VIDEO: LSU QB Joe Burrow Reveals His Grandmother Was a Total Beast in High School Basketball
By Sam Dunn
LSU quarterback Joe Burrow has a lot on the line this weekend when his Tigers take on the likewise undefeated Alabama Crimson Tide: pole position in the SEC, college football's best conference. And if the Heisman Trophy candidate is in need of any inspiration to take his game to the next level, he should look to his own flesh and blood -- specifically, his grandma.

Dot was a monster on the hardwood! 82 points? As ESPN's Tom Rinaldi notes, when Kobe Bryant famously torched to Toronto Raptors in January 2006, he "only" dropped 81.

54 per GAME? Sheesh, grandma's game was clearly on a different level.
When Joe and the Bayou Bengals take the field Saturday in Tuscaloosa, he would do well to channel some of her no-mercy energy.
