Winning a national championship was the only way the 2019 season could end without disappointment for the LSU Tigers.
After steamrolling through most of their opponents — including Oklahoma in the Peach Bowl — it was clear that LSU was the best team in college football.
But they needed to beat Clemson on Monday night to prove it.
And that’s exactly what they did, thanks to another dominating performance from Joe Burrow.
Tigers head coach Ed Orgeron, as he always does, deflected the praise after the win. During his postgame interview with ESPN, Orgeron said he was in the right place at the right with the right coaches and the right players.
