His head coach wants him to. Several of his teammates do too. And there's thousands of fans in and around Baton Rouge that hope he does as well.
But LSU quarterback Joe Burrow won't slide. It's just not in him.
"I'm not a slider," Burrow told reporters after Saturday's 31-0 win over Southeastern Louisiana. "Definitely not a slider."
Like, not at all?
"Nah, I'm not going to slide," he replied.
Burrow said it's something he's been telling his teammates and coaches since he arrived on campus in June but they've gotten a first-hand look at his non-sliding techniques over the last two games.
