The team with the longest winning streak in the country couldn’t even stop Joe Burrow.
The LSU QB and 2019 Heisman winner accounted for six touchdowns as No. 1 LSU beat No. 3 Clemson 42-25 in Monday night’s National Championship Game to cap an undefeated season.
Burrow threw for over 463 yards as he set the single-season FBS record for touchdown passes and narrowly missed the record for best completion percentage in a season with a 30-of-47 passing effort. Five of those completions went for TDs and he ran for another.
The fifth and final passing TD was the dagger that sent Clemson to its first loss since Jan.
