Trophy
The college football season has been full of surprises, and one of the biggest came when LSU’s Joe Burrow was named the Associated Press Player of the Year. Burrow edged out University of Washington’s Jack Penix for the Heisman Trophy, making him the first LSU player to win the award since Billy Cannon in 1959.
Burrow had an incredible season, leading the Tigers to an undefeated regular season and a spot in the College Football Playoff. He threw for an impressive 5,208 yards and 55 touchdowns, both of which are SEC records. He also completed 76.3 percent of his passes, another SEC record.
Burrow’s success this season was no surprise to those who have followed his career. He began his college career at Ohio State, where he played in 11 games and threw for 2,400 yards and 16 touchdowns. After transferring to LSU, he continued to improve, throwing for 2,894 yards and 16 touchdowns in his first season with the Tigers.
This season, Burrow led the Tigers to their first national championship since 2007. He was named MVP of the College Football Playoff National Championship Game after throwing five touchdown passes in a 42-25 win over Clemson.
Burrow’s success this season has been remarkable, and he is well deserving of the AP Player of the Year award. He has been an inspiration to many, showing that hard work and dedication can pay off. He is a great example of what it takes to be successful in college football, and he will be remembered for years to come.
