Florida was 7th at the time, so it was a good performance.

Notice what I said though...he hadn't played fantastic against A LOT of great competition to that point.
He played great against Florida and Alabama before Tua went down.
That's only two.

I wasn't as on-board with Burrow at that point as I am now. I needed to see more to convince me. Luckily, his performances through the rest of the year helped with that.
Meanwhile, Tua was playing very well in 2019 after coming off a stellar 2018 and winning the National Championship in 2017.
I felt Tua was a safer prospect to project than Burrow by Nov 16, 2019.
