The LSU Tigers led by a fantastic Joe Burrow dethroned the reigning champions Clemson Tigers in the CFP championship game last night. The new champs won 42-25, proving that they are by far the best college team in the USA this season.

It is needless to say that the central figure on the pitch was Joe Burrow, LSU’s quarterback, and the winner of this year’s Heisman Trophy award. Burrow threw five touchdown passes and rushed for one more, crowning one of the best ever seasons for one player in the NCAA history.

“He’s one of the greatest players in LSU history,” coach Ed Orgeron told the reporters. “He’s done so much for the state of Louisiana and LSU. We are so grateful to Joe Burrow.”

The LSU Tigers finished this season without a single defeat, winning all 15 matches, and beating all four top-ranked teams in the preseason AP poll. It is something that happened for the first time in history, and the way Orgeron’s guys won those matches is even more shocking.

The average margin of all four wins was 21 points or three touchdowns, and that shows the power of this team even better.

Burrow and his teammates were even more hyped because they played in New Orleans, inside the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. It was their chance to do something big at home, and according to the hero of this event, there wasn’t the slightest chance for them to lose last night’s match.

“This is what I wanted to do from the time I was 5 years old, was hoist this trophy, and bringing it back to Louisiana,” Burrow said. “We weren’t going to let someone come in here and steal this from us in our home state.”

He would end the contest with 463 yards, completing 31 of his 49 passes, five of them ending with a TD. Burrow also rushed for one TD himself, and that was the turning point of this event.

Clemson opened the game better, and they had a 17-7 lead 4:22 into the second period. That is when Burrow carried the ball into the end zone, after a three-yard rush, to bring back the momentum on LSU’s side. Shortly after, he threw a TD pass to Ja’Marr Chase and with 10 seconds until the break, to Thaddeus Moss, Randy Moss’ son.

That last action was devastating for Clemson’s morale as they now trailed coming into the second half. Although Clemson responded with Travis Ettienne’s rushing TD, Burow kept on pounding, tossing two more TD passes, again to Moss and Terrace Marshal Jr.

On the other side, the former champs couldn’t do much. Trevor Lawrence had a bad game, posting 234 yards, 18-of-37, without a TD pass and an interception, but with one fumble. He ran for a score, but it was a very modest game for him in general.

We’re going to be fine, going to come back, but it just sucks not getting the finish we wanted to with those guys,” he stated.

It was officially the closure of one of the most epic seasons in the NCAA football. With the perfect record, and a quarterback who became the first one from the major schools to throw 60 touchdown passes in a season, LSU Tigers broke all heights, and set new standards in college football.
