Herbie after his performance on Saturday night in primetime Joe burrows Heisman odds went from 25 to 1 down to 6 to 1 LSU's fourth in the polls where do you put the Tigers among the nation's top teams right now I put him in the top four myself after seeing what they were able to do and the way they did it I think Kevin is the thing that stood out to me this was not just great athletes from Baton Rouge and a great defense it was Joe Burrell and it was a great group of wide receivers led by Justin Jefferson making so many plays after the catch how about the placement of the football by Joe bro that's the thing that I'm excited to watch Kevin is he wasn't just completing passes it's how he was stepping up in the pocket how he was keeping his eyes downfield and the placement of the football he looked in on balance he looked in rhythm he looks very comfortable quite candidly and I and I can't wait to see him continue to grow in this new scheme but LSU I think made everybody take notice that this is an offense and a team that I think has something some big plans and big goals in 2019 it changes a few things especially how we look at the SEC West moving forward now speaking of change here a week ago after losing JT Daniels many was saying it's the end for clay held at USC but true freshman Keaton slovis was fantastic in a comeback against Stanford now - and oh and here are the next four games for the Trojans at BYU home against Utah at Washington then they got to by then at Notre Dame hurt me how do you see this playing out for us see in the next five weeks Wow if they could at the beginning of the year you would have said to me those first six games if they would have been four and two or even three and three you know you could have said that that would be doing a pretty good effort to be able to get there then they lose JT Daniels true freshman steps in and that first half of that game one that wasn't necessarily going well but slovis give him credit fish is strong you see all of a sudden has some newfound confidence with a young quarterback and a lot of experience skill round him and all of a sudden they get ready for those next four games feeling pretty good about their chances but three of those four is you just saw on the road away from the Coliseum and and let's face it there's there's a lot of kind of anxiety and frustration around the program from their own fans so this is them against the world literally in this case because they know some of their own fans aren't even necessarily pulling for them because they want to see a new head coach and I personally hope to see clay Helton and this team do really well during this stretch I'm with you you can check out USC 3:30 Eastern on ABC against BYU now with this being the 150 year anniversary of college football ESPN ranked the hundred and fifty best teams of all time 1971 Nebraska that squad took the top spot who do you have Herbie as the greatest college football team ever in your mind I would put it between number four number seven and number ten and I would probably pull the trigger on number seven Miami oh one lot of great players on that team great leadership by Ken Dorsey and Ed Reid athletes like Andre Johnson they just walked into that national championship and blew out Nebraska think of that backfield a Clinton Portis Willis McGahee Frank Gore in that backfield alone so Jeremy Shockey they they were loaded with NFL players and NFL talent and at that point they were incredibly motivated Miami oh one team was still out to prove a point so that was a dangerous team yeah a total of 38 players from that roster in 2001 drafted by the NFL including 17 first-round picks we're so glad you're watching ESPN on YouTube for more sports and analysis download the ESPN app and for live streaming sports and premium content make sure you subscribe to ESPN plus we'll see you there
