Here are some interesting convergences that haven't gotten their due attention.The value of timelines, of course, is putting a bunch of non-chronological disclosures in chronological order.

But it was not until Sept. 15, 2018, that "The Legend of Joe Burrow" began ... at about 5:30 p.m. at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, Alabama. It was No. 12 LSU at No. 7 Auburn in the 2:30 p.m. CBS game.

"That's when I guess the legend of Joe Burrow began," LSU center Lloyd Cushenberry mused Monday.

On first down from the LSU 29 with Auburn leading 21-13 midway through the fourth quarter, Burrow found wide receiver Derrick Dillon across the middle for a 71-yard touchdown to get the Tigers within 21-19 with 8:18 to play. Burrow's bullet just missed the reach of Auburn linebacker DeShaun Davis.

"I thought I had it," Davis said after the game. "I judged the ball wrong I guess."

Warren faces first sustained attack in debate that begins with unified condemnation of Trump

While Trump gave Democrats an early reprieve from their internecine policy battles, those fights quickly emerged once the debate shifted from the president to candidates’ visions for what they would do in office.Warren (Mass.) faced direct challenges from several of the 11 other candidates onstage, who took her on over her policies, her fitness to serve as commander in chief and her willingness to question the motives of Democrats who support less transformational ideas.

Davis had just been Burrow-ed.

Dillon caught the ball at the tip of the "AU" at the 50-yard line and sprinted through the Auburn secondary for the touchdown.

After LSU's defense produced a three-and-out stop, Burrow converted a fourth-and-7 play at the Auburn 48 in the final minutes with a 9-yard completion to tight end Stephen Sullivan. Two plays later, Auburn defensive back Jamel Dean was called for pass interference against wide receiver Justin Jefferson to give LSU a first down at the Auburn 24 with under a minute to go.

With :02 remaining, it was LSU's Cole Tracy who became the hero with a 42-yard, walk-off field goal for the 22-21 win. But LSU became Joe Burrow's team.

"It was a great throw," Cushenberry said.

It was more than that.

"Auburn had a little momentum at that time," Orgeron said Monday. "I think Cole got most of the credit for that game, but obviously, we started believing in Joe. No question. That was his team. I thought he felt more comfortable."

"I just tried to be a leader," Burrow said after the Auburn game last year. "That's usually what gets me going. Trying to get my guys going, because when they go, I go. We kept confidence with each other."

Burrow was frustrated entering the fourth quarter as he was just 3-of-9 passing for 43 yards in the third quarter.

"But my coaches kept trusting me, and my teammates kept trusting me," he said a year ago.

Ever the teammate, Burrow says now it was LSU that arrived at Auburn last year, rather than himself.

"I think that was a big moment for our team," he said Monday. "We were struggling that game on offense pretty badly, and we kind of needed a spark. And Derrick gave it to us. He made a great play, great catch, and obviously a great run after the catch, too."

LSU will likely need more of those Saturday.

"Joe knew he could make a play like that before he did it," Cushenberry said. "Hopefully, he makes some more of them."
