1/13/20 - CFP National Championship - #3 Clemson vs #1 LSU

and you're hosting LSU, which way do you want to kick next? Well, go ahead and turn your back on that goal and our Drive look at this defense on the field first build all this crowd noise and show confidence in that unit against Trevor Lawrence Maria. Taylor with the demonstration honey Maria, well coach, they have doubted your team all season, but you told them that they will have the opportunity to prove that they are the best, which makes you confident that they will be fine. I mean, we have a good team. I like it. guys so I watch you practice every day I have a great group of people who love each other hoping to get a chance now we sent it to Tom Minami really thank you Maria thank you so much Edie everything it took to get here everything what it means to you.

How do you handle the challenge of emotion when coaching this team to win? You know that after the first set everything is lost. It's about fundamentals. Technique played for 60 minutes. A damn good team will have a blessed battle. Cherish the time. There is no time for the clan to worship. Ron's head emerged from a punch he gave himself after practice to excite his boys. He's a unique individual, Kurt, he really is. He has a team that is incredibly fired up against a veteran Bill team at Clemson that has been there and gotten that lead. and experience would tend to give the advantage to the Clemson Tigers, but we will see the excitement of LSU's Clinton here, the first boards run in hopes of an early stop in hopes that the crowd continues to make life difficult for Lawrence, they They have the busiest. and the best kickoff man in the country, Avery Atkins, a sophomore from Auburn Alabama, two cast Travis etn in the hopes that, against all odds, he will have the opportunity to return this kick comes from Jennings Louisiana, about a hundred miles away, Tigers against Tigers for the title.

Should be a lot of fun, it's a line that gets new yards behind the fan zone, so here comes Trevor Lawrence's sublime performance against the Crimson Tide in the

championship

game a year ago, he never threw a pick in a postseason game , a boy who had to show. his toughness the helmet shot against Ohio State he thought he was hurt they were down 16 points at that moment I ran and launched them to victory yes, 16 carries on the night he had to really his legs had to be the difference in that game 25 and Or as a starting quarterback they pushed a little early trying to live up to expectations, establish themselves in the second half of the season, you're only throwing one interception in the last seven games if you throw and Justin Ross is a trick play from the principle. the bat each TN raises a catcher's hand LSU doesn't fall for it Christian Fulton made the play yes LSU flying around Clemson trying to catch them getting some sleep trying to get the ball to the outside Tian will have to have a big night t Higgins didn't play well against Ohio State he got banged up, he's going to have to play incredibly well in a perimeter chase against the best pass rusher in Stingley, the best freshman cornerback in the

national

scrimmage and he caught us after the LSU defense jumped out. offside Lawrence makes the most of free blood, Clemson felt scouting report on LSU man-to-man, they play a lot of guys, but they give you outside influence, they take away your faith, they say, outside, he was on News.

So instead of being able to go to the outside, it pumps to the outside and Trevor felt that Jason, who is amplified in this building, jumped and then he knew that the roof goes to the inside, the bull that gave him that move that Clemson investigated to from these. two weeks in preparation they know they could get that 35 yard play in the inside area looking to throw again each CN is the love for Lawrence and his space is broken a tackle they drag him near the 26 yard line The Tigers instantly burn small screen small slide screen catch him outside in space travis ET n this needs room to work with a great difference maker in this offense, good call and how about that touch of Trevor Lawrence going over the top of the LSU defense growing again?

This is an aria Rogers who brought out every CN like a The receiver was a monster against Ohio State. Those two touchdown catches were huge. Ohio State won the line of scrimmage and couldn't run the ball. They feel like they can run him maybe on the edges, but they really believe he could make a difference in the passing game. so in interest LSU this crowd this environment Clemson's response which is an aggressive attack going after LSU hot on their heels taking this crowd out of the game war players four passes Lynn Jay Dixon is now to the right of Lawrence in the backfield who has the ball tries to get it out came, but the LSU defense establishes the lead and brings it down for a 1 yard loss Rashard Lawrence on the play Jacoby Stephens number three does a very good job of establishing the lead, he didn't necessarily make the tackle, but he came out of the block, a chog by JC forced him back to the inside Dixon back to the inside where the Queen-led linebackers are able to make the play with that great speed in the first third, Hudson converts at 46% this season.

He recognizes the pressure. Right there, let's see if LSU comes out of it, a dummy named Grant Delpit tilted his hand showing pressure from the inside, it looks like he's backing up like a bucket now; here he comes and they went back to Delpit's benefit 36, he was the one who got good, I think Clemson felt like they had him and then they backed out, he's here, he sits down and then he's a little late. I think it's good coverage on the field, there's no place for him with the ball, so Delpit. Even though he's on some sort of safe blitz, he eventually makes it home, forcing a long field goal attempt.

Beating C. Potter is South's sophomore, check it out, they're not going for what would be a long career, he's been hitting since this. Range did the pregame warmup, but he said honey decides to send in Will Spiers, the punter, and now with one second left, I'm going to delay the game here to back it up a little bit interesting, trying to pin down Ellis in his offense. their first possession, the way Joey executed on all ends, you shoot for a field goal there, especially early in the game, great field position, so to throw fire for Clemson, they threatened the big Delpit sack, stops the initial possession needles, very good, they knocked him out. a dozen dead punts inside the 10-yard line hit him high with backspin and the closet seemed able to corral him at about the six-yard line, so he comes back against this goal line.

Heisman Trophy winner Joe Perot takes over on LSU's first possession as Joe Burrow approaches. He comes from Athens and southeastern Ohio and is a basketball star and in American football he was not recruited by the school of his dreams, Nebraska, where his father and brothers played, he went to Ohio State, played three seasons, did not have many opportunities, transfers to LSU last year were pretty good this year. off the charts sensational and broke records for margin of victory in the Heisman Trophy claims the quarterback position as a middle linebacker incredible ability to get the ball out quickly Clemson has to come up with some plans to try to get him out of the empty backfield five creators of play flanking donkey and he goes to fight stays alive and Chuck is down the field in his cut at 43 for the Titanic fatiah stripes which is part of Burroughs' final plays, but there is a flag behind near the line of scrimmage, so wait, there's got to be a guy on the field and left guard Adrian McGee, he's been in pass protection for a long time and eventually he crosses the line of scrimmage, you'll see, but how about a good job?

This is what makes this guy such a good burrower. the breakers are unable to bring him down and then there you see the offensive lineman here, they're a good seven or eight yards downfield when he makes that throw, so it eliminates a potential big play, the creativity and, by the way, Brent's first play Venables. bring Isaiah Simmons out of the slot on a 36-yard blitz the doors of the game make him person 13 Tigers rush only three and short growers are incomplete that time they were on Simmonds two meats to go what I just saw looks like a lot to what Kevin Steele did three linemen, one linebacker, seven defensive backs and three 170s trying to get more athletic ability, more speed on the field, so Nolan Turner, twenty-four, 14 are also there, Denzel Johnson, who hasn't played a lot, but tonight he will start against his Prolific offense in all these weapons mentioned the Auburn game, they gave LSU problems in the red zone, although the Tigers gained over 500 yards against the steals defense and the emergency layup , they faked him on the incomplete slant, so again and Jabbar Chase couldn't.

Think about it, dirt and turf, it's a great return-to-the-cap matchup at AJ Terrell's length, everything he's heard about for two weeks. I love how physical he gets on the line, he runs away, maybe a little bit of a grab there, but I love how Brent Venables is challenging these receivers on the outside trying to disrupt that moment when all these talented receivers are coming in. . The CFS has been a nightmare for third down opponents converting only 31%. Bunsen's fans make noise from the end zone and rush him out. complete, but in the sky, Jefferson-only traffic is going nowhere and spurns opening touchdowns in six straight games, spicy only once this season, which was against Auburn, well, Brent Venables has a reputation for bringing pressure this time, which is why he receives the ball so quickly when it is thrown. down, but instead rushes to keep his eyes on Burrell's quarterback rush and allows the rest of the Tigers' secondary to rally around the 29-year-old football player, the left-handed punter Zach Bond Rosenberg, the boot the way Mari Rodgers appears in Plzen in the 42nd turn without a tackle that will be brought down right there, but Sweeney's field position works perfectly as Lawrence will take control in territory positive for the second drive, that's exactly why I did it with the confidence he has in his defense on the first.

The series after this long road goes to the Clemson Tigers. It's the first time since the Auburn game that LSU hasn't been able to keep a driver who put points on the board, but left him a little aside, the 3 1 7. is what Clemson puts on the field defensively in that first series Lawrence went four for four on an opening drive for 51 yards etes on his first celery carry for Jake the Philips, LSU's top tackler made the stop. I think it was the best opportunity to run the ball because of the size of the interior of the LSU defensive front they are going to have to get it from the outside.

He has great acceleration and they can put a dent in that defensive line on the edge and try to get that lead and get yards. Positive yards seconded by play action and tight skewed revenue coverage. Kerry Vincent Jr.'s Sabari Rodgers arrived early we're seeing these officials early in this game let him play hey Vincent arrived look five jumps this round of slant shots his little quick a little early with a push in the back could easily be called thirty five This is where they have to be able to win there same, at the top with Higgins Lawrence is looking to the right, shoulder a little too far for Higgins Istanbul, to the specialist room and the coverage they made with their two most talented. receivers on the edge and I see Justin Ross and T Higgins, he creates one-on-one, there's a little bit of outside leverage pull there, but the ball's not really catchable.

The outside leverage forces Higgins inside, but he can't hit a pretty good coverage there from LSU. up for the second time in two possessions Clemson is inside the LSU 40 but stops and here he shoots trying to do what he did about four minutes ago, which has been a deep LSU guy who may have kicked this one a little further than what I intended and although it is not a very clean coverage the team does its job perfectly donkey backed off again after these messages watching the health football playoff

national

championship

game presented by AT&T the college football football playoff national championship game is presented by AT&T and partly Ford f-150 fight Built Ford Tough allstate reminds you that football season is chaos and Taco Bell's nacho party package.

Every Clemson championship was won as an underdog in the deciding game. About 600 miles from here in Clemson, the streets are packed for a viewing party that has seen their defense. gets Burrell and gets me off the field with a three and eliminates the one yard loss that drive started at the 7th Kirk now they're in place because Joe Brady tells us this week along with Stephens finger that they don't know what defenses are going to do when they interpret them because they have been very effective and explosive. Now that you have the book on it, you see that three oneseven see a different look and now have an idea at least what Brent Venables wants to do against this offense now that they make their adjustments Spanish Moss' son Randy points out the weight of the formation three receivers grouped there and it's Edwards Hilaire who hits in the backfield Simmons is all over the place early we have eight guys near the line of scrimmage anticipating a run here and I guess there's no one there to pick up Isiah Simmons who comes off the edge again and you're right it's active Chris now hides from Amazon, the first ending of the night.

Chase is a couple of yards short of the score Hendricken coverage challenging chase challenging these receivers that's their answer they will try to slow them down without giving them much room to work playing with tempo they get it out correctly but it's incomplete pressure I have to dig the throw was inaccurate to Jefferson and the puck team comes out again, this weird look with three linemen down really opens up the playbook for Brent Venables to put pressure on, it's making the offensive line guess where that pressure could come from, that's why it opened up like that on Isiah free.

Simmons Joe Burrow is usually in charge setting the protections understanding where the Blitz pressure is and after the first two series right now he is scratching his head trying to figure out a workable scheme two four five at first making a not very good punt by Vaughn Rosenberg but gets a good rebound Clemson will start at the 32-yard line and the Bayou Bengals used to do so by exploding early on offense as it happened scoreless midway through the first quarter mr. Marks the fifth anniversary of the Cosmic Ballplayer Foundation's extra playground initiative for teachers, CFP CEO Billy Hancock SPM President Jimmy Potaro presented a six-figure check weeks ago to students and teachers at New Orleans Public Schools and Jefferson Parish Schools and Teachers around the dome have to stand to be recognized as third possession for Clemson and in LSU territory every time, but this time the punt was set to 33 and did not see him run the ball to the quarterback's spot, but the play action goes through him through the catch made while breaking.

Galilei and the Tigers squeeze and rumble if the flood comes on an attack that is from the 10 yard line and the man who was suspended for an entire season makes his first impact play in a long time, he made a great play there, but I think is going to arrive part of this will come back with him blocked by T Higgins a blindside blocks an illegal personal foul blindside blocking offensive move the ball back and they will turn around at about the LSU 40 yeah this is way down the field you see it almost at about the 28 yard line We, he had already put up big yards, he got in front of them, but still, since Queen had no idea that he is a defenseless player, you can't make that block, it's one of the new rules and the Commons football to protect these players, but it is a big decision. first and 10 to put those linebackers eyes on a backfield on etn and on Trevor Lawrence and they catch him sleeping by sneaking to Galloway behind the play is 42 seer before the fake penalty Lawrence CIL has the ball looking to run makes a cut and slips in the 30th will mark him just before the first attempt between what is decisive as a runner.

I think that's the area where his game has changed the most from last year to this year. He weighs 220 pounds. He's running the ball. he makes those safeties have to really be aware of 16, not only as a passer, but also the threat of him getting it down and running the ball like we saw last week against Ohio State. 16 carries 100, suddenly you have to pay attention to Galloway of the Clemson Titans on the slap to the right Lawrence is facing the middle trying to buy time and throws the fastball and sliding down there is a flag again in the pit area of the offensive line where the referee would normally be a holding call or a hands up face personal foul on the Salt Lake City freshman and then move the ball inside the 10 is against center Pollard just to the right there 62 he's trying to do everything he can with his hands and look at that right hand he lifts his tracking helmet almost came off the referee Pollard saw he made the call first and scored at the 6 not only the play but then the yards on top of that on the back end jeomsun has been lethal in the red zone this year touchdown 75% of the time in a game like this every possession down here you never want to settle for a field goal against jobra in that offense they want to score touchdowns justifies direct snap moves everyone who comes out short speeds up reaches towards the goal line is short so there's a wrinkle there they're just coming out unloading everything right now it's in play callers with Jeff Scott Tony Elliot it's interesting to see how quickly puts his foot down, accelerates and then the power to almost extends to that goal line, second down, Lawrence will still be scanned with a tuxedo on and the Clemson Tigers get first blood in the Superdome.

LSU loses its badge. Stage where they really challenged. Trevor Lawrence is making the right run and he's giving a good field, he's just going to stay on that trip, make him commit the easiest thing and then take it out and get to the corner for the touchdown. He needs Potter for the conversion. 567 years, two weeks, the end zone and LSU is behind for the first time in 25 wars. since late October, Lars has a running back again, like against Ohio State, what more stats, hey, theory, who has the most touchdowns in college football. The answer is Jo Perot, who is 3 shy of Colt Brennan's single-season FBS record of 58.

It has been easy for Perot. eight touchdowns in the first nine possessions of the semifinal over Oklahoma, but like last year's championship game, their defense has set the tone from the beginning, it was a pick six, but AJ was behind last year and they have blocked LSU, whose games are about eight yards from play against Kirk, got six yards on the first six plays, were also backed up deep in their own area and are inside their own five once at the 4-yard line, also in the seven, to Stephen's Manor on the right, calls the play Joe Brady, who has been a big splash as the passing game coordinator out of New Orleans.

The Saints have brought more of an NFL scheme to this offense and it has been dynamic. You're talking about an offense that scored 49 points per game to lead the country. They've tested everyone in these first two possessions. They're kind of guessing right now against their three, one, seven and seven defensive backs. See what they do to counter what Venables throws at them earlier. Munson puts pressure on the first city they choose. made the throw to Edwards and Lair, but not long after the catch, Tanner Muse forced them out, but we sat down with them, they talked about the diamond, whether it's five, six, seven defensive backs with what they call Penny, they said that we want to give Joe the full progression. read the meaning, give him the opportunity to take the ball out of his hands, quickly find the confrontation that we like the most, look for the inclination that Terrence Marshall and LS now deliver on his watch, his first first attempt and along the 40, and at that point I had enough time to officially find that nice window, too late.

I was able to put myself under good protection. Good moment that time or the first times we saw LSU with that moment that has once again been historic in the 2019 season, 15 years away again. action the district is under pressure he steps forward he can't escape he will be fired by Justin Foster who has to step forward tonight Gurkhas Niles Pinckney can't go that's right, he's at the limit he was wondering the limit tonight works Isiah Simmons they have been bringing quite a bit when they feel they can get home in passing situations, here's a first down and because Simmons forced him to step up, Foster finally gets the four, his man getting the Burrow Pinckney has an ankle, so guys like Darnell Jeffries Foster will play a bigger role tonight, it's a deep defensive front, although second and 13, Shelf's pressure has acquired pearl shots, but again, that doesn't look like nothing to what he did for the first 14 games so far, he doesn't do it at all and as soon as he saw his running back Clyde.

Edwards will get to the top of the screen and face Isaiah Simmons, that's the matchup he wants, but first of all, the running back receiver here, Edwards, then he doesn't separate himself from Simmons with that. route and Joe looks very uncomfortable with that delivery usually the ball comes out fast, comes out crisp Mike bottle accurate, not the case there / - on the 3rd he eats 13 yards here tight group formation Blake, close it - just get it out of the burrow climbing scanning fires downfield in the hands of Jamar they chase Tyrell in coverage and force another punt, but they're giving the agenda the feeling that they're applying pressure here with the Scouse key, they'll move the freshman, in Tyler Davis actually ends up getting there, but he's able to keep this play alive with his athletic ability, great downfield coverage, long coverage, and again AJ Terrell's length at 6 1 190, able to stretch and tackle all the way to the end. to the third Rosenberg Gill contraband he had. three combined punts in the hoops over the top five teams Georgia and Oklahoma, won a dead paper at the 25-yard line, but Lawrence and Clemson take on seven to be held Saturday for every 22, the heavyweight fight biggest in decades facing Deontay Wilder, Alabama linear champion Tyson Fury, live from Las Vegas, undefeated and weighed for the second time, which was a resounding draw, the first time in history, a number 22 live on PPV, no This is what Coach Cho expected so far in this first quarter. the defense has been stumped their offense has been shut down my action Lauren steps up and throws deep Higgins raises flags comes in was dug arriving late Fulton in coverage against Higgins but they don't hesitate when they get a single stop to try to get that ball back T Higgins one of them embarrassed the number one defense.

This is the third time they've tried to go vertical on T Higgins, who has great acceleration and pretty tight coverage, but he's got a step up. They're going to take that shot. Delpit. whoever has a great closing speed approaches, but it is an easy decision for the referees in the P. I also take the penalty for the great gain, I lose the ball before the forty egn and the traffic turns but I cannot escape the entrance of Fulton, still a good first down play. with patience they are giving their blockers a chance JC chalk that tide falling along with the gara John Simpson expected Clemson to use the tempo they have there is a high shot over the head of a bar the first time in Trevor his miss tonight yes that was a run pass option where you feel that careless receiver and if you get pressure from the man defending a news, Jacoby Stephens three, you didn't get there, but just getting to his face forced him to throw that ball once he I needed four. -man rush florence throws him out incomplete tried to find ross on a slant Derek Stingley junior that excellent freshman corner was there and the LSU Tigers defense was able to stop how good the matchup will be with Ross against Sting, both, both, these receptors.

Ross or Higgins with his size competing against Sting Lee, who said it, just an incredible freshman, six 190 pounds, comes from Baton Rouge, was the number one overall recruit, was targeted so much it's hard completing passes against spiers, has been excellent at clearing punts. inside the 10 and pinning LSU tries to do the same thing at that time we didn't get the pun and they weren't trying to delay a game, a play, an offense, five yard penalty, go on fourth down, no To mix it up in a rugby punt, you can see needles rolling to his right, well they also took Isaiah Simmons who was lined up as a personal protector and then he was taken off, it took a little bit of time and eventually that caught up with him, we've talked.

A moment ago between Sweeney and Spiers, a third-year punter for Clemson, the complicated part is a low boot. Stingley on the run, can you make a man miss?, makes a couple guys go on the way back as he turns near the 30 yard line, as well as Taco Bell. has purchased the best of the regular season for the CFP Taco Bell live my student section providing free tickets to students from both schools giving the biggest game to the biggest fans. Bump Bump Joe Berlin says we brag all year that his receivers are tied In Moss, he explains to them how they have a great future in the NFL right now, they're losing the paddles one by one to that Clemson secondary and that's the first time this year that he pressured Burrell to remove him.

Moss fails to catch. Long after the catches, Simmons was on him that time, he felt that bombardment when the first few times hehe saw the barrage of Wallace and Scouse T coming from his right, so he knew he had a boy, they just didn't have the numbers. He at least can get positive yards on first down in Brazil and can't escape Skull Ski's tackle. He has that tattooed on his left bicep that says war like the war you are and he is here at home. I doubt it, Senate monster year, they're going with that condensed formation and that gives Clemson the defensive opportunity to get eight guys in the box when Brent Venables has more bodies than they can walk around in, but he's still capable to fight for that first. down, she was still trying to get that spark, build that momentum and create that rush that we've seen for so long from Bart, so she just lowered her shoulder and hit Terrell for a good first down, but that can cause an offense, a run like that, we go through a defender and it would be a tackler, the corner appears Terrell, he is there with the opportunity to make that play, but Gibbs and I made a low center of gravity, how physical can Edwards be as defensive line. low center of gravity, a good way of saying that it is very low, yes, but very effective, now Baro will rush down the field to chase who has the touchdown.

LSU took a while, but the Bayou Bengals came out and said: join the party, that's Joe Brady and Stephen's Finger's response when one-on-one battles outside the numbers Jamar Chase has done that all year , what a great invention of ball skills fighting there with Terrell struggling to lose his balance and keeping his eyes on that ball for a touchdown in year two when the political prize is the best receiver curveball score by a third seat time this season, but a deep shot is by far the most important thing they have. They have been doing a good job with Brent Venables' play of putting pressure on these safeties.

I've been cheating, you know, you got it here, you got this guy down there trying to take away a lot of the quick shots, a lot of the stuff underneath, this time he just sits there, folks, Turner can't come back and help Terrell. so it's essentially Terrell on an island versus the chase behind him and there's a precision in a burrow for his first touchdown of the night, it was good versus good and that matchup and that one goes to the supremely confident sophomore from the last year extremely confident, what is that. What we can do is that, now the threat of that is going to make Brent Venables stop all this pressure and now you can go back to trying to run your basic offense the quick throw is too quick slants and in the run game make another throw downfield if you isolate yourself one on one they were quiet and surprised my Clemson's quick start and now at seven apiece, see what to do Lawrence, they won't have great field position this time after the touchpad aerial coverage provided Goodyear has lifted some of the fog in New Orleans, that's good news, are you recognizing those who strive to stand out from the rest?

Goodyear pushed more for the big moments, Kirk, that happened inside this dome, seven Super Bowls, a ton of championship games, in fact, the last four times LSU played for a title right here in this building, we've seen the first three, yeah, think about it, but I think about this this building, I think about Michael Jordan, rightly so, making that last-second shot as a freshman to win a national championship, yeah, great, Leonard, so many wonderful things. I hope we have more memories tonight that were a disaster, the center was not very precise Louis had to turn his hands towards egn and they crowded and Jacoby Stephens and Michael there and the timing was not good from the beginning, the center was good for Lawrence, but the execution of the handoff was slow and allowed the defense to get into the backfield.

It's perfect, there is a slowed down and disorderly penetration. Lawrence walks in there. The sponsors were able to clean that up. LSU fans certainly felt a shift in Clemson momentum behind the sticks in second and 14 empty backfield. ETN took a pika and then moves forward and gets positive yards. We'll set up a 67-yard third-and-six touchdown run against Ohio State, as the play will never forget the late-night touchdown of the season for Lawrence, who just admitted there are 13 left now that neither side has converted on third down, but there is some confusion on the LSU side as he tries to line up Lawrence under pressure chases him downfield and makes Galloway the tight end dig first at the 45 his second sack Chris you got it the Confucian and in the LSU secondary and then there, in the fact that they were not there. able to catch Lawrence, there is his athletic ability to keep the play alive, he throws against his body, but there is no one there to pick up Galloway and the yard Gannon third and six now darting forward each of them.

CN Galloway, a guy who had a positive PE D test had missed a whole year imagine not participating in that serious mistake that, according to him, was innocent. The first game since October 2018 played the last game against the Buckeyes, but he didn't do much and already had an impact on the national championship in his first quarter. Jacoby. Stephens, the LSU junior safety, on the field, you've seen the team and Clemson that had a calm confidence and then it comes directly from their quarterback and their coaching staff, they know what they're capable of at a championship stage and we've It went really well at the beginning, yeah, they really have a really good matchup for the last two weeks.

How will Joe Burrows' offense stack up against his Clemson defense? Because Clemson has had a great history and tradition of being creative and confusing quarterbacks. offensive lineman and pass protection and I think that will continue to be the game within the game to eventually find out who wins their football. Stephens helped Gary, a fucking junior, the quality safety takes his position second and for the last 20 seconds of the quarter, Lawrence. again running and making his way showing his quick feet and strength, it's a first down and that's a quarterback draw, he's trying to maneuver and find the crease which was hard to do but he has a great change of direction for a guy his size at six six to be able to find a way to get that incredible first down, but Clemson has controlled the clock on field position, they hit the lightning first to Jamar Chase ties the game at seven at the end of one here in New Orleans, come on. to Kenny, the top seven each served in the second quarter, now football playoff national championship game presented by AT&T Lipson trying to add to his impressive trophy case trying to go back-to-back fifteen of those seasons and when that CFP trophy and was supposed to do that in the playoffs, Europe is notable trying to win it for the third time in four years to beat a 40 nano heavyweight from the Southeastern Conference each time, start the second quarter on the move with the LSU 42 and then Jay Dixon spelling etn in the backfield. infected will be jey Dad to Rajas was a pop he's done it smart gets some speed gets to the corner for about six they're going to continue to challenge those edges of the LSU defense they're going to try to pressure, think about just a pass rush that's it a good way to keep them on is to have them respect that aspect, whether you run e TN or use a jet sweep, in that case without Rogers second and five.

Lawrence's guided throws offer a long shot and Justin Ross, you see. arm strength, but it wasn't accurate, yeah, it gives you that feel of zone reading and looking for the defense trying to build it up, trying to get those linebackers and defensive backs to come in and try to get a one-on-one matchup. can win and because Stingley was in a great position he tried to shoulder back to pass the ball to Ross, maybe we had a chance but obviously the ball sails, good coverage of the Tigers by the LSU Tigers, They obtained a third and five clears.

Miss Rogers gestures through Vixen is behind and Lawrence's pressure puts the ball to Dixon in the final minutes, a dangerous play, but he was caught three yards from the score at the 35. Caleb in pursuit has had a few last two or three great games. relentless effort, he actually fell to the ground, got back up and still managed this pressure on Lawrence before he can take him out just before his knee touches to hand it off to Dixon Lapointe. Persecution is now a factor that arises from offensives. left side against Carmen the field goal team is on the field beats Potter try this from 52 what would be quite a race is from 51 twice the LSU field goal team ran very late the kick is wide and is good from distance as a sophomore offers a new long run, the nine-play 40-yard drive and gets him back on top, he drove it low and had enough.

It has been a great season for the young kicker, but he delivers on a big stage ten seven Tigers in the Orange president. The first lady also added LSU's victory in Alabama this year and Congressman Steve Scalise, right, looks ready for Mardi Gras. He does not understand the home team de facto, although once again behind the kettle there are now three of three in field goals. beyond 50 yards this season and I smile from the demonstrations, honey, then he avoided the long field goal attempt early, but Potter delivers there now begins and it will be another touch back moment of the plan to play in 2008 Northwestern Mutual because They went back to the At the drawing board they said you know, let's get the ball out of Joe Broz's hands quickly and that was one of their responses, try to find a matchup, try to find space, try to get their athletes in space. and then they created a one-on-one opportunity.

Burrell knows he's going to chase all the time keeps the safety in position works from the left to the right makes a 70 yard drive and a touchdown I have 38 yards in 14 plays before that touchdown they have 10 pass attempts and they had scored 32 yards until the 52-yard line to chase hastily turns into pressure. borough scans and takes and is free and now slides down. He is a dangerous runner. He really hurt George in the SEC championship game. He looked at the center of his defense. He watches as he clears up. and watch Joe Perillo Isaiah Simmons take a break once the kids have their eyes on Moss, you've got to have someone there to account for Joe Burrow's speed and decisiveness 4:37 first downs this season, that's a big number he gets on the field so fast when he decides to run the ball much faster that it could appear on television when you watch it at field level defenses have to adapt, they are usually surprised by the slant of traffic, comes Marshall and they get about six that quiet. if they share, you're going to put pressure on Isaiah Simmons, they're going to get the ball out quick and flat, one of those quick slants underneath, whether it's two, two, who's had a quiet night, Justin Jefferson or the Marshall on the terrace who gets that happens.

Although that catch is big there on first and ten they come back in those three linemen looking at the linebacker seventy bees and borough has to force the ball into coverage there Simmons is on Thaddeus Moss, they are interested in taking away the tight end tonight, they know. that they have to do it and they want to put Isiah Simmons at tight end because of the size, he had a natural matchup, he does a good job walking with the arm body, it doesn't affect Moss for the pie, but again he has that great length to could move if not.

It took a long time for the Butkus Award winner to make an impact play against Ohio for sure, he finally had the third pick and four donkey pressed the Skull Ski flavor and just had to throw it away, so again the linebacker misses. plays up top, it's worth trying to get the ball to Clyde Edwards, he plays a love touch, but the pressure in the middle again can get home clean, there's no one there, you come up empty, you know what you're going to get. pressure, but because of downfield coverage by safety Nolan Turner, there's nowhere to go even though LSU knew that was coming, they can't separate on third down, there's nowhere to go for Borough to throw that ball, look at a quarterback, he's in the FBS. record pace almost 78% completions 7 of 14 so far this time it's the job of the LSU cut team to hit the ball deep RACI McGrath Creek math I have to say he's the best gunner on their special teams, he gets the ball down the line 4 yards college football The National Championship playoff game presented by AT&T is presented by Gatorade for athletes who give it their all.

Nothing beats Gatorade and Samsung cue LED TV bringing 4k to tonight's mega cast for the first time, unless winning championships at home is a familiar theme. Bill Beckham. jr. the honey badger, many legends on both sides here tell us that you once beat Clemson in a Sugar Bowl in a perfect 7 zip season thriller, that's right, Patrick's editorsThey got a return pass. I found myself at halftime. 150 CFP deal by the 11 best players in sports history with me, cheers, it's going to be a lot of fun, we saw LSU and that first quarter trapped inside their own 10 a couple of times, be very effective, get any fraction, let's see how Trevor Lawrence handles it.

Toby Stephens, the safety is back. in the game Lawrence in play action from the end zone shoots a long throat Ross makes the catch to be brought down at the 28 by Fulton, but a first down was a great route by Justin Ross, there they go after Fulton inside, they They move towards him the post comes out Phil never had a chance to have good eyes, a lot of patience that time from Ross he really sold that inside move to make Fulton bite him before cutting outside he has become difficult to beat this year he has a rating first-round pick in the NFL draft Fulton gains 24 yards and delivers the ball, Scotty Tian bounces it tightrope in LSU territory Delpit finally forced him out and chased him, he is like a pass rusher, he loses the advantage in his eyes are looking towards quarterback Lawrence. he's looking for a pass because Lawrence fakes the throw any team passed by him he got 29 he's got it again at a hundred he'd love to even the feet Mozilla's brother Trevor who scored a touchdown in this building they lost the state championship game 3a which Travis has never done. scored a touchdown in the dome, it's on its way, it looks like they're going to have a big night, they're having a hard time establishing that lead and so, Clemson within their own five and now more LSU territory 236, big chunks of yards Linda Dixon in a reverse is Higgins Lawrence those a block negatives going breaking tackles babies touchdown Clemson extends the lead Wow 36 yards the deception now you get an aggressive defense counter that with the reverse look at Carmen leading the way look at Justin lost 8 with an outstanding block on freshman Stingley and then T Higgins showing some toughness low his shoulder goes over the other corner Fulton to make his way to the end zone some physicality of the law a wide receiver in 64 215 stack of newt C&C in camera shows you, the touchdown, kept your feet on the field, hey, Kirk, Kirk, thumbs back, they don't care, it's Ohio State, 94 and 99 yards, touchdowns, 196 yards in four plays, just like that one winning series was correct, not in the desert shows. the confidence they have in a quarterback with his game they call him and they are immobilized like this already 263 total yards LSU just gained 17 in the name of that big play now you can assist LSU okay, it has cost them a lot of power to stop the edge to Let them fly, watch this defense fly to stop the possible out of position Carman showing some athletic emoni, but that blocking bite Justin Ross is just outstanding and I love seeing Higgins lower his shoulder Trevor Lawrence something like that helped establish that lead, a kind of confusing job to somehow stand as the big defensive lineman, but Cookie wonders what would happen if this top LSU team, this offense has been unstoppable, fulfills his ban, gets a talent on defense and falls behind that boyfriend.

Sweeney's team is up by 10 and we're about to find out right now. I wish he had started having fun there as coach of the orange team. It was fun playing in red, but you guys did your job and Higgins was done. It was the physical move to the side of the 5-yard line and you immediately saw Dabo go down and work on the defense trying to get them to respond to that drive and the touchdown put Clemson up. LSU hasn't trailed by double digits all season. another reminder on Saturday night UFC 246 in Las Vegas Conor McGregor's long-awaited return to the Octagon against cowboy battle Serrano is the UFC record for most preliminary victories at 8:00 in the main event on ESPN at 10 :00 ET, but ESPN plus.com/PPV see dabba congratulating Tuscany's loss, not T Higgins just for the blonde neighborhood on the slant Jase got it and the first try through the Eid defender's slants like that was all night, you can't because what he's looking at is the linebackers coming in to stop the run, so he gives any pass option, I usually don't I don't see a quarterback working back, you have to have inside leverage to take out those quick throws, it's great execution, it's hard to stop, just in Jefferson we used to see him hit those sleeves, only one catch so far, four minus one. yard jeomsun brings the pressure, it's built up and now borough is throwing down the fan and is chasing the pickers, the cat turned around and got hit again, he said at the touchdown, if you're going to pressure Joker it's all going to come down whether you get to him or not because if you're going to leave Jamar Chase and Justin Jefferson 101, they're going to keep going downfield because of the confidence they have that they're going to win that one-on-one matchup.

Edwards Alerian first you go, Nolan stops him. Turner, the safety who invaded the backfield, so he plays 52 and 56 yards and the chase is on, that's another of his responses to this pressure: hey, let's get one on one, let's go downfield and make a troll boy, Sweeney, be a complete demon. house like a 40-yard sprint, if you have to get that time where the headphones flew off, he saw something he didn't like down there when LSU went empty. Davos took, I mean, you wonder if I pulled a hamstring, but he runs away. good and warmed up, he does it, runs down the field, full sprint, maybe it's for those kinds of chances that were good, 30 yards, well they were celebrating a few seconds ago, but you can see why even the Wills aren't used to being behind, there is no advantage that is certain.

They've moved dangerously within five yards no, it's great their cannons the confidence that they both encode in their quarterback and that they feel that we're going to keep fighting we're going to continue being aggressive we're not going to go conservative, we're not going to think, oh boy, we've been led astray, let's back off a little, no, no, no, keep going full steam ahead, keep believing in Joe Burrow, keep believing in Trevor Lawrence and make this defense even with this system that has led us a little astray makes them have to answer to us This is great against great LSU is very difficult to stop with their in-town passing game, but Klumps has been the best red zone defense this year as one of the games against Ohio State Edwardsville the air gets busy. movement the burrow blushes in the chase and has to throw it one more time it was a ski skull trying to run over the quarterback they are having a lot of success bringing these blitzes towards the middle the scowling skis are going to split right down the middle between the guard and the tackle no one there you can see a delayed reaction you're just confused you're moving your protection in one direction and they put more pressure in the other it's a free snap to post the snap look what's affecting the offensive line in the past protection for a great use of timeout at this point as a slogan less use now it's third and goal now they're really spreading them out trying to create space and see who can win a one on one battle who glass players at the beginning of a demonstration honey says that games like this it's only four or five plays that will decide the outcome but you never know when they're going to happen it happened in the second quarter of the semifinal LSU takes a timeout before the third and the goal Jill Burrow told us she was planning to quote a fun chess match tonight.

She gets better shots on the sticks and the defense hasn't been as fun as she thought, Kirk, but now, after each side took a timeout, third and goal. of the four and now Joe Brady up with Stevens' finger are you trying to find the matchup are you going to go after Jamar who is facing Tyrell are you trying to take it to Justin Jefferson who is in a slot against Kavon Wallace kicks Wallace is out there ? you have a lot of different options Edwards, the hideout far left, the Tigers have yet to convert on third down tonight, one of those great four point plays, hides inside a run, breaks away and scores well, they got the five fabulous playmakers she got.

Keep an eye on the quarterback too and they said the right thing, they expected a void, potential hinders a lot this year, a pound of void, especially inside that 5 yard line, they brought the Blitz eyes, the seven and the scowl, but he picked it up. The LSU offensive line opened up there for an easy touchdown for Borough. We set up a chess match that went to Brady and Borough freshman kicker Cade York, he's missed four PA Ts on the season even though he works along with field goals and cuts the lead. at three again their ears were touching too much or Chase's long run is out from that position in the slot, they have been moving him and they have been on the right side Dennis, that's the matchup Terrell against Chase, he wins again almost He puts it in the end zone, but we get to a third down and we spread them all over the field, there is the Blitz.

I said all seven came up, but Ed Ingram, the left guard that's in right now, picked it up really well, set that block and makes it easy for Burrow to get into that end zone for the touchdown, so each one of these Prolific quarterbacks who are also dual-threat guys have a rushing touchdown tonight. Donkey is a perfectionist who is almost never satisfied no matter how monstrous the night he has always felt. He can do more or better, never enough. He wants to continue raising the bar. It will be a challenge tonight. He knows that he knew that he was going to add that there was a good chance that this Clemson D scheme would give his offense fits, but they're adjusting.

Well, they got within three points, 75 yards, have a seat. Sienna comes from Jennings when he made his announcement and recruited LSU fans who remember that both of his schools called Death Valley home, but Travis intervened that night. you go next for you, I'll bite my tongue in the real valley of death, the real valley of death, those are fighting words and the ugly side of social media. He received some threats once this confrontation with said LSU fans started harassing his family. who was still smiling while enjoying his experience, a lot of media attention for him this week, he has the ball, he is trying to rebound it and he will crash into a tackler who was taken down by Phillips Maria's pressing moves in that hometown of Jennings, Louisiana, and that.

City that would change someday on Friday even though they are right in the middle of LSU country. The t-shirts were made to support Travis. BTN called the Tigers divided and ultimately called him a ray of light in that city, but Travis said. he got into a sub, guys leading this game, blocking out everything, including mom, so he could focus. You can't hear the static in the underwater canyon. Travis over 4000 runs tonight and 5000 all-purpose and he has it again as he kind of runs out, shows the strength, loses his helmet and draws a flag at the end of the run that will move the ball near midfield .

I think seven Brent Delpit, trying to make an entrance, reached into the mask and ripped the helmet. outside of etn, they were just talking about the automatic first try, Delpit, his fight involves injuries this year, wonderful court, he's having a tough night so far, he's said even without the penalty, look at the physicality, I mean this guy runs hard, leads the nation and yards after contact to go and then you put the mask on the back of that dad plus 15 yards off the back of the helmet he ripped it off. The LSU crowd isn't enamored with the call, empty backfield, then Jay Dixon on the right and Lawrence is watching. the left and now he puts it over the middle over the head of Rogers, who takes a big shot from Stevens and his slowness to get up took a shot right in the back of Stevens, who is sitting back there playing his deep safety spot, you know , that's just a big hit right there on the back of Moammar a Roger z--ball just sailed over Trevor Lawrence had it open not with his shoulder you can see the whiplash effect on Rodgers Bill Lamanna as our rules expert in the cockpit in his opinion it's a good clean hit the hit was good the timing was good it didn't go into the head and neck area he didn't use the crown of his helmet it's a clean hit Stevens is a guy who is no stranger to penalties he's the most penalized guy on LSU's defense, but that's kind of a dream play for a safety.

Oh yeah, you see a willing receiver and you have a chance to hit him, especially if you hit him cleanly. Marya runs off the field. Steven B spoke with Dave Aranda. The LSU defensive coordinator said he knows it really helps set the emotional tone for this defensive veteran who bounces around and plays many different positions and that it's been fun, as he had glimpsed a very sharp defense controlled by LSU from the beginning. , but a couple of touchdowns and nowLawrence and the Tigers get back to work in LSU territory. The way Dabo Swinney left the field was to be taken back to the bench.

I don't know the issue and he's going to move back into the backfield, but they've done it. he lined up Lawrence's shots to eat Zn and heavy traffic unless you got past Kayla on Jason mainly threw to the running back but fell into coverage that tonight I think the entire defense when they saw nine open is an unusual law, there are good chances of him leaving. too easy he did a good job of taking advantage of the ball forcing it back inside it's because of danger and we talk a lot about Venables Aranda can really handle the pressure himself and he has a great pass rusher chasing him strange who is there to break the rim but Lawrence is moves away from the pressure, throws a vague throat to Hickam z, and his fourth down pressure Definity is back in the lineup, comes out fast, no decision about being a little early, just sat down very quickly, has time to make. that pitch and I think maybe he felt a little rushed because on the blind side he felt that blitz coming, maybe he rushed a little bit, but he didn't have much of a chance for Lawrence Divinity, a guy who missed nine games. reports of a fourth positive test for marijuana, he's so eager to make a play here in his hometown, he said all that pent-up anger from all those lost games will come out tonight waiting after the LSU putt once again with a poor field position now for three a person can have the lid the seasonal oven Wilson on the statewide bus is here in New Orleans I could have selected you as tonight's moments of chaos well go back and watch that semifinal game where Ohio State was up 16 and You know, I think the fact that Lawrence was knocked out of the game and then came back the way he came back to be able to lead Clemson to that when 16 carries 107 yards I think it was definitely chaos at home, it showed a different side. . of his athletic ability that night and his toughness as well, unless from the 13 once again Clemson crowds the line, we're trying to figure out where the pressure is coming from, he gets up but shoots up the middle that was over Jefferson's head . they struggled to get the star receiver involved so far tonight, yes normally with Jefferson they like to work the doubler over the crossover, they bring in a lot of receivers typically in front of that coverage, they didn't do it this time, but he can still beat it.

The extended arm of Tanner Hughes, who in this three one seven almost plays linebacker a lot of times tonight, they have him closer to the line of scrimmage. Jefferson, the guy who has one hundred and two receptions this year, hasn't made an impact yet. until now donkey pressed immediately blushing is chased by Simmons who bends for a first down and there you see that the quarterback's speed has been absolutely spent and not only the speed but the recognition where, as I say, Simmons, where is it worthy? He's worried about the down throws, those quick throws, so you can't cover the quick ones and also account for the quarterback, so if you stay there with Perot, he'll make the throw, if you take the pass away from him, will run it. inspects and shoots and as he chases again he gets a free drag to the 45 Jefferson I should say he finally makes an impact play that looks more like what you expect to see look at this open they take Marshall six under he opens the beautiful draw language, that's what the LSU offense is.

It's been the timing and the rhythm this season brought down old Jefferson for good now Edwards solare comes out of the backfield one inning free spin two more bads ago falls inside the 35 let's take a look at that I thought he was out of bounds What an effort So incredible from the talented running back who has been doing much of this season in the backfield! It's such a tough matchup that it's in-bounds in his hand, maybe he touches out-of-bounds to help execute the play and that would establish strength. he comes out of the flat stop, lowers his shoulders inside the 15, the Tigers offense is rolling now and they sure get the ball quickly.

Joe Brady and Stephens believe their adjustment is to attack by hitting the ball quickly so their receivers win these one-on-one battles and now the crowd is booing because Clemson player Tyler Davis, the big, almost 300-pound defensive tackle, falls to the field complaining of an apparent cramp. Hey, we're going so fast, right? That great play by Clyde. Edwards hides in the backfield, this is where they take out Jordan Jefferson. Justin Jefferson took it from left to right. Nobody picks him up and he is dynamic. Edwards Elaire, perhaps the country's leading all-around running back. 50 receptions.coming into this to play look you see on his hand touch his feet they stayed in but the hand touched the ground but they were going so fast that he didn't make it to the replay booth long enough to be able to hit and take another look at that Jerry McMahon is the Pac-12 replay official here Davis continues to stretch again Niles Pinckney, the starting defensive tackle the grad student has played in four playoff games, was crying on the bench before the game with one more year left. . he could come back, but it's a tough way to end the race if you're Pinckney and now Davis has to go, see if that was Nurse Pinkney, but you feel like the ankle injury is the problem.

CFO Davis's injury has been broken, LSU's momentum here, which LSU fans suspect, was the reason throughout the first attempt in six minutes to play group, row, row, row, the real freshman year from Lagos, Nigeria, originally with a fun name to say, filling in for Davis when he had time for this short Snapchat game where on the receivers Nick on Edwards the cape looks at everyone on the same page city from the pocket throws to the touchdown chase in the end zone nlm look who takes their first lead tonight where can jihad leave BAM McAndrews about this matchup and I asked him about what he throws a lot of balls the receivers look covered but he throws them and he scores touchdowns he said , don't go out, the offensive backs don't look, they are open, I don't care if they are in phase or going step by step. my receivers I'm going to throw the ball that's exactly what he does here with Jamar Chase he trusts his receiver to make the matchup play against Taral which is good versus good right here watch him hesitate and then work his way to fame moment of this wait wait He waits almost like he's going to block, he put up decent coverage until the end, but Burrow knows, he sees, he shows, he kind of blinks that he's going to block.

Tyrell didn't bite it, it's still a pretty good cover. That moment between Jobo, these wide receivers we've seen all year chase, he caught his 19th and 20th touchdown receptions tonight, 87 yards in six plays, just two minutes, helped by the fact that Edwards Hilaire touched his hand out of bounds when they did. He wasn't on time on the chase tonight, she said five cats for 147 yards, two touchdowns, he was confident and backs it up, sure we didn't even make it to halftime, he has 147 yards and he's faced Clemson's best cornerback in AJ Terrell and in winning that game, his teammate Jefferson set the CFP record in a single game against Oakland with 227 receiving yards on 14 receptions.

The chase could chase that record tonight if that holds true this season for every field goal and extra point made by two schools. The entire state makes a contribution to the general scholarship fund. Thanks Allstate tonight Curt Trevor Lawrence and hits, takes over behind for the first time tonight and the noise returns to the dome. People have spent the entire game on their feet. Lawrence Corral. who shoots and a one-handed catch made wonderfully by Teagan's long arms Wow, but a Fulton that was impressive, you know. T Higgins had a tough night against Ohio State. Really all of Clemson's wide receivers had a tough night and all of their hands were a good catch there by T.

Higgins, even when he goes down to the ground, they were challenged all year long, you're going to take a look at this, take a look. I guess when it came to the surface we'll see if the ball moved when it came down with it. I mentioned Higgins was knocked out in the first quarter, it was a concussion concern, they checked him out at halftime and he came back in the third quarter, so how safe did he make four catches? Who was the first party to land there? Looks like that foot was on target, look at that, the left foot does come down, yeah boy, I thought the left foot never came down.

It seems that I thought about it again. I know the left foot would come down right there and it never quite touched. Yes, although right in Fulton. his physical play forced the receiver after that. I assumed the left foot went down, especially we're watching it live. How about that toe? Somehow it never hits the ground. Some fans say wait a second. Now quickly scroll down for a replay review. I hate you, they're bringing this one back to carry, go out to the 36, a gain of 16 or 11 yards, it'll be second and 10, your Vic nana has the final say, but there are two people in the PAC command center. 12 in the Bay Area also weighed in on these replay reviews tonight.

LSU fans are convinced the replay is a foregone conclusion. Clemson's receivers admitted to admitting us to Ohio State's corners. Damon Arnett and Jeffrey Hakuna did a good job blocking them at the line of scrimmage, they didn't have a great game and they've been challenged these last two weeks to try to take a step forward in this game. They already saw the ball at the 25-yard line, we don't have an official verdict for it. Chris is shy, but here's a clue that he's second and 10. Hey, they're looking at two things: He maintained possession and got a foot, which he landed first.

It seems like everyone is aware of what's going on, even Clemson's offense is already friendly. to advance as if it were second at 10 they hate to see where the ball was placed after review the past is incomplete we will be in second place please reset the game clock to 5 minutes 14 seconds 5 14 you also don't think you got a foot on the field, thank you, you heard, we talked about this battle on both sides between the talented receivers and the talented defensive backs. It's been interesting to watch so far, really, like I said, I mean it. David challenged himself to try to improve LSU's plays a lot. man-to-man very similar to the way Ohio State challenged them and succeeded and they were determined to be able to get out of the press and win several inside passes each year.

Well, now that traffic can't cross that entrance. for a bigger game, Shane Lee got into the ground along with Delpit, but it's a first down and Trevor Lawrence, very patiently, got it close to Jacoby Stephens so he could then flip it down to get the ball and then have the opportunity to follow her. guard John Simpson around hid behind him and accelerated for that first down this happened quickly but the number nine has the ball in his hands they fake it Lawrence wanted a shot downfield takes a hit and throws a takedown just as he was Fulton Coverage right there, we didn't have a chance to make a play and Rashard Lawrence hit the quarterback, yeah, Lawrence got and came out on a block like Simpson and I really think Lawrence feels that and that's what forced him to get rid of that ball. able to really move forward and it affected the effect of the accuracy of that throw that Lawrence hit Lawrence and now there's a man deep in the LSU secondary and it's Delpit who's kneeling, you talk about the intensity of this game, the emotions They can also have a physical effect, we see players cramping, man this has been a high energy back and forth first half, everything you would expect, I mean there are some challenging aspects, early responses, bye, LSU is the kind of trust in brains. of figuring out Venables and how he's attacking and creating some one-on-one matchups for Jamar Chase.

How about Clemson? They backed them within their own five. They responded. They scored a touchdown. It's the kind of game we were hoping to see. I hope it lasts like this for the four quarters. We are so competitive that we wonder how LSU responded with double digits for the first time this season, responded with a couple of touchdowns and the offense with a solid foundation, nothing is easy for Perot. Not tonight so far, but he responded that the chase has been the most important weapon and one wonders what Brent Venables will do in response: is he going to bracket Jamar Chase, which we then open up to Jefferson or could he open up to others, that's what makes LSU so good on offense, if you try to take away one guy, they'll find the other potential matchup that's either a mismatch or an advantage for them replacing the Thorpe Award like a true freshman, Moe Hampton of Memphis number 14 in his name of security. second deep center field and 10 D took the hand off an e TN, no, the big defensive end grabbed it for a loss, but a great play by Clint Logan right here branches around the guardright Cervenka, look at those glutes, they sweat, they move big hands, keep in mind the size 315 pounds junior most consisted of the leader really leaders of that defensive line not known for quickness on the inside of that defense, but Darren Logan really did showed they bring out the big bodies the 360 ​​pounds Chauvin steps aside you only have one true defensive lineman There, along with a pass rusher JSON on third down, Lawrence Scrolls moves away from the pressure and is incomplete, a high throw intended for Higgins very Well defended by Vincent Jr. that was a high troll but a catchable ball that Higgins can make.

I mean, this is a long shot, good coverage size advantage with Higgins, that's why they put it in, that's why Lawrence put it high where 6:40 Higgins can go up on Vincent, who 510 but tight coverage, let's see it was a tackle to lose that possession that ruined the Clemson Drive and now 349 before the half count, unless who's going to get the ball back with a four-point lead, it's a deep, deep punt from spiers individually. lets it bounce and that punt team that has been busy and effective for the Tigers tonight once again LSU fell back within the five when we have been marveling at Jamar chasing all year the sword that called the winner the moment of execution with Joe Burrow slow start for this offense but one adjustment is getting him ISIL, top number eight corners, Jeffrey Blank, great athletic ability, keep up with LSU's number one, see if Brent Venables will make adjustments to try to slow him down trying to get a safety over to help. came out tremendous, but Kirk for spiers 58 yards and LSU for the third time starts within its own 10 airs of Edwards Hill got the ball if it's a cue and runs running towards the 30 man, it's fun to watch, it sure is and it will be better that you have done it. your head up and a change you better have your head up and you better finish look at this move right there on AJ Taral the fourth that is trying to establish that advantage look at this abruptness to the quickness the boy will witness the jump short his Edwards bike, he'll go up in the air, he gets down the field and he picks up positive yards here on 1st and 10 against the four-man pressure, there's still pressure and he escaped, he bobbled, Paul recovered it, but it's a big waste of nine.

Tyler Davis, the freshman, came in there. There's a lack of communication with Joe Borough and his receivers, so often in this system you need to read the same coverage, you need to see the exact same thing and that time the girl wanted to go deep to her right, but Clyde Edwards was the mantle she had. to Moshe. lined up there were evenly matched and he didn't run the deep route, bro, the surprise had just surprised Aidid so much that he threw the ball second sack for Clemson and second and 19 burl against a crooked pass rush, inaccurate throw to Marshall third and a mile to Sometimes you don't even have to apply pressure, you don't have to blitz Scouse Key, you don't have to bring backs or safeties, you just use that spin so you can try to affect the eyes and try to affect that offense.

Alliance communication now because of that sack on first down, look at this third down and 19, good luck against Venables defense, yes they bring pressure and where it will come from. Skis with a frown were very successful on the third attempts to get home, we use on the left edge number 47, we are 11 Clemson Tiger defenders near the line like the night scene, so they call for a game of chess with timeout and Nate Guy, 8 guys in the box, all capable of attacking and you're looking at Joe Burrow and he's looking at that defense, he's trying to set up that protection and it's a little bit of a guessing game trying to figure out where from that pressure could come, then again they could show it and then just bail themselves out and get out of it, Nick Saban said. from the previous game he thought the key which defense could affect the opposing quarterback is the most both defenses have had success Nick will join Maurice and Desmond the Mercedes-Benz halftime report just 229 away that was the key to really get everyone in is what can you do?

To slow down, you're looking at a quarterback and Joe Broz will most likely be the first overall pick this year. Trevor Lawrence will be the first pick next year. Someone has been getting seasoned little by little. Except, of course, who won a championship. in this building for LSU and against LSU and Alabama Joanne Deauville put on her headphones probably talked to Joe Brady to get an idea here on third down we'll see that often in timeouts it's just a three-man rush and burl throws down , bear that Marcel interfered and that will give LSU a first down.

Darian Kendrick was defeated and got there very early. Remember we talked about how you're going to show potential pressure and then you're going to be able to get out of it. Simmons' music that they're showing you and then. They come out of there at the end he should have three automatics and he just cut me he has eight guys that the coverage girls still challenge them with a bowl that is poorly thrown and that's really what forced Kendrick to run into Marshall Mann's graveyard some things that sting a defense more than a pass interference penalty on third and 19 on a ball thrown underneath with eight in coverage the automatic first down moves the ball to the LSU 36 with one timeout remaining inventables gummit we're almost out of the field against these boys You will receive the ball to start the second half as an opportunity to increase the lead before half-time.

The clock runs down 3-2. They just broke it. The three-man race comes out. You chase again. Hurts. Clemson forces down into Clemson territory. you press something you get nervous they're going to pass you for a touchdown release, show Preston Trump what they're going to get, you're going to give them space, it's throw and catch, it's very simple for him to find that space and make that quick slant throw, accelerate the rhythm of the play action, digging, looking for a shot downfield. He wasn't there, but he lunges forward. Kowski grabs him after a brief gain. Good coverage that time from AJ Terrell on the field.

He wanted to blame himself. Go with the rhythm. He tries to catch Terrell sleeping. I see him looking to the left. He wants to unload that on the left wing. way they have all year to chase Jamar and because of that Terrell coverage they can eventually bury Van Kirk, this possession feels really important, sure LSU is on top getting the ball again in the third quarter here, the devil in the middle eight, Smitty talks about the last four and first four minutes of each half Clemson, his own vet, historically LSU trying to change those burrow worms to break free.

If he didn't get sacked, he actually moved about three yards away from the play when he bit the flex inside his three one seven. You're really guessing where this pressure is coming from and they're confusing the offensive line. The only problem is they're getting there but they're not tackling Joe Burrow, he's getting positive yards instead of getting that deep sack and now he's third. and five instead of 9 or 10 we are manageable but this seal only 1 of 5 on 3rd down tonight the chase space on the right becomes the pressure burrow he turns it over and is chased causing the catch to hit the tackler The Senate Tempered is so forced down again, so Justin Jefferson has started to get involved now, but as soon as he sold that Jefferson has a chance here against Kowski, he wants that matchup right there, that's exactly what he found, he's able to do that shot down the middle, incomplete pass, Scouse key. was on the coverage board that trying to find Marshall Scouse, he's a great linebacker, a leader inspires his defense, helps set the tone, having a great night tonight, they've been pushing him a lot, but when he's underneath in coverage, it's him if there's space. that's what Burrell wants to try to exploit 28 seconds LSU still with the timeout at second and san burro doesn't want to take a sack in this field position he just throws it out of bounds yeah they're down they have one time get out with 21 seconds this is not an offense normally thanks to everything you know let's settle for a field goal let's go to the middle of the field you know until they have to settle for a field goal they're attacking that's been their trademark all year their new offense that Steven Swinger and Joe Brady have called are surprised even on third down, they try to find a game and shoot, if they settle for a field goal attempt, it would be 52, which would equal the length of the freshman year Kate York.

They scored all three and LSU didn't want to have to do it, but now Kurt spends his last timeout. It took Berto too long to adjust things there, yes, he is angry too. I think he got mad at LSU and ended up being the boss. coach coach Oh called a timeout, he was worried that the game clock couldn't afford another five yards here, in the end, you're trying to stay within field goal range and Joe Burrow had a reaction: if you know, he hit the ball in his hands as it is if he was frustrated with the sidelines I think the coach was always frustrated there tonight, yeah, he didn't, he didn't really care about that answer, they ended up using their last timeout, which is critical.

I know they do a good job snapping the ball, but Clemson has done a pretty good job of pressuring and confusing the offensive line with pre-snap and post-snap looks, which weighs down that timeout definitely has to impact the play. I really have to take a field goal team out, yeah, yeah. I mean, you're talking about getting a first down and hoping the clock stops going out of bounds or, like you said, being in a hurry if they come up short and stay in. jump field goal team ready to run unless burrow can gain 10 yards here zelich takes a shot right here donkey takes everything that gets clearer gets to blair makes a cut and he's not deaf at five that's brave without timeout but It works, sure the center block followed, they cleared again to take advantage of his athletic ability, no one in the middle after that block by the center cushion, Barry and what can accelerate, you know, between He and Lawrence are known for their skill. to throw but both can hurt you if you forget about his legs a 29 yard run again no timeouts 1st and goal 14 seconds Burroughs has that internal clock if he's throwing it runs out in less than 2.5 because the pressure gets him out quickly touchdown dad Aswath just standing still and LSU extends the lead before halftime 95 yard touchdown drive but one of his best friends on the team gave him enough time to get that ball out, he took a shot from Scouse Key, you could see the grimace and the pain that pay. the price for his 58 touched beyond the season and Randy Moss is just an LSU fan, a proud father tonight, but he scored the third touchdown of the season with Boston, an 11-point lead on LSU after they were down for ten and they receive the ball like you.

He said going into the second half you'd see the doctors checking Joe Burrow, here's the big run, third down and ten, what are you going to do? Look at the blocks downfield, he's aiming trying to get one more block to try to get. he gets into the end zone and wisely goes out of bounds and this is great, it's a great decision once they get into the red zone. A great decision by the LSU think tank. They found a coincidence that he recognizes as a direct bombing right here. the inside and what a great job by moss, instead of taking that to the corner, he sits down to give borough the chance to throw it into that hole in his, he's got the bulletproof vest, but Scouse Key is the tougher hitter.

On this defense, you know, his dad, who was the linebacker, told him something: when you hit another player, you make them feel it and he does it, yeah, four, oh, what a loss for Moss, they couldn't see it there, Chris, but I was going to enter. the corner recognizes that Kendrick was in the zone and just said and calmed down big credit from the tight end to LSU a 21 point run scoring touchdowns on their last three possessions this gives you a really good feeling and you look at this instead of continue here he just calms down, sees that calms down and Joe Burrows saw the same thing, that's what you have, we have two best friends, they see the same thing and instead of throwing that in the corner, he runs the right route and Joe Perot puts it right on the money and now Colt Brennan has been caught with three touchdown passes in the first half, not exactly the seven he had in the first half against Oklahoma, but it's a new FBS record and you'd like to know your chances of fully owning it before it runs out. fact, Trevor Lawrence took a knee, thumbs, his defense was so dominant from the start, you think we're doing a great job with Joe Burrow, he threw for 270, has a career for 55, the lead is 11, 28 points, 359 yards from Tracking down over 700 yards of offense on 56 points now, how would LS respond?

No, they have responded strongly andHere's Ed or the Tom Rinaldi drama, which went from double digits down the first time this season to double digits up. What changed, the big game has a male field position at the beginning. We started clicking on the offense and figured out what they were going to do. Now we moved the ball. We made some critical stops without defense. This is a great football game. How do you take advantage of this momentum you have? We got the ball in the second half. we have to go down to the field we have a score we have to stop keep playing for 60 minutes when are you going to be like this in the championship game I appreciate it come on Titans let's go with Maria thank you Tom will coach LSU with a score that will go to halftime will be the key to holding the clock, well, first of all, finish your third nineteen very sloppily and we get a bad P.

I'm just not playing smart right now, they did this and they're going to make some plays, a couple of shots at number one. It's just a great place, they've got great players in a pretty good position, you know? But just the dunking and really disappointing stuff and how we finished and especially there in the third nineteen, we just had to play smarter, you know? And then we did it. We didn't play. I thought we had two bad possession offenses, so come in here, let's calm down, it's going to be a long time, this is going to be a battle in the second half, we have two great teams and you know, now they're up, look how. we're done, I think I got it, there's some urgency because the deep grooves are coming that will be on the field trying to prevent this league from getting a bigger LSU 206 at nine yards of offense in the second to turn the fire up by 11 in the next half time. until the next Mercedes-Benz halftime report scheduled for the second half LSU in a twenty-one sip before eleven comes the football playoff national championship game presented by AT&T unless you get the ball first in the third fourth after being blocked earlier, but did not get it going. four touchdowns in the last five possessions, but Burrows took a big hit from the stronger hitter's run.

His defense game comes. Skull Ski. You see that left arm pinned against his side grimacing in obvious pain. He didn't want to be touched by the coach to keep him. away from me Kirk, you didn't spend much time in the locker room, you came back and rode your bike for a long time at halftime to try to stay loose. Yeah, I haven't seen that very often at halftime, a starting quarterback comes out trying to stay loose, it looked like a shot to the rib area, although it can be very, very painful, but you're right, what an incredible turnaround. of events in the way this game started, where Venables was confusing my brother, especially his offensive line, these last four or five possessions.

They got back on track and really proved to be the LSU offense we've seen for most of the year. Burrow is back on his feet pitching after we saw him on the bike and Tom Rinaldi has more off the LSU bench like you said. Kirk, how weird is it to see the starting quarterback come out with more than ten minutes left after halftime, get on the bike, like you mentioned, for about three minutes, which happened, take that shot to the heart on the last touchdown. Drive just before the end of the half. On his way out of the field, he said to his teammates, Chris, don't touch me, don't touch me, sir, not that absurd thing in that area of ​​the ribs.

He got off the bike and made an extended movement. If you'll see how he reacted when throwing the passes, the field made a slight grimace would certainly be something to watch out for, safety Grant Delpit also stands out, he was in the locker room before the half ended with his hands directly to the left, we'll have to see how he holds up and I thank Tom LSU. Capital One rewards performance with more yards against bunches in the second quarter than they give up and correct play. Yes, the big job is seeing his decision making and his ability to make throws to these talented receivers in that first half with the adjustment that he got. and it's in the void where you can throw it, where you can execute the football with precision heading down the field, where tomorrow you've been winning one on one and then the ability to see that and the toughness that Tom just alluded to in receiving that hit after having hit. that break throw for a touchdown Burrell looks to throw Osmonds' first play throws over his head look at the way they can start if you're just tuning in there are the first three tribes just couldn't do anything in the coach Oh reference this with Tom Rinaldi are pinned inside their own 10-yard line and on the first series, but Brent Venables put together a package to confuse them and, boy, they settled in, made adjustments in the game and gave Donkey and his receivers a chance to make On many plays, Jefferson got off to a slow start but got into the act for the chasing catches in the backfield as they have shown in the last two games and darts along the fire to the other side and makes the catch . by moss, they'll be a few yards away from a first down, you know, you might wonder why they would move client Edwards, the cape who is as effective a running back as a wide receiver and move across the top receiver into the backfield. and again, it's about giving a different look, creating some potential confusion and eventually creating a confrontation, perhaps with Jamar chasing the linebacker one-on-one coming out of the backfield immediately, a big play in the third quarter heading to get off the field and keep the burrow from stretching this double digit shape that shows a lot of pressure that's what Burrell looks over and receives confirmation only some of the receivers are on the right here comes the burrow Blitz they're going to invade it, they didn't choose got up but he didn't make a quick enough decision and that's a big catch for Clemson Logan Rudolph and Scowl Ski yeah Christenbury center has a tough decision to make because he's got Tyler Davis facing him here and he's got the key of the Scouts.

Upon getting there, he can't take the two guards who aren't there to help him, he has to let one of them go and eventually they both reach Joe Pearl. They are on that third attempt. Clemson now has 45 sacks on the season for five straight years. of over 40 sacks, yes three tonight, there is a flag on the punt hit from the 10 yard line, they interfered with the returner, it will improve Clemson's field position, you really can't overstate how crucial that was stop the bleeding if your vegetables on the Clemson defense believe in his return a bill that you fall a teenager in something else Maria well Chris DuBose Sweeney said as he left the locker room his message was simple to his team that we have been here before the game ago they were down by 16 against Ohio State, who reminded them to keep playing they can make the plays they are your job, not the fan's, cuts them in half.

Thanks Maria, that's a costly penalty for softly Kirkland, the backup catcher on special teams. Lawrence takes over exactly at midfield and HCN buys the left side just a two yard gain, you know Clemson normally. In fact, they make big adjustments at halftime if you look at the last three playoff games and Clemson has played and only allowed the seven points they've captured more than they've given up in those three games so their defense can keep them in. . their game is exactly how they needed to start the second half, the feed is gone and they now have great field position, see if they can capitalize on Laurens breaking adjustments at second, there is a matchup they can win.

The TSE is on the move. Lawrence is watching. in the middle and is the rookie of the matchup, he pointed out that he was caught by Higgins, who hasn't been active enough so far, took a big hit there from the Pitt safety who was coming up trying to break up the ball. I went around him because it's a matchup that they feel good about with Higgins, you see the outside leverage opens up that quick slant and that way there's a big hit right in the thigh area of ​​Higgins that takes down Delpit who is an accomplished center fielder but He's played closer to the line of scrimmage to make impact room like that this season he struggled with injuries throughout the good news is that Higgins is up and walking on you and I was talking at halftime.

I realized he was looking at all the different statistics. One that really stood out to me was that I thought Higgins had a chance to have a big night tonight against the style of coverage that these backs play with outside leverage he only had one catch. I know he had the reverse for the touchdown, but a catch again with his best receiver against man to man, has to win. this second half to separate a lot of time on the first down another pre-snap chess game Lawrence and they pick up the pressure classes are released, they grab his mask it will be a penalty from LSU, they will take him down at the 30 and he will move 15 more yards near the goal line.

Shea Jr. grabbed the massive chase by trying to buy over the protection of that offensive line is very good coverage chase downfield by just trying to grab his arm, they try to affect Trevor Lawrence and he clearly grabs that mask, so two crucial penalties for part of LSU, one interferes with the punt returner now that a personal foul comes up, I could ask for a better start, there are a lot of people who have watched LSU this year and look at the way the first half ended and I thought, wow, they scored at the end of the first half, they're going to get the ball to start the second half, there's a chance they go up 35 17, that's a big hole to try to come back against Joe Burrow, they get it. a three and now inside the red zone they have us for a touchdown here to get to 28 24 utn powerful run down inside the 10 crashed into Patrick Queen's line back I love watching him run came in as a freshman from the state Louisiana, I think we all saw him that first year and I said, look at his acceleration, this guy, his first two or three steps can carry five people and in his second year he got a little bigger and in third gear he got bigger. patient. powerful in his lower half, punch, runs through those arm tackles, has him running through tackles again, will be first and the goal gives a thumbs down to all three impressed by that offensive line here on this series, they didn't think they could have much success because of the mass of that interior, but here these last two plays, boy, they are challenging the interior of the LSU defense running at them, Tian again muscles the Clemson touchdown and they take the lead, a perfect start to the second half for the Tigers close to a Clemson fan that's exactly what you wanted to see the Clemson offense looks like maybe it's going to stay on the field let's make sure it came in broke the game before touching his knee bunt looked like he definitely crossed there putting the ball on the left hash was AT&T's pylon cam as they continue to make sure he broke the plan it looks like he did so they'll go 4-2 to reduce it to one game three points.

Many coaches sometimes believe in analysis. We're scratching our heads as fans wonder what the heck it's so early why they're doing this, but these new analytics tell coaches to do some things like this. Boras ducks under pressure. The thought of the delivery is that Lemuria Rogers has it and that is the first successful double point of his. conversion and suddenly it's a three point play 50 yard drive after the penalty on the punt in six plays 237 awesome in the locker room waiting for the defense, I'm sure they can stop it, they do, they give the ball back to Trevor Lawrence with that great foot position offensive line quarterback receivers in the back BTN a perfect first drive for Clemson I have even Orleans good team but in the aerial coverage we present the new honorary member of the College Football Hall of Fame blimp Goodyear Goodyear more motivated Coming soon, don't miss an exclusive look at Marvel Studios' new film, Black Widow, coming out in May.

This has changed Kirk's complexion here. I think the LSU faithful, that great leader, his offense is on, but we have this, yeah, but all of a sudden Clemson comes back. The Kings two weeks ago against Ohio State came within three major penalties by LSU, helping that last Rob force Joe Burrow with Joe Brady. Look at all these quarterbacks that have come up again, he's just knocking them out. Avoid color. The girls fall. each other hurts one guy left they haven't taken down Lawrence yeah that's not safe dodge the ball caught our Vince Vaughn is in the house he's kind of adopted LSU who's there in the SEC champions our hands big fan of the college football like your bench girl to work now the leader suddenly only three bringing those tight divisions condense the formation here on first and 10 the 22 guys close oneon the other they bury themselves once again they sat down for four times Isaiah Simmons went up when you bring in tight receivers look how many bodies you have inside In this area here there are a lot of different guys that can potentially blitz.

They bring in Tanner Muse. Isaiah Simmons is the one who finally comes home when he's taken off the edge. He has been able to get there and has a great feeling of security. just win the Blitz, but just those instincts to get to the quarterback second and 15 a big part of the distribution is that it makes it easier to identify where the pressures are coming from, we wonder if Brady is going to sideline Kirk that group formation, yes, and again, these three. The flame front gives Brent Venables a lot of different looks, they pull away and run again, they get a lot of yards beating Kendrick and setting up third and short, now Kendrick ends up backing up and creating space and again to me, that's the disaster.

Disaster when you give space to Jamar Chase and Justin Jefferson underneath, you got it, you have to mix it up. I get it, the guy with the burrow and those receivers underneath so they have room. They're lethal, virtual third down here, so they're tight. With his coverage, obviously, third and short center, the board takes him out almost intercepted. Oh Nolan Turner, who made the decisive pick against Ohio State, jumped with the ball in his hands. I know he did it. He jumped around Chris, but had to dodge a throw. field, they saw him man to man, they watched him work around that field and their eyes go up in anticipation of the great football job of working traffic jumping the route and if he comes up with that catch, Turner could be a hero again, remember the Hero against the Buckeyes with the decisive interception.

They burned him all night and that made the decisive pick when Olave went down in the end zone. Vaughn Rosenberg bounces out of bounds for Clemson to return the ball to just three of you watching the Culture Bowl playoff national championship game. presented by AT&T the College Football Playoff National Championship Game presented by AT&T is presented by Dr Pepper Iced the Official Drink of Fellow Capital One Fans What's in Your Wallet and Taco Bell's Crazy Party Pack It's Hard to Match this building for Magical moments in a variety of sports Brady's first Super Bowl here Michael Jordan first announced himself as a shooting superstar when he was a fellow freshman Anthony and Syracuse won a title in Dear Key Smart Beat Syracuse Chris Webber Time Out Watch both fights Muhammad Ali regained the title in a rematch against Spinks and Leonard, frustrated, it is finally said that there is no moss in this building, no one said no, Moss here, that's incredible, which one is yours, which one It's the one that catches your attention the most, everything that's out there, yeah, we should have been here. that tape, this heavyweight fight, Clemson scored the first eight points and they go to number eight, Justin Ross, who struggled but it's a first down close to 30.

I love you when you take the athletic Trevor Lawrence to the limit or have other levels . concept a deep intermediate on a shot underneath gives him the option to run it or throw it makes a good shot there at first and 10 Tigers thought they were going to increase the pace slow things down a control of the cards on the wings that are hitting the wing closed in the first half, Brennan Galloway, when he flexed it like that, it's something they'll probably come back to at some point in the second half, play action, zipper on the ball, point, juggling, it's the catch was made, yeah , Joseph had to make it look difficult, but he picked it up.

What they're saying now is incomplete, oh really, I thought that ball must have fallen off the ground because it ended up in his arms. They go after Fulton. I haven't gone after Stingley on the other side, the freshman, but they've been attacking a guy I still can't see where he hit the ground, I sure did, so it's second and ten Thunder revue, yeah, hit the hands, the knee, no. I don't think he hit the ground although I see the referee trying to look around the bodies to get a closer look hello there it is yeah take it back it went off the ground Jacoby Stephens and the cover there so I'm Peyer whoever leaned over to take a look at that didn't make the right call, good call by the official, he's right and like I said, they're going after Christian Fulton, whether it's T Higgins or in Ghana, in this case, the freshman from DES. like that matchup against one that's a trade, generally, teams have really pursued Derek Stingley more than Fulton.

He's earned quite a reputation as a freshman with six interceptions, but people generally aren't easy to chase down any of the second-10 interceptions. again with Stevenson Queen Rogers came into motion they turned him back to eat Zn who receives a pig and a short game Justin Ross makes a block there on Patrick Queen who ended up making the tackle that is a touchdown there is no one left to stop and he caught up with e t n/8 white saves today was patient waited season from behind was a miss blocked by Justin bad so that says he said a big touchdown for the Tigers like Cervenka: pushed the player in the back and ran away third and seven Lawrence throws high from the hands and they die by incomplete Vincent came in diving trying to push the carom but they are four down but they are waiting for a man to man so they will go when they come across it, but they kind of disguise it, they sit and They play at home and once they bowl in the air in the middle of the defense, I mean, it's a dream for LSU, somehow that ball hits the ground before the safety, Nickelback Vincent, can find a pick.

So reach out to the quarterback who had a long street, that interception was close tonight. There are no picks for Trevor Lon since week eight. More than 200 attempts are not as good as most. Inspires previous punts and Sydney comes to me with a fair reception at the 32 yard line. 36 yard punt, let's shoot again to gain three still, the first half started with Jobber, oh and LSU made three and went out twice, like this It's exactly how the second half started, when Clemson really turned up the pressure by being more aggressive trying to get Joe. Burrell before he can get them, especially on downfield throws and Joe looked a little irritated coming off the field.

You know, we mentioned that he was riding his bike at halftime and he's showing a little frustration at not looking the same as he does now. Coming to his path, I wonder if the frying pan and then the chef at Duke Michalski are playing a role in the fact that he's already been looted four times and has a lot of doubts, not showing it there while picking up ten with running back Tom Kirk What do I use? It's to capture something, whether it's irritation or, as Chris suggested, a doom, you could certainly see Jo Burrows sink a little deeper in the rush, but he hasn't played, that's by far the average game action more monstrous that is launched down the field.

On the open-headed chase, the LSU fans wanted a flag, but that's really unattainable, so they run the ball with the quarterback even though he's not feeling 100%, they go right back to a field goal. down and Chase has a couple of steps there. Kendrick, who is one on one without a safety on top, grabs it, looks like pass interference, but I agree with you Chris, the ball went by him once he grabbed it, so second down mock of Keillor Key moving just behind the nose. The tackle was rushed and once again the movement of the groceries is causing some hesitation and confusion for us at five yards.

T Higgins enters the locker room. He remembers he took that shot. It looks like he went in the thigh area. He goes into the locker room to check. him out, I'm with you Chris, that all that Scouse movement is key, other guys are looking at LSU looking to get the check, there's a lot going on for both sides and it costs five yards, every defensive coach in the SEC said the same thing . You better change it. He looks different, defense formation and a direct career option from it. Oh, let the plate collars not be too worried about the health of the quarterbacks, there is not much game there, it will be the third law in the edition of the opening segment of the game tonight.

I said that. Joe Perrault plays quarterback like a middle linebacker, you know he was a two star recruit, not highly recruited, he said he played defensive safety most of his younger career so he doesn't care about the physicality and , although he is hurt, he is not going to back down. He, of course, is an offensive guy in the family, his father and older brothers were defensive players at Nebraska. Here we're going to see how they try to pressure when they beat the defensive linemen, but Skull Ski comes and I can chase him, get there, yes he can sir. he accepts that the attackers make the Cowboys run into the red zone.

It is important to be a good athlete as an offensive lineman. A left tackle keeps an eye on Charles on the block and how he simply turns the defender inside and chases the boundary. gives him a chance to come out to use his speed LSU was deadly in the red zone three trips to the red zone three touchdowns in the first half Wow, Jefferson pays the prices skal ski is on the wood tonight big hit there but great focus and concentration by Jefferson, who is very confident in handing off to all these receivers, they catch the ball with their hands, you see his eyes looking knowing he was about to get hit, but he did a good job turning and protecting the ball again.

We knew it was going to be force on force. they are so accurate, so sophisticated down here, Clemson is so strong and stingy in the red zone that they will stop and review whether or not Skal Ski aimed on that hit against Jefferson, so this is a very important review of Kowski, a part incredibly important defender and we will bring in Bill Demonte. The hull floor was lowered on Jefferson Bill. What is your opinion on this head? If he was on the field or in it he lowered his helmet. Forced contact with his crown on the helmet.

This is a fabric to target. That's exactly what we saw with Ohio State against Clemson when Sean Wade lowered his head and wore the crown of his helmet. You know, he's a different player. There's a receiver here, but it's the same principle using that helmet crown. catches so that he is no longer helpless, so only the crown of the helmet is applied correctly and the crown is used here strongly and for the fans' account, it does not matter if it is helmet to helmet when it comes to the crown, no matter where the defender is. hits exactly I don't have to hit you in the head technically from head to toes I basically can't throw at you scouts keep an old school linebacker still wears that neck brace we said they say it as a compliment when he hits it's like had concrete on his helmet and this is a huge decision that they marked him for targeting, he took him off the field, Jake Venables Brent Brent comes into play, down, skele seven, disbelief, that's the leader, that's the glue for that front in a big part of how they tried to defend tonight he, concussed, has to leave the field, go to the locker room, target controversial rules, many fans just hate him, but like Sean Waits, the hit on Lawrence is the letter of the rule and Brent Venables as We told Jake Venables, who has played quite a bit this year as a physical linebacker, but it's not just the physicality, it's the scheme knowledge that Kowski provided.

Now Venables will have to understand, align, attack and be effective first, goal and immediate. try through this tiger, see if that's it: his leader backs off, he flips him, the analyzer catches him, he makes noise, he has no signal, he lands a second time, the tight end has found the end zone. Menem returns to the purple and gold tomorrow, it tasted good, you have to be. Be careful with these photos, you have to make it look like you're spinning because it was a good job getting in Kendrick's way to open up that tight moss floor and Thaddeus Moss evens his season touchdown total of two with two tonight.

Is his foot out of bounds before the ball broke the plane? They have to look at their quad chart in two different and coordinated repetitions. It's difficult to tell the ball with your foot outside. Bill, what's your opinion after seeing both angles before putting your feet down? I've got the ball breaking the plane of the goal line, we've got a touchdown, you've got skulls coming into the locker room, boy, what a huge last two minutes of this game, what Bill was referring to before he walked out. break the plane whose look from the AT&T pylon key you'll see the clip of their stack of reviews on camera was deleted by two players there, it's hard to say for sure, so unless they can find your rebuttable evidence that that doesn't It was thus a touchdown that would stand and that is not only a touchdown that will extend LSU's lead while waiting for the p80 to return to double digits, but now without Skull Ski, that is a deflating blow for a resistant and very minded team. tough, but this is a challenge for Clemson.

Absolutely, I'm not only trying to overcome the deficit but losing the leader of that defense in the middle. By the way, a really well designed game, like I said, JamarChase had to be careful while he was setting that screen up to open. put it tight so it looks like you're running a route instead of blocking, he talked about the big matchup versus the big matchup. LSU's red zone offense against Clemson's red zone defense, a huge advantage. LSU if this touchdown stands, that's four TDs and four reds. zone trips at Clemson, she's not used to being mesmerized here in that department one more look, maybe it's the best angle, it's the ball from the referee's field on the other side of the plane, right there, yes, Foot Bill said right there , perhaps just a fraction before the left toe touches the target. and that's all it has to be and it has to be irrefutable to remove the decision and I think it will stand, yes, Bill, I would actually confirm that, yes, I have the ball breaking the plane before it falls.

I think it's excellent. referee's call at the goal line here's the play design I talked to Chase about look at it you had to be careful setting up the screen and making it look like he's running a route he does a pretty good job even though he has arms extended. he got his way and freed Moss to play guitar with his fourth touchdown pass tonight, the second for his good friend. Moss now has the FBS single-season touchdown record to himself, being applauded and momentarily with Colt Brennan and LSU appears to be making a comeback. up by 10 with York in for Petey Woody's 3 yard screen to chase down Kirk once again with a big impact, play the spark into a touchdown and the lead is 10 with 5:13 left in the 3rd quarter for Trevor Lawrence and Los Tigres should try to insert a good team providing aerial coverage.

The best part of every kickoff is the momentum that follows. Go further with Goodyear more powered. Right next to the Superdome is the Smoothie King Center, home of the Pelicans and they will host the Clippers at 3:30 ET on Saturday on ABC trying to get Zion Williams back healthy and into primetime audience LeBron and Lakers at the top of the Western Conference face Harden and Westbrook and the Rockets both games are streaming on the ESPN app, so once again. the deficit is double digits for Lawrence and the Tigers and the kickoff slips away from each and will be a touchback, so Trevor has proven his toughness and his stamina and will now answer to the belt once again.

Curt, I'm sure he will. I have to say that for Clemson to continue to counterattack, it means that Trevor Lawrence in the passing game we're going to be able to have to make some big plays and Lawrence is more than capable, obviously, of doing that, but will we? It's time to throw and fool your receivers, help them out and try to win. Go ahead, remember that you are going after Fulton, one trying to stay away from Stingley, not to say that eventually you will not try to go that route towards the limit in the Lawrence, last without a touchdown pass tonight, has a streak of 24 in a row with the TDs that have contained him as a runner so far tonight, much better than Ohio State, but that's a good first down play, yeah, that defense is focused on trying. to take away nine and his explosive ability, the linebackers flowed that way and gave him a nice crease on that left side, follows his blocks and gets some positive yards up the middle, just under five minutes into the third, you see Tony Elliott , Jeff Scott continues with the pressure in his office increases Lawrence takes him out and is intercepted Kristian Fulton there is a lowered flag after the interception that would be the first pick for Lawrence in a long time if he sticks, but he will return and then it will be official from the backend called that beat you Fulton, who has been chosen this time, came in and tried to jump Justin Ross' route, what is Ryan's disbelief?

Dave Aranda on this defense, now we'll have to dig deeper here, another penalty has set up Clemson close. in midfield and he had his left hand there, he just grabbed the shoulder and Ross made his cut towards the post, he went in, it was hard to see him there, but he had his hand on it, which was fine, but when he made his move towards the Inside, he squeezed and grabbed the shirt and that's what he looked at the official cap. You can grab the jersey as long as you don't turn or impede the receiver and the official trial that happened is not popular with LSU fans.

Ross's downfield is too well covered, come on, pressed individually, he was in coverage, how about Sting Lee's coverage? It's almost like that side of the field is locked down and Justin Ross is an elite receiver and what I love about Sting Lee is a young cornerback and the college game, especially, he played receiver in high school, he has those instincts and as soon as that catcher starts to peek into his eyes, that's when Stingley starts to peek out, but his stride through the fans is Lawrence's second-and-ten. deep pressure for you, excuse me, a false start is a flag before the start fast offense number 73 five-yard penalty, second right tackle cerebral to senior Tremaine Ankara guilty Stingley who led the SEC six interceptions one of the best in the country of a mark of a true all-American freshman season first-team roster t Higgins remains, said to be 15 etn pitching pressure completion and is by Patrick Queen a loss after the catch of one who saw this all the time he was here, he worked inside but he has his eyes exactly where they need to be and then he has it locked on, he didn't hesitate at all, you know he's so nervous, it's so sudden in that inside linebacker spot that it's almost like a plan of security there, Brayton's chosen coverage elected him there.

Bobson just got converted, just one of eight tonight, he leads 16 here unless he gives him a big chase. I'm putting pressure on the quarterback enough to force the throne high. He is fourth exactly right. He didn't get there, but from a quarterback's blind side. It affected him, he's had success moving around and at left tackle and I think he rushed it, it made him feel uncomfortable and like he was rushing off the edge, that's all you have to do, you don't always have to get there and get the sack, which is his tenth takedown because of the pressure that LSU has been able to put on him, the needles run again on Stingley makes the catch and his hit immediately we had a great return, we take down, there is a difference, he beats two quarterbacks from field that are both. is excellent in almost all situations, loved category, there is a difference under pressure, yes, just under 50% ball pressure, that's not bad, the donkey has been exceptional, says a lot about where Joe Burrell is the god of the fifth year, Trevor, as beautiful as he was at six and six. at 20 he continues to grow in that capacity and that is why next year will be so good for him to continue growing.

This is a great series in your LSU football game with ten Edwards still not on the court side of Achatz Chris Curry. who replaced Edwards the era when he hurt his hamstring and that semi-final finally gave a striker with great energy girl who hesitates to take off in time this goes crazy in Jefferson in space he launches within 30 sometimes he just doesn't It's just when you can make a play like that on the run, how about the awareness of staying behind the line of scrimmage for Joe Burrow, he brings the defense here, here's his athletic ability, now the awareness just trying to pull that defender ? 12k ball wall, that's where he did it and it does a great job at 935 yards, now you're hiding looking for the kill shot down the field once you get a car chase, who taught you that, idea a great night out, but that could have been another touchdown, wait, they're in sync, who's Joe's dad?

I think this ball is thrown perfectly off the shoulder oh are you kidding me? You couldn't have given it better to chase, chase, I don't know if he lost it, make no mistake, this kid has eight receptions, 218 yards. obviously having a great night before, he'd love to get that one back. It should have been the hat-trick as he bounced off the shoulder pad. I couldn't get that ball into better limbs and the defense is just trying to hold on. that LSU often gets close to the red zone again and moves around as it takes what he's going to do here, sidestep a tackler and somehow find some yards.

Let's keep in mind that James Kowski is not in the middle of that defense. Jake Venables is in his. The coach's son understands defense, but face it even though he is a great player, he has a great future. Scouse Key has played all year and is making all the calls. It's T Higgins, which is important to see him return for Clemson, the one the Tiger defender sent off. of the best offensive players limited right nowso it's third down again Barone eats seven offending field goal ranges Clemson calls a timeout which is ideal down 10 to dedicate a timeout to the defense, but you can see how important that Davos Sweeney thinks this play is here Momsen makes that dream start in the second half. get the three and score the two-point conversion, but Burrow and LSU just take a deep breath and get back to work and regain the momentum.

Yes, we said before leading such a fundamental sequence of events right here, not only with the scouts injury, key to LSU's touchdown, they get the ball back and now they have a chance to put another touchdown on the board and at that point, going into the fourth quarter it's very, very difficult, obviously, to catch up with this LSU offense, so yeah, we saw that open look and when you see that empty look, you know we've seen a lot tonight, you have to defend all those receivers or you have to keep a guy in the box to account for Burrow on the quarterback draw, it hurt him. even though he's getting hurt, he's hurt, sit next to the quarterback, get out of this. look at the guy who was spying on him, he skied with his head, like you said, don't be there now, both Chase and Jefferson are on the left, look, someone has to go to the back for help against those three that receive it's a ball of pressure that comes out quickly Chase has it but he has no first down yards stuck in heavy traffic the Inventables were right there in the area it's fourth down here comes the field goal team really good job on that defense ball comes out with a blitz Tanner Muse but they did a good job of keeping their eyes up on Hannah 111 four or five different orange caps, yes they are running to football in York from the 21st to the 26th of the year, but between 40 and 49 hardly automatic, it only has 5 of 9 from this distance when this for a 13 point lead drives it but it will slide well so LSU can't increase the lead it came up empty it's a great stop we were closing in without skal see on the field huge stop the jamar chase drop we talked we both said how big it was that's a ball he catches nine out of ten and a half times that's a touchdown that's potentially a knockout 42 to 35 instead it keeps Clemson in this game they they make a stop and then they miss the missed field goal, they're only down ten and they're still here in the third quarter, which Oh knows they blew a big opportunity to stretch the lead and really put this Cumson offense on the ropes at the end of the third quarter. it's an option, look, the late catch is dangerous, it's here, they have it, but Petric Queen caught it for a speed loss option, they go in on the edge and a great job chasing forces the throw and then a botched block that allows clean.

In order to get his football option, if you take the quarterback, there should be an ally to be able to get to the back edge and be able to pick up some yards, but because of eight Queen's quickness, he came off the block and is capable. to make the play on dgn and she will know that my friend thinks about the ticket option she made that time, it is a cheap shot. I tried to get it to Higgins now it's third and 12, there wasn't a lot of opportunities there obviously after the catch, but t Higgins was fighting through the pain, you've got to show mental toughness, you've got to fight through the pain, you've got to make sacks like That one, pick up six yards, seven yards, give yourself a chance to do it more like a third-and-four or five.

Well, they can in the slot on the right, here comes the pressure. Laurens steps back and throws a throw over Ross's head that was a tough, tough throw into coverage and it's fourth down. They did a good job of moving away from protection, but I managed to To give some credit to the entire LSU secondary, these spins and receivers don't come out of their coverage, but it's tight coverage and long, tough throws like Trevor Lawrence, who doesn't It's an easy run there and it's a good job that secondary got Justin Jefferson back, not Stingley. to return this one, Spiers can hit a knuckleball, it sounded ugly, it didn't take long, Jefferson will run and make a fair catch at 4:42, so it's good field position for borough because they're still in the last minute of this third quarter with the value of Try to get the touchdown that could be of great help to secure this championship.

What were some ofthe great boxing classics we have had here? You said Spinks vs. Olie, the gnome bomb of ours, was more about tactical supremacy, but it wasn't good. but he feels like Clemson is on the ropes right now just hanging on and LSU is trying to get a knockout shot, so the 33-yard punt reworks that possession in just 50 seconds. Edwardson Lair shows his patience and chooses his path. for a first down play of kept two safeties back quick indicator so Burrell sees that we're going to try to run the ball every time in that look and then we're going to force them to give them a single high safety and if they do that, they're going to go back to Jamar, let's chase at the top, see if he can win one on one.

The net is dumber meanwhile, it has been held and controlled very well by this Clemson defense, the star running back rushing for only 39 yards, we got a couple of sacks, pocket donkey. He throws it short at the right time and Wurtzel air catches it and fights for everything he cares about going out of bounds now he'll never go out of bounds maybe for so long, right, yeah, yeah, you know, we kind of feel it. . they want to try to get the ball, it looks like a flag came late on that 73rd play, it looked like McGee came in and shoved someone late, my goodness, Isaiah Simmons, that would be a mental mistake that would drive the order crazy. of this possession trying to stretch the lead moved the ball to Clemson 37 personal foul offense number 73 The 15 yard penalty is still the first intention, you see the senior has been battling an ankle injury healthy enough to go , but in the end he played an absolutely meaningless game as he comes and hits Emily, a number one, you appreciate the effort at any time, you live in the country, there, 320 pounds, you love to see the intensity, you have to be mentally sharper , you must be, you must have some conscience about yourself, you can't be a fool. mistake like that at the end of this game, especially when you have Clemson on the ropes, a dead ball is still a first down, but the ball goes back into Eltham territory, so LSU is 15 minutes away if they can protect this advantage not to cover a season of 50 nano 35 25 now a gift here with an exclusive look at Marvel Studios, the new Black Widows in theaters around the world on May 10, 2010.

Turing, the last quarter of the College Football Playoff national championship presented by AT&T LS, you were the first city near midfield to run has extended the led each team with a touchdown in the third quarter. Clemson took just one point off the halftime deficit with that two-point conversion. Joe Pearl came close to a 400 yard passing game, not astronomical numbers against the Sooners, but against this defense after a slow one. starts off extremely impressive, brasilia gets moving here comes the pressure and he's open on the floor, can you mess him up?, he spins freely but can only hold it long enough. his minions is like he thinks you arrived, it's really difficult because even if you give him the strength in the lower part of his body, it's hard to take him down, but you fake it so that UM burrow wants to throw down the field, now he's just buying time, he's still running around and throws his moss throat to a tight end makes another great play inside.

Clemson forty Randy's kids, heaven tonight, he sure on you just can't, can't hit, can't cover a guy for that long, look how long he'll keep this play alive, they're essentially rushing threes and throwing one and Joe the last. Three or four games he completes 90% of his passes against Rush, three drops to Wow, in that time, you give him enough time with his accuracy, he will find someone open, remember they have been chasing him on this wheel route since the slot attempt. to apply pressure again tip Jefferson catch gain of eight on first down kayvon Wallis stop them Clemson got the key way Joker would have sat had a touchdown and Jamar chased what had him Edwards Hill his forward barrels pushed out of the 25 get five each wide receiver, although now most of them, yes, he does, still try to challenge inside Tanner Muse as the safeties stepped up as a backup in this game with that three-down line, one linebacker is now Jake Venables and his seven backs Defensive, they thought. if they went to this record, Stephen swing tells us they fought, they thought they would have to be able to run the ball, in fact they have run more than Burrow and Clyde Edwards, he later tonight might work on the play clock, now turn it off. for Perot has a lot of time and delivery and pursuit, that's on a short catch and not much after, Jefferson should say with a two yard play, really tight coverage by Kevin Wallace, senior personal, if you look at this secondary because the offense of the accused you need Kendrick. as a cornerback, they are a cornerback and their third best coverage guys at safety 12k bought wallace who has to hang in there on a lot of plays against Justin Jefferson, he just started Kirk to the left, chasing the left out of the formation in second and nine, bringing it.

Burroughs had time to dive for the end zone dumper touchdown. Terrence Northshore's number believes it was a crucial plan to extend the lead. He can see it by the reaction. He dropped the dime again. You're going to find that match and Mark Show hasn't had it. good chance they've been thinking about the chase, we just command that they both say he can come to that place this time it's more of a show at six and four, he puts it up, adjusts to the ball again. McKendrick simply never had a chance on the Marshall play. A baked six-story receiver is sometimes forgotten, but Jefferson's successful chase makes his 13th touchdown catch.

He dresses up Burroughs' parents, Jimmy and Robin, celebrating LSU getting closer to a championship with a total of 17 to play for. I'm Lydia, covering the post-tournament game. with Scott Van Pelt, post-game reactions will join the show, the winning coach and his tape, him in the first look at the odds for next season, the game on ESPN, also the ESPN app, the plan, the plastic of Garth Brooks on Saturday at Tiger Stadium calling. bath Roush Suite Baton Rouge and ready for the Tigers campus and here in New Orleans and across this state they are getting ready for the party to start if LSU can hold on to what is now a 17 point lead with about 12 minutes left . goal line and CM is going to take him out breaks a tackle and then makes it happen on special teams held his breath the kicker was there to help him get down at the 30 well we've seen Jamar chase in his spot in the slot this time it's Marshall , he would get it one on one, you're going to make these throws, you know if it's in-bounds this time down the field, just put it up, let the receiver adjust to defending the ball. back you never see it Joe Burrell has so much confidence in these receivers to win and look, I hit the donkey Marshall comes out after that and said it's time to get ready for a ring.

I won that Heisman, now it's time to prepare for that ring. he doesn't lack confidence, his confidence is even growing now 442 yards five touchdown passes Laurence, desperate to respond, takes a high throw Curtis has been off target many times tonight, that was on Justin Ross again, yeah, yeah, He just seems a little moody, you know? and I think Ellis deserves some credit for that because even when they haven't necessarily been able to get him out of the pocket, even when he's been in the pocket, I think he's felt some pressure, now he's got 13 pitches that have been knocked down to his catchers second and ten sometimes you try to put so much into it that the ball will tell in the play action, Ross hits a long shot that goes out of bounds, they will move the clubs along the 40, there is still plenty of time. a long time and you can see by Trevor Lawrence's energy after that completion and the first attempt, even he is thinking about the clock, there is an awareness that they have to somehow go at their own pace rather than at breakneck speed where are they. just out of control, you start doing the math and you calculate the possessions for Clemson to score 17, sure, but I can't really allow LSU anything on the office pitch rolls, they turn up the pressure and again the shooting is low and a flag arrives at Vincent. was covering rogers and grabbed him pass interference defense number five automatic first down see if he grabs the jerseys crabs his hips maybe hey grab the arm left arm grabbed him who's ball in LSU territory Tenth penalty on LSU double the Clemson number now

clemson

goes with his empty stare Lawrence has a lot of time and throws these field pedagogues he has it for the touchdown a flag is down it will come back for offensive pass interference yes that's the sign Benson it was just NASA Newkirk's fault It's the The other side says they pushed me, bald, knocked down, Higgins tries to adjust, there's a boat push and a push back and forth, they deployed, that's on Higgins and the crabs will hold and Higgins grabs the shirt first, He grabbed everything to give himself momentum to try to work his way back to the ball and I think that's what they caught in shape.

Benson's fans turned to boo. One touch is needed to exit the board. He moves the ball to the custom 37-yard line. I agree with you about the depth. It should have been a hold there for the defense on the defense there he responded that there was some separation but that was caused entirely by the defensive hold. Well, Bill knew it should have been a touchdown reception for Higgins. A huge call back. 12 teams were under some. The scrutiny that occurs because of the difficulties of officiating in that conference, those types of pass interference calls are always judgment calls and I don't think they're called from the same conference to conference, frankly, built as a seat for me initially.for me, the tug of that shirt and then the reaction of five Vincents.

Look, there is the initial survey that he withdraws. How do you separate that? When we both, Ferenc likes to see who gets the advantage, okay, you know, if I don't get any advantage. From there, I've done nothing second with 25 balls from Laurance and Patrick Queen will take him down right near the line of scrimmage. Logan also won that play. Patrick Queens was all over the field, he had a great game. in the middle of that LSU run defense, they bombed him in moments where he was in space, played man to man, a young man who didn't play at the beginning of the season, he was more of a guy who came in and substitute in the game Texas in week two, took control in the middle, really having a lot of fun, great championship game, Dave Aranda told us he's the most improved player on defense this season, you're right, he's in a whale , we need 26 in third. down Lawrence breaks away and rebounds a shot, better take it up the middle to Ross, who has been frustrated tonight, just out of his mind, man, he's throwing the ball with so much pace, I found it saying I know he's got pressure, but look in the middle of that. field, you gotta try, try to make that play, he just hasn't been accurate tonight throwing the ball, if you think about Curt about last year's championship game when he completely outplayed too excitable, even though it all worked out, yeah, despite feeling terrible.

Lawrence played wonderfully. the year later a totally different story, 17 of 36 have yet to throw a touchdown pass, it's a 4th straight punt for this Clemson offense, they thought they had momentum after scoring quickly in the 3rd quarter. You are watching the national home football playoff championship presented. by AT&T the College Football Playoff National Championship game is presented by AT&T and in part by Joe seconds, keep it interesting, enjoy Dos Equis responsibly and Northwestern Mutual spend your life live on a post-game show that will lead the presentation of the national championship trophy protecting LSU. a 17 point lead 1010 to play in the 2020 national championship they believe a lot in the magic of numerology and sign here so they were thinking in 2020 we got a Heisman winner, the last one was the 20th hole Billy Cannon 60 years ago three times 20 Sadly, Billy passed away on May 20 of last year at the age of 84 times 20.

I scored Borough's preseason 200 to 1 to win the Heisman 10 times 20 good things, they believe in that stuff here, you know, unless you're just trying to avoid it. the turnover the type of play that could generate momentum Edwards' tailback plan just isn't a pumped football toward a blocker who shook him for cover is a good Sugar Bowl play back in 1959 New Year's Davis Billy Cannon on the running back pass only game points come from one running back there were six completions combined here under the old T formation I'm somewhere in blue uniforms that game is a throwback there just a perfect season forLSU football until maybe this season they didn't really win the national championship before that win over Clemson, they voted ahead of the Bulls in those days and we're Dallaire's muscles, it'll be right near the scoreboard at the 20, yeah.

Looking up at these stands you see Joe Moreau has four hundred and forty-two yards with five touchdowns and you go back to the way this game started, the key to the game wasn't so much Clemson being able to cover because it's hard to cover these five receivers and including They tied him on the back, could they be confused? the offensive line and could affect Joe Burrow. Could they bomb it? Could they confuse him? They did it early, but as the game goes on, give LSU credit for making the adjustments because once they had time, Clemson couldn't hold on. back end that was the spectacular second quarter now it's a ticking clock coach oh not as fast as Davo but he showed a good four step burst to get it he's a live hooker yes he's a lineman take a break with him 8:51 to play a 17 point game, the best performance by ENC Burroughs, who broke records for his winning cups in high school and smashed a bunch more tonight, that's the first touch, sound, chase and then fight for a touchdown.

He did a lot with his feet tonight, but he was lethal. It's been his ability to find those open receivers and throw four touchdown passes, the one-on-one downfield receivers going right up to the ball helping him make five touchdown passes on the night and he, of course, ran right in. one you saw. it's time to work the clock Edwardson lair pulls darts forward hits 12 just doesn't want to go down he's close to 44 on five touchdown passes tonight holds the single-season record responsible for a total of 65 and in the BCS CFP era that began at 98, now has a record of 42 and counting their LSU offense that had combined for one hundred and ten points in their last two games against Georgia and Oklahoma, they will now play three of the top five teams and it's one hundred and fifty-two points. and counting those three games and over thirteen hundred passing yards as I follow the game, I have never seen an offense with the perfect storm of a new system replacing an archaic offense over the last decade and you.

Look at Joe Brady there on the left, the passing game coordinator who brought in the NFL's dead system and his time with the Saints and Sean Payton and Drew Brees, and you have a quarterback who understands that he has a structure in a process and he has weapons around him. it's the most impressive offense I think I've ever seen in my life, it's a great statement from a man and again with a Jeffersonian tilt, I see Ben's finger is a powerful figure at LSU, the man they called a slinger was a quarterback Charlie's camp among the darlings, obviously.

A family going through a tragedy had been calling McCord; his daughter-in-law died along with five other people in a plane crash en route to the Peach Bowl game in Atlanta. Steve found out right before his team took the field for warmups and an incredibly tough stoic. The coach of that game has been a great support for his son Steve Jr. At the time of the family tragedy, he had simply been Rocky, sure he had a torch, he really admired his strength. Benson Finger, is a survivor. He has been fired three times as an assistant. He has gone from one place to another.

He worked at Clemson at one point during the Tommy West era, he didn't have much success. there, but now, so I can step aside, put aside my ego, let Grady, the whippersnapper, walk in there and, like this tandem guy you love to see, end up being part of what you call the best office ever. You've seen and the guy on Left brings the new offense, wins the Broilers award for best assistant in the entire country and in Stingers they call the place. I mean, it's a very interesting dynamic they have and it's selfless on everyone's part, but the players have to execute the scheme. and Joe Burrow and these receivers in the back are exceptional turns into a flag a couple of them chase was defended by two on that slant you can't stop him just grab him that's a bigger guy by the way he sleeps in his office four nights a day week from Sunday to Wednesday sleeps in the office sleeps about four or five hours Spence Thursdays with the family is family day an eligible receiver in the field offense number 68 have an eligible receiver defense number eight we play the first down, that's the potential danger of those who run pass options and you have the linemen thinking it's a run call, the quarterbacks reading the safeties who come down to help, he takes it out to throw it and you have the linemen of eight ten yards downfield, so it's making up for just repeating that, yeah, but it's cool, I mean, listen. about the coaches they study movies it's late sometimes from time to time they stay the night no here it's part of the work day so it's part of the routine I'm far far away it's his house where he has the tension the conjecture turns the mental and Poliquin traffic was pursuit, looks like incidental contact, no flag, well you have linemen, you can go downfield 73 McGee, it's downfield about five yards when the ball is thrown Brent Venables ran out onto the field, I think That was probably what he was aiming to hit a little bit. ragged here Parker in the fourth quarter there he is LSU he certainly feels comfortable where they are he is trying to work the clock almost four minutes have passed in this series he only moved him 33 yards but he has tried to chew up the clock and take away the opportunity to win comeback , it's third, we were second and 15, Myrtle's new arrow will be tackled behind the line again Chris, I just want to go back to this offense and what makes it, when we talk about the scheme, we can talk about these receivers, but Joe groove. he's basically an assistant coach who plays quarterback he's a Krag student he takes online classes he's on site as much as the assistant coach studies the film he breaks it down he understands where to go with the ball he has answers and so what you have is a quarterback and a complete progression read system that knows where to go and finds those matchups and throws the ball accurately with that skill, so it's a great combination.

It's very rare in college, you see it with Rodgers, Brees and Brady, but not in college, well the man who wears number nine for the Saints in this building was Burrell's childhood idol. He had a chance to meet him yesterday at the Saints facility, which was a big challenge for Joe, not like what's exciting tonight, but it's been a great week for the Heisman Trophy winner. Brees, his son comes to say hello and Joe hesitated, you're the reason for Saints fans' success, close to the reason I wear number nine, you're my hero, he just explained it all, it's true, he knew the most of those things, but I think.

Joe Burrell was the few times he didn't know what to say, you know, just super humble in the face on Drew Brees, it's not often he's super humble. I'm just another kid from the Midwest and you found your way to Louisiana. like Brees winning the Super Bowl of course, Burrell closing in on his championship guy, I spun spicy McGrath, runs down the field, gunner LSU grabs, Rogers Benson was ready at the 15, time was running out, New Orleans was preparing for its big party, air cover provided overhead. by Goodyear recognizing those who strive to rise above the rest Goodyear most driven within five minutes to play in the LSU faithful inside the dome standing and roaring for their defense that kept Trevor Lawrence Cerf in the second half to five for 14 and only 37 passing yards, it's easy to look at Trevor and he hasn't had a great night with his pace, but these receivers didn't play well or hold up well against the LSU secondary. six at the 25, showed us a lot of grit in that Ohio State game, wanting his team to come back and win, makes a great shot there off the chase, the enforcer of the LSU defense recovers and tries to put points on the board . from the pocket delivers and Higgins makes the catch here in the meat field in front of Stephens, but he hasn't been able to make enough of an impact tonight now that he looks much better, much more comfortable sitting in that pocket and letting Higgins punt. down the middle we went over Patrick Wayne that moment for that finish he blushed again when the space makes the cut pay the nice price the bad words bouncing at the end of the run LSU has the ball and they have a hand on the Darrin Stingley trophy jr. continues a freshman brother campaign with the recovery of the fumble that Delpit caused and threw it, knocks him out, that's the risk you take, you know, Trevor Lawrence, for competing tonight, takes off, sees things turn They open, they open, they're being a competitor, right?

They're trying to do it. he tries to find room to run some yards and get a first down. Delp does a good job of getting his shoulder pad right on the ball to release it and there's Stingley in the corner to pick it up for this LSU defense. took a lot of pressure for much of the year, especially after the Ole Miss game, but these last four or five games have been a different unit. De Varenne has done a great job with his group and received some very good love when Edwards Alera bounces him now. he steps aside, slides and stays on the field wisely, it's a sweetheart on his quarterback who's going to lose a game for the first time since November 17, 2017, when Cartersville Georgia.

Blessed Trinity surprised me, their first loss as a college starter and the plums are going to have their first loss in 742 days since this building they lost the tsubame semi-final a couple of years ago, right on the client Edwards Eli, instead of trying to fight to get a touchdown, he knows very well what the mission and objective is at the end of the big game. so her slides go down she stays within limits she keeps the clock moving she has it again for the last LS driver here how very sexy but they did it she more than five minutes without that vodka almost that saw it here away from this great lady so competitive like Joe Borough is and as much as he wants to keep his foot on the gas, he keeps going, they're feeling it, they know what's coming for them right now, it's almost party time in New Orleans, it always is, but this could It's going to be a really big party and coach Ederoar Tirana comes from deep in Bayou Lafourche Parish, where the Shrimpers hang out.

Placer is out of the Gulf, one of their own, the Cajun who coaches LSU and a source of enormous pride to him. His mother is 77 years old and she couldn't be more proud of ed he's been all over this state nurse Laroo is way down in the biome climbs naturalistic places college football at Northwestern State plan along those lines d McNeese State begins his college career with the Saints coach Morris' season on the defensive line when ad SC, where he was six and two years as interim coach, but Hayden had passed That was a tough blow for him, but everything turned out pretty well for him.

I think we all, as college football fans, have to tip our captain coach or think that a lot of people laughed and wondered what they are doing hiring an award that Ron didn't receive. It wasn't like that, LSU didn't see what happened when he was head coach at Ole Miss. People made funny videos online about him and his voice. You know, all he did was keep working. He just did it. He modified the things that he brought. a new offense surrounded itself with wonderful people, great coaches hired great players. The first thing he'll say when he walks off the field with Tom Rinaldi, he'll talk about the great state of Louisiana, he gets it, he fits in perfectly as LSU's head coach and third and three donkey take him out, it's out of Jefferson's hands other than saying " come on Tigers," he's going to talk about the great state of Louisiana and you know what with Alabama losing and two to go right now, that SEC West coach was thinking why.

We don't, why can't we set the bar now, not just in 2019, but beyond the way their recruiting facilities and the commitment they make? I don't see LSU going well, they have dethroned the toughest in the sport in recent years. be Clemson Burrow is going to disappear and it will be difficult to replace him on his fourth attempt. Burrow throws him on the floor. Edwards Larry will get it and much more and stay within limits again within 50, the Joker. Oh, talk about the state of Louisiana coming here embracing this state and these people spelling his name with an e aux on senior day.

Kurt will be able to walk across the Bayou without getting wet for the rest of his life. You talk about making a living. Legend while his parents hug each other, it's good to be difficult to find the match in sports history. I'm serious, I agree with you, man, I agree and he needed to win tonight for that to be true and he did and he saw a shot at his parents. I just want to say that Ben's dad has been training for 50 years. He's been in the game as a player. As a coach he decided to retire this year.

Ohio University defensive coordinator Edwards Alera remains within the five barrelswho decided to retire. There is. that was number nine, he's the coach, all he knows, the coaching ball of him, instead he wanted to follow Joe after he transferred or transferred from Ohio State to LSU. He decides that he will go every moment of the game with his wife, he will take it in and be a fan. Tailgate hangs out with little Dino what was reserved for 2019 with his son. They're pretty stoic, they don't shed tears and the board that his son usually makes, but it's been a tear-filled end to the season with LSU's last-minute victory formation. class movement there my cochon shows the respect he has for Dabo and for Clemson by kneeling instead of trying to put another well it is a trifecta that very few have managed to win the Heisman perfect season national championship as they say in the buyer puts LSU se sits on the throne of college football and as they knock out the defending champions, then charge 628 yards to supreme confidence, his team's style and Kirk white, purple and gold, backed him up. tonight they came.

I have never prepared for a game of this magnitude and I felt that the team is confident as LS coming into this game would blow up in their faces and it would end up being true as you can see they had a feeling of what was going to happen. . come tonight the shower of confetti inside the Superdome was somewhere down there Tom Rinaldi with a happy coach Oh Chris, thank you so much and everything you've been through, everything it took to get here when you look up and see that confetti fall, what happens. so I have to quantify this is about our team is my best Cochise I'm about everyone one apart let's go to the big Stan Louisiana I'm so happy for everyone down for the first time all season by double digits you come back what did you hear about this scoop this evening?

Seventh victory against a top ten team. The integrity of character. Well, that sounds good. Don't you want to win over your staff? Joe Burrows sits on the Heisman stage and concluded his speech by telling him about everything he wants to say. for you, the world, the naive morning burger squares of LSU history, finally celebrate the end of this team's motto, one team, one heartbeat, what's up tonight, this season, me, to the heart of Louisiana, of someone here representing you, that's what it's all about, I grew up, I want to be the head coach of OSU. I am very proud of the state of Louisiana.

We have had the support of the governor and the president of everyone who loves LSU. I am very happy for the people of Louisiana, but you have to do your best. football team and they've been working for a year, they deserve this day, go ahead, say it, go jog, congratulations, thank you Joe, you said winning the Heisman didn't mean much, it was this national championship game and getting that title back. to Baton Rouge, the series of hard work that has paid off, this is an incredible moment for our, for our program for Baton Rouge, for Louisiana, this is so special, I'm a little speechless, you guys allowed Clemson to strike first , but never. we shook where that confidence came from knowing that you're going to get the win here tonight we thought we were down I think it was 17 seven we never flinched we know we knew what we had we had some tough breaks and we got stuck inside the five of us a couple of times we had a really good plan early and you know, once we figured out what they were trying to do, our coaches put together a great game plan at halftime, when we got rolling we thought we could come back early from halftime, but You took a big hit in the corner of the locker room, which allowed you to fight through that injury, there is no other option, this is a national championship, this is it, I was not going to sit on the sidelines, that's for sure, you already know that get to this.

This season your dad retired to watch all the games and has been at the stadium celebrating with you. What does it mean to be able to win this national championship against him? You know my dad won a Gray Cup in Canada, but there's something like that. his burrow curses my brother Lawson's national championship my dad lost a couple Gray Cups I lost the state championship both of my brothers lost state championships and oh this is our first so this is super special I see you haven't put the ball on it down and after you threw your fifth touchdown pass without a record four national championships, you pointed to your ring finger, do you know what size ring you wear? 10 and a half we already adjusted it, okay, we will arrive soon, congratulations. now, the Burrell family curse, if it ever existed, has been erased and a magic carpet ride for this program and this quarterback and I are home with the winner of the Superdome LSU Champions.

This is a special kind of delirium when you are dominant and They are really very exciting and they are all that. The fort is approaching after the game. There is still a championship trophy. Well, let's join the SportsCenter Scott Bat-Belt. Chris. Thank you very much for mentioning the trophy ceremony. The next coach will join us here later. the LSU program the national champions tested in a way they hadn't all year the champions worthy of the sponsoring team haven't lost in 29 had a ten-point lead over Joe Burrell and LSU but they do a lot of damage, that's what Cole Cubic told me haymaker up is rabbit hole for Jamar Chase who had 221 receiving yards and they lead after being down 17 7, a little like the Chiefs on Sunday, what a play call here, brave third and 10 out of timeouts trying to get into field goal range. let's play the fight song and score a touchdown burrow runs for a bunch and then finds Thaddeus Moss with his Hall of Fame dad cheering in the stands 21 no response but a big hit here while burrow grimaced he didn't want medical attention but at halftime he's out there riding the stationary bike to stay loose you wonder what the impact would be will it be

clemson

they respond with a touchdown to get within three this is a third 11 throat chase he's on the case to the tune of 43 yards game they have so many weapons so many different ways to hurt you Justin Jefferson hit by Scalzi and taunts Keys big hit here he is targeting Ohio State fans remember how brutal the decision to target was in their semi-final game in favor of Clemson, they lose a contributor key just like Ohio State did and they go back to Moss after Scott's keys were ejected for targeting, that's a touchdown Berta Moss again, they take a look just before her left toe touches out of bounds, he is over the end zone line to make a 10 point lead and now up again is Burrow Terrace Marshall his fifth touchdown of the game he has 60 on the season the band played in the neck of the incoming French Quarter I know you're made for a party but they might test you tonight like you've never been a perfect season ten and a half is the ring size for mr. city, confetti falls from the sky and they are ready to celebrate the trophy ceremony, postgame is coming up will continue right after this, Ford postgame is presented by Ford built by Ford, we are proud to welcome LSU fans post-Ford game, you can celebrate your 2020 college football championship with the largest selection of official stock College Football Playoff merchandise fan apparel and apparel at the College Football Playoff dot com store Joe Burrow is collecting confetti, yet another souvenir to continue with all those trophies and the championship ball Welcome to the game as they prepare this elaborate stage for the trophy presentation.

Curt had the opportunity to cap off this game and this season for the 15 or now Bayou Bengals, yeah, it was an incredible year. Yes, I was lucky enough to cancel one of their games early on. The year against Texas there was a third down at the end of that game third and 17 where Joe Burrow made a throw on a Justin Jefferson touchdown. I think it was a message to the entire country that this was a different year, a different offense, a different approach. an aggressive approach of going after them and the guy, if they were in Tuscaloosa facing Auburn, facing Florida, whatever their identity was and again tonight they were backed into a corner it didn't look good at first, but they kept making their shots until it finally paid off. sorry, don't you agree with these?

Did he make that plan Austin, that's what he knew, he had a team, he's right and they went for a long stretch of 25 quarters and they never trailed the Auburn game until tonight and they found themselves down by double digits, no. Burrow panicked, said they had to take some time to figure out what I'm supposed to do against him and once he settled into another massive night, Ford and 63 yards, five touchdown, we just kept the, you know, it's a break we were talking about. We've been talking about that offense with Burrell all year, but let's make sure we give Dave Aranda and the LSU defense a hint that they know they played well tonight against a talented quarterback, they shut down those receivers for the most part.

And as the second half went on, you could see not only Borough but Dave Aranda and the defense really getting into it as well. They did what no opponent could do. Trevor Lawrence looked out of his depth in the second half. Lawrence just 6 of 15 58 yards. He had a mistake late in the game, that wasn't a big factor, but the fact that the defense bothered him was a big factor. They were in the shadow of that offensive. You're right. They're under 400 yards tonight and especially in the second half when the gate things started to get interesting and it seemed like remember when the second half started LSU made three and Trevor Lawrence got the ball in great field position , they put a touchdown on the board, they went for two, they got within three, so they had a game at 28 25 and then that defense clamped down and of course Burrell kept finding his receivers one on one and they're making plays .

Eddore Shrine, like you said, frequently doubted a joke, too many well-deserved smiles, said he's a progressive figure, hired a guy when Brady wasn't even 30 yet, and of course he came from the Saints here in this building and it's up to Pat Andrews, who wins a championship, to imagine himself being Joe Brady at age 30, he'll stay. There has been a lot of talk in Baton Rouge and rumors that he may go to the NFL or maybe look for other jobs. He is very happy and grateful to be where he is now, he is the passing game coordinator of this offense and it has been fun. look at him this year, but he has 30 years of worlds ahead of him, you know that his career is ahead of him, it's time for the party to continue here and the presentation of the national championship trophy on that stage full of people is going to save us to preside over What a tremendous night for New Orleans in the great state of Louisiana, as LSU returns to the top.

A splendid performance bested all of the top four preseason teams, finishing with a win against Clemson to take the national championship and here to host the College Football Playoff National. championship trophy is the college football playoff executive director mr. bill Hancock Thank you Reese first I want to congratulate these two great football teams for their performance tonight and throughout the regular season and now, on behalf of the conference and the schools that ran the College Football Playoffs, it is my honor to present the national championship trophy. to coach ed, sure, and the LSU Tigers are headed like you often do, almost immediately you handed that trophy to the players, everything about your programs was focused on the players, but I can see the pride in your eyes , your eyes fill with tears, how is this?

Say you care a lot about bringing them a championship. You know we love the state of Louisiana. I love this team, one team, one heartbeat, this coaching staff, everyone who bled the purple and gold, the great state of Louisiana, this is for everyone.team one heartbeat baby at what point at what point do you imagine this is the objective the ability of this team to win a championship you know I saw this team work for you we started working last January 17th and at one point in the spring when I saw the offense complete 80% of its passes in our fast break defense .

I felt like we could have a great team, but when we got to that third down at 17 against Texas, I felt like we had the players to win a championship. You said that was your goal. being the head coach at LSU is different being the head coach than being a national champion how is that again giving credit to the players? I'm in the right place at the right time you know we got a job we got Joe Brady Steve has turned Dave into Ranson a guy who was allowed this offensive line we got behind us a short loss give him that ball to catch and congratulations my friend, well done, maybe the best season any team has ever had, let's bring in Joe Burrow, the offensive player.

The game, obviously, there hasn't been a quarterback in the history of this sport that has had a season like the one you just completed. I heard you say your goal was never to be a pro quarterback,but to be a national champion quarterback, so what does that dream look like? Matching what you're experiencing now feels pretty good, many years of hard work culminating in a moment with the best group of guys anyone could ask for. We have worked very hard for this. A lot of people put a lot of work into this. from athletic trainers staff staff players coaches chefs dining room assistants you know it's not just me your coach oh or the offensive line it's everyone inside that building that gets a piece of this inside the game tonight when you guys go down double figures what changed I mean, there was no rah-rah speech on the sidelines, there was no, hey, we've got to get going, we knew what we had to do, we've got a mature group of guys to understand the moment, we just had to go out there and start execute better. and that's exactly what we did, they had a great plan once we figured it out we went on a streak although when you look back on this season and you've done everything you can from a team standpoint from an individual standpoint, what are you doing?

Do you think this season, these last two years at LSU will mean to you, will they mean to everyone? This is what I've wanted to do since I was five years old as a host, prepare the trophy and bring it back to Louisiana. I guess we're in Louisiana. but by staying in Louisiana we weren't going to let someone come here and steal this from us in our home state. We have a great fan base that came out and supported us. We'll keep this here Joe, congratulations man, amazing season. I wish you the best, congratulations, defensive player of the game, a guy who caused a lot of havoc for LSU tonight is Patrick Queen Patrick.

What did you discover? What was Clemson doing? Did you feel a change in your defense against them? Oh, we. Just locked in there, you know, we've been down all season, you know, we just want to come, approve this baby, it's about that, we're done to play, wait, no, you're definitely nothing to play with, what when? Look what this team has accomplished. You beat all these teams. You got a high ranking in the preseason. No team beat as many top ten teams as you guys. How do you put this season into perspective? What they just achieved. Do not forget.

You know, we arrived in a season, we are on new wheels capable of doing it. You know, the old coach told us what we were going to do with him. You know he's still talking and we have this semi-final soon. What does it mean to you to win it here in Nuevo? Orleans means the man of the world will win in our state that we love and we thank you for all the support Patrick, congratulations on a tremendous performance by the LSU defense tonight Chris, I'll tell you about LSU's accomplishments this year, it's hard to find a team.

In recent memory that coincides with the achievements that these guys have and they are the career of national champions. Thank you, Burger Offensive Coordinator Sean Stevens and his son Steve, a moment of triumph for that family and a moment of tragedy and a smile from Steve Jr. those haven't been too abundant in recent days, what a night for the great state of Louisiana and, as Origin and Boro said, the familiar chin of LSU that resonates inside the Superdome at the party will extend to the French Quarter and continue until Sun comes out. and then they finish some classes today and tomorrow at LSU I have to take the rest of the week off why not hoedown you know Burroughs said he's coming he had a really good plan and they scored first this is a Trevor Lawrence touchdown run shades of what which the Buckeyes did and then Jamar chased with this deep ball Kirk, this play really ignited the Tigers offense, yes, Clemson came out looking like a seasoned champion, but like Joe Burrow just said Reese, they kind of figured it out , they realized that three linebackers from the line one, seven. defensive backs and once they were able to calibrate that offense, they were tough to stop, but Clemson didn't go away, you know, the Tigers continued to show that the heart that we talked about, much like they did against Ohio State, had an advantage there in the first. half they gave Higgins that touchdown and then they buried themselves with their legs showing their entire skill set tonight for him in the end zone and then they chased him, it was just a tube that turned on the wooden cup, they couldn't protect him in all night now he had a What a night, obviously, nine catches to 21 and two touchdowns when Burrow found him one on one, that's what he was normally looking for here if the Blitz got a big throw from James Kowski but he throws to one of his best friends on the team, Thaddeus.

Moss for a touchdown, here comes Clemson, they needed to get back in the game in the second half, their defense hit a three and the offense put points on the board. It looks like they're coming back, but there's another one-on-one matchup that Joe Burrow just can't avoid, it's like taking skulls, the kid would be kicked out of the game for a targeting decision that deflated the blow to that defense and Trevor Lawrence, like we said after halftime, he just couldn't make it, the attack continued Boro Moss again, one of his best friends on the team, his father, Randy, who is watching tonight, can break the plane before going out of bounds and Joe I knew one was the size ten and a half ring that had already been placed and will be getting it very soon.

Lawrence loses for the first time as a college starter and sold by Dabo Swinney and we will undoubtedly be back to try to find another championship next year. We've talked a lot about LSU and rightly so, but that was filmed right there and will be a lasting image for me in the offseason is the Clemson team that faced a lot of unrealistic expectations and often didn't live up to what they did. last year against the people of Bama. As for the outside world, they are going to come back and will be very motivated to come back next year with another trophy.

Perot, of course, won the Heisman and five other major awards, but that championship trophy is the one he says he's always dreamed of and is easily the most prized 42:25 in the Superdome, undefeated national champions LSU enjoyed bringing these games to Throughout the season, a huge thank you to our entire production team. Bill Piniella produced it. Derek directed him gently. Do you believe? Bill Daman yay and Dave Kataya for helping us with the rules all season long. Darren Brown Mike Black Mark Amento. Gary and John appear in the booth and every person on this team, very much like Joe Parr.

Oh, is this a mass production for us? Can we thank each and every person? By Tom Maria by Kirk Herbstreit. I'm Chris Fowler, saying see you later from New Orleans. He will have postgame coverage on SportsCenter LSU, 15th national champions and OH season like we have rarely seen in this sport. The post-game Ford is brought to you by Ford, built with Ford pride.
