Joe Burrow's Week 7 performance against Florida was enough for ESPN writers to move the LSU quarterback ahead of Oklahoma's Jalen Hurts on their Heisman Watch list.

Burrow received five first-place votes while Alabama's Tua Tagovailoa got four and Jalen Hurts just one.

Here's what ESPN had to say about Burrow: "In perhaps his toughest test of the season against Florida's defense, Burrow more than passed. LSU's star QB threw for three TDs and went 21-of-24 for 293 yards -- including 21 unanswered points in the second half -- as the Tigers beat the Gators, 42-28."

"Burrow is the surprise superstar leading the most surprising offense in college football. As good as Tagovailoa has been for Alabama, Burrow's big-play brilliance makes it hard to put anyone else atop the Heisman candidate list," said ESPN's Adam Rittenberg.

ESPN's full list is: Burrow, Tagovailoa, Hurts, Jonathan Taylor (Wisconsin RB), Justin Fields (Ohio State QB) and CeeDee Lamb (Oklahoma WR).
