LSU QB Joe Burrow goes from 200-1 long shot to Heisman co-favorite

LSU quarterback Joe Burrow has gone from a giant long shot to one of the favorites to win the Heisman Trophy.

Burrow and Oklahoma quarterback Jalen Hurts are co-favorites to win the Heisman, at 5-4, at Caesars Sportsbook.

Burrow, a senior in his second season as LSU's starter, was listed as long as 200-1 in the summer but has thrived in the Tigers' new spread attack. He has passed for 2,484 yards and 29 touchdowns, with only three interceptions, leading LSU to a 7-0 start.

Hurts, who transferred to Oklahoma from Alabama this offseason, has been just as prolific, accounting for 30 touchdowns (20 passing, 10 rushing) for the Sooners, who are unbeaten at 7-0.
