If you watch ESPN, listen to ESPNU Radio or maybe read some of the national websites, most believe Clemson’s defense has no shot at stopping quarterback Joe Burrow and LSU’s offense in the College Football Playoff National Championship on Jan. 13.
The Bayou Bengals are the hot pick after scoring 63 points on Oklahoma in last week’s national semifinals at the Peach Bowl. Burrow threw seven touchdown passes, ran for another and tossed the ball around the yard for 493 yards in less than three quarters. Wide receiver Justin Jefferson caught 14 passes for 227 yards and four touchdowns.
