No. 2 LSU picked up its first win against Alabama since 2011 Saturday night as the Tigers benefitted from impressive performances from their Heisman Trophy candidate Joe Burrow and starting running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire among several others.
Here a few numbers to know from LSU’s win.
3 - Clyde Edwards-Helaire found the end zone four times against the Crimson Tide, three of those when rushing the ball. The three rushing scores were the most against the Crimson Tide since UCLA’s Deshaun Foster accomplished the feat in 2000.
Burrow also threw three touchdown passes against Alabama, becoming the first quarterback to do so this season against the Crimson Tide.
393 - Burrow tallied nearly 400 yards passing Saturday night and in the process broke more school records.
Burrow’s 393 yards Saturday night was his seventh 300-yard game of the season; he also broke LSU's record for 300-yard passing games in a season in the process. Burrow has now thrown for 3,287 yards on the season. That is the second highest total ever by an LSU quarterback in a season.
He also became just the fourth LSU quarterback to throw for 3,000 yards in a season, joining Zach Mettenberger, JaMarcus Russell and Rohan Davey.
559 - The last time Alabama gave up that many yards was in 2017 against Clemson.
33 - Burrow completed 33 passes Saturday night moving him ahead of Herb Tyler for fifth all-time on LSU’s competitions list with 457 total.
Burrow has completed 20 or more passes in his last 12 games.
4 - LSU’s win against Alabama tied a school-record four wins against Top 10 opponents the Tigers set last season. LSU is now 8-1 in its last nine games against Top 10 teams with the only loss being against Alabama in 2018.
