LSU Wins National Championship

On Monday, the LSU (Louisiana State University) Tigers capped off a dominant season, winning the College Football Playoff National Championship game, beating last year's champion, Clemson, 42 -25 at the Superdome in New Orleans to finish 15 -0. The season was a huge success in part because of quarterback Joe Burrow, who completed one of the best seasons by any college football player in history. Burrow broke the NCAA single-season record for passing touchdowns in a season, with 60. For the night, Burrow completed 31 passes on 49 attempts for 463 yards, five touchdowns and no interceptions. And although Clemson came into the game undefeated as well, they could not handle LSU. Clemson's 29 game win streak has been snapped, denying the Clemson Tigers back-to-back titles and their third in four years. It's also the first loss for sophomore quarterback Trevor Lawrence, already seen as potentially the No. 1 pick of the 2021 NFL draft, who had gone 25 -0 as Clemson's starter.
