, it'd probably be Joe Burrow."

Murray tossed for 42 touchdowns opposite just seven interceptions as a junior at OU last year. He added 1,001 yards and 12 touchdowns as a rusher. His breakout campaign led to the Cardinals selecting him with the top overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft.
