The top-ranked LSU Tigers and No. 3 Clemson Tigers earned victories in the College Football Playoff semifinals Saturday to finalize the 2019 season's national championship matchup.
In the Peach Bowl, Joe Burrow accounted for a mind-numbing eight touchdowns during LSU's 63-28 win over Oklahoma. The senior set numerous CFP records along the way, helping LSU improve to 14-0.
Clemson needed a 16-point comeback to overthrow Ohio State, but Trevor Lawrence carried the Tigers to a 29-23 victory. Nolan Turner sealed the exciting Fiesta Bowl, intercepting a Justin Fields pass in the end zone during the final minute.
