Legendary LSU quarterback Joe Burrow recently appeared on the talk show Pardon My Take, where he was asked about a longstanding debate among fans of LSU and Ohio State football: who deserves credit for his success?
Burrow’s response was straightforward yet nuanced. He acknowledged that while he attended Ohio State for his education and practiced football there, he didn’t consider himself as having played for the team due to limited playing time. Instead, he emphasized his time at LSU, where he earned the starting quarterback position after transferring in 2018.

At LSU, Burrow’s 2019 season was nothing short of spectacular, completing 76.3% of his passes for 5,671 yards and 60 touchdowns, with just 6 interceptions. This remarkable performance led LSU to a National Championship victory, earned him the prestigious Heisman Trophy, and made him the number one overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft.
Burrow’s comments on the show reflect his gratitude towards both institutions but clearly align his football accomplishments with his time at LSU, where he had the opportunity to showcase his skills and achieve historic success on the field.
