Joe Burrow and the LSU Tigers wrapped up one of the best seasons in college football history with their 42-25 win over Clemson (Banner Society's Jason Kirk broke down how they might be the best team in history in the last Shutdown Fullcast). Clemson kept it close for over a quarter and a half until Burrow and LSU passing game coordinator Joe Brady figured out how to attack Brent Venables' defense.
Coming into the game, Clemson’s defense had held all but one opponent to negative average expected points added (EPA) and below a 32 percent EPA success rate.
