The bowl schedule is all set and Joe Burrow ran away with the Heisman, as expected.
There was little doubt Burrow would run away with the coveted trophy, especially after his performance against Georgia in the SEC Championship Game.
Burrow received the highest percentage of first-place votes at 90.7%, beating the previous record of 86.7% held by Troy Smith in 2006. He surpassed Smith on the highest percentage of possible points at 93.8%. He also beat O.J. Simpson in the largest margin of victory and Marcus Mariota on the percentage of ballots received (95.5%).
His #1-ranked LSU Tigers take on #4 Oklahoma in the Peach Bowl, a College Football Playoff Semifinal. The winner of that game will play either #2 Ohio State or #3 Clemson in the Fiesta Bowl, also scheduled for Dec. 28.
Our next issue of The Kickoff will be released on January 15, 2020.
