This right here is why it’s so easy to cheer for Burrow and Coach O. You can hate the SEC like I do and still acknowledge these two guys are outstanding.
In a world lacking authenticity, there’s no doubt these two are as authentic as they come. You can tell that Coach O has had a monumental impact on the LSU quarterback.

You always want to cheer for good people. There’s nothing more American than a great underdog story, and that’s exactly what we have with Burrow winning the Heisman.
He transferred from Ohio State, Coach O took a chance on him and changed his life forever. There’s obviously an amazing amount of gratitude there.
