Ensminger added, “Joe just knew he was going to go up and get the football. Whether it was a back-shoulder, whether it was out in front of him, whether it was a contested-catch”. Additionally, he mentioned, “Guys around the offense laughed about the 50-50 ball. They said, ‘Hey, in this room, with Ja’Marr and Joe, it’s an 80-20 ball.’”

The Joe Burrow & Ja’Marr Chase duo is set to dominate the league

Louisiana State University will be proud to have its two alumni playing in Sunday’s Super Bowl for the Cincinnati Bengals. Both players were acquired by LSU in 2018; Burrow was a transfer graduate from Ohio State University, while Chase was a true freshman. With Chase on board, Burrow and Chase made for an explosive duo.

LSU’s 2019 college football season was a dream run. LSU’s offense broke several college football playoff records, along with national and conference records. Additionally, Burrow was the best college football player at the time and won the Heisman Trophy.

And the nation’s best receiver, Chase won the Biletnikoff Award. The duo combined for a total of 1,780 yards and 20 touchdowns during the dream season. Ultimately, they won the National Championship after defeating the Clemson Tigers.

Now, the two are vying for the Super Bowl. There will be a lot of pressure on the two young stars, and it will be interesting to see how things turn out. Can Burrow and Chase win the Super Bowl for the Bengals? Feel free to share your thoughts with us.
