250/370 65.2% completion 3280 Passing yards 36 TDs 8 INTs
514 yards rushing 8 TDs

371/478 77.6% completion 5208 passing yards 55 TDs 6 INTs
310 yards rushing 4 TDs

So Burrow has passed for 1900 more yards, 19 more TDs, 12% higher completion, and fewer interceptions than Lawrence against tougher competition. There's no scenario where Burrow loses this game unless he gets injured.

Oh Oh, you should have done one of those blind stat comparison.

The matchup is Lawrence vs. your defense and Burrow against theirs.

Maybe Myles Brennan should start to make it a little more fair I kid

And Burrow has more completions than Lawrence has attempts...

They entering the Dr. Pepper contest at halftime? If so then these stats are relevant to the outcome. If not then they aren't.

These are two very talented Quarterbacks that are capable of beating any other team in CFB, including the one they're playing monday. That's all that really needs to be said about it. Deshaun Watson threw like 17 picks in 2016. Alabama had a defense that year that scored more points on the season than several division 1 offenses, it was a top 5 defense of the last 20 years. Then clemson won. I'm looking forward to the game, should be a good one. If Auburn, Bama, Florida, and Texas can hang around with LSU then I have few doubts that Clemson is up to the task

Lawrence is more talented and has been cruise to the playoffs against cupcakes. Burrow can lose this game .

Good thing you left out attempts as well. One guy rarely played in the 4th quarter during blowouts and the other guy did.

Burrow had a great season... better than Lawrence. Tua had a better season than Lawrence did last year. Fortunately it's a team game.
