(AP Photo/Bill Feig) Bill Feig Sheldon Mickles The magical season for LSU quarterback Joe Burrow and his offensive mates continued in the fifth-ranked Tigers' 42-28 win over No. 7 Florida on Saturday night. Burrow continued his assault on the LSU record books with three touchdown passes while leading the Tigers to 511 total yards against the nation's 10th-ranked defense in Tiger Stadium. Burrow's 7-yard TD pass to Justin Jefferson in the second quarter marked the 14th time — eighth in six games this season — that they have teamed on a scoring throw in their 1½ seasons together. That tied them for fourth in school history for quarterback-receiver TD tandems with Tommy Hodson-Tony Moss and Matt Mauck-Devery Henderson. Burrow's first and third touchdowns of the evening went to Ja'Marr Chase, helping Burrow climb the school's all-time chart for scoring passes.
