In other words, that conversation is just getting started.
WEEK 3 PROJECTIONS: Bowls | Playoff
"Those three have definitely taken reward of their new opportunities," Herbstreit told Sporting News. "You look at that transfer portal, and in some cases it pans out and turns out incredibly well. In other cases it doesn't plough out. In these cases, it did."
All iii quarterbacks accept deemed for 9 total touchdowns apiece through two games. Burrow (749 yards, nine touchdowns) has completed 81.8 percentage of his passes and led LSU to a 45-38 victory confronting Texas in Calendar week 2. Herbstreit said the relationship with new passing game coordinator Joe Brady, who was hired away from New Orleans in the offseason, has fabricated the 2d-year LSU quarterback the nearly interesting of the breakout players.
"The LSU 1 is most intriguing because it was less predictable," Herbstreit said. "You put Jalen Hurts in that Lincoln Riley organization and a lot of people thought it would work, how constructive nobody actually knew. That one was predictable. With what Justin Fields is doing, I recall even he's going much college than what most Ohio Land fans expected after 2 games."

"Yous tin can't help but think man, what'south going on here, that Joe Burrow could go up confronting Ohio Land or even Justin Fields could go up against Georgia," Herbstreit said. "Of course, the big 1 every bit you say is the one that a lot of people hope can happen is Jalen Hurts going up confronting Tua in the national championship (game) and how fun that could be."
That's a long way off, but it's been made possible by the transfer portal.
"We're going to sit back and put up ridiculous numbers," Herbstreit said.
Herbstreit continued his partnership with Allstate this flavor.
