LSU Football: 3 bold predictions for showdown with Auburn in Week 3
3. Joe Burrow throws four picks
When Joe Burrow announced that he was transferring from Ohio State the former highly sought after recruit was looked at as a viable option for many power five programs eating a signal collar.
He decided to go to LSU where the talent around him should lead to a great season. However, Burrows has not lived up to expectations and has struggled in both of the Tigers wins.

On this season Burrow is 21-for-44 with 291 yards passing and two touchdowns. That stat line would be considered a win for the fan base if it was simply one game, but when you watch other Power Five teams put up 50 and 60 points up against FCS opponents you have to wonder if the offense can consistently play at a high level.
The Auburn Tigers defense will look to slow down the running game and force Burrow into passing situations on second and third downs. I don’t expect him to do well at all and he could throw four interceptions in a lopsided LSU loss.
