LSU Tigers came out explosive on offense as they lit up the Hurricanes in the first half of the game. LSU always plays good in Jerry’s World in Arlington,Texas. I remember watching LSU play Oregon in 2011 in the first game of the season as LSU whipped the Ducks 34-13, a embarrassing loss for Chip Kelly and the PAC 12. LSU already knew QB Joe Burrows was gonna have a big game the way he commands the huddle and called different audibles even at the line of scrimmage. Midway thru the first half Miami was sending a safety blitz on the right side, so Joe Burrows changes the play at the line of scrimmage and calls a running play to the left side as he hands the ball off to Nick Brossette and opens up a whole with the size of a dump truck, Nick runs up the middle untouched 50 yards for a touchdown. Amazing Burrows has only been here for 2 months and already making improvements on the offense. Amazing how Nick Brossette has waited behind Leonard Fournette, and Darius Guise and he gets his chance to show his skills on the big stage in Jerry;s World. Simply Amazing !
The LSU Defense really stood out especially in the 1st half, Miami march down the field a few times, settle for a field goal by Baxa, and then Miami had a chance to take the lead but Baxa hooked the kick as it sailed left. Funny how LSU was driving again, and Burrow throws a long pass to Wr Chase by the goal line as he makes the-catch, it looked like he scored as he knocked down the goal line cone for the endxone but the refs rulled him out at the 1 yard line without checking the replay. I do believe it was a touchdown. It’s okay because the next play LSU qb Burrow hands the ball off to Brosette and he scores again on the left side, there was like no Miami defenders there to stop him as he walks into the endzone, Amazing indeed, LSU was up 17-3. Soon there after as the LSU defense stopped Miami qb Rozier III and co again LSU gets the ball back and sets up another field goal for LSU kicker Cole Tracy, so LSU IS UP 20-3. By this time the LSU kicker Tracy has scored more pts than the Miami offense 8-3. Before everything gets crazy Miami gets the ball back Miami qb Rozier rolls back and tries to dump the ball off to a receiver but throws it right to LSU lb Jacob Phillips and he is somewhat surprised the ball is thrown right at him, and he scampers untouched for 40 yards for a touchdown and let the Hurricanes start flowing in New Orleans because LSU is on its way for a blowout sitting at halftime with a 27-3 lead.
The 2nd half was pretty dominant by LSU as well, they got in the red zone twice but settle for field goals from LSU kicker Cole Tracy. At this time the LSU Kicker scored 14pts and Miami as a team only scored 3pts. Miami would go on to score a pair of touchdowns as Hurricane qb Rozier III ran one in from the one yard line and then threw a deep pass to Canes WR Hightower for another touchdown. So LSU wraps up this game 33-17, which they were not favored to win, I heard some announcers saying it was gonna be a huge blowout for Miami. Funny how the players decide the game and the predictors and announcers talk.
