#28 Major Burns game-saving tackle mid-way in the second quarter. #28 MAJOR BURNS

Major Burns is an absolute dog

Have to be honest. Between what I saw last year and early this year I did not think he was an SEC quality starting Satefy. Proven wrong!!! Congrats to Burns!!!

If you watch the game you can see the real value of Burns. He was making all the DB calls and getting everyone lined up. There may have been plays that DBs got "burned", but I didn't see any blown assignments and that's why LSU didn't fall behind early. Young was struggling to find open receivers and that was partly due to Burns' effect on the DB group.

That was the play of the game not a scoring play. It told Bama that we had the speed and athletes to play with them. Plus saved 4 points in a close game. Props to Burns, dude has NFL speed and heart.

yeah - that was amazing to watch - never thought he'd catch up.

Burns showed so much heart doing that especially when giving up on plays is becoming common. Great play by a great kid and I don’t give a chit if he initially got burned. If his effort is indicative of a Kelly coached team, we are in great hands. We need kids like Major to return to prominence.

Tracked down the bama receiver when they converted on 3-11 with about 8:30 left in 2nd quarter. Sprinted down the field to catch up with receiver, made the tackle, and bama had to settle for a field goal instead of touchdown. Did not give up! Geaux Tigers!

He was also the reason for the big gain on that play. He took a bad line allowing the receiver to break free.

CBK said in the post game "he better have run him down" or something like that.

It is great he didn't quit on the play though.

Huge play! He fast...
