NEW ORLEANS — They did it.
LSU’s magical season ended at the top of the peak of college football as the Tigers claimed their fourth national championship Monday night with a 42-25 win over Clemson. LSU is the SEC’s first 15-0 team in the College Football Playoff Era.
Coach Ed Orgeron is the third straight LSU head coach to lead the Tigers to a national championship.
“Give the credit to our players,” Orgeron said. “Those guys fought. We started working last year January 17th. They did the right things, character, grit, determination. They had their player only practices this summer.
