There were two plays in Monday’s loss to LSU in the national championship game that cost Clemson on the defensive side of the football.
The first came just before halftime that led to a momentum building touchdown, while the second came in the third quarter on what was one of the best calls of the entire night from the LSU coaching staff.
Would the outcome of the game have been any different had Clemson made the stops and got off the field? Who knows? But they were two plays that helped determine LSU’s 42-25 victory at the Superdome in New Orleans.
