College Football Championship 2020: Top Breakout Stars From Clemson vs. LSU

The abundance of talent on the LSU Tigers depth chart forced some of their top contributors out of the national conversation.

In Monday's 42-25 win over the Clemson Tigers in the College Football Playoff National Championship, a few of those under-the-radar players made some of the game's most important plays.

On offense, tight end Thaddeus Moss, the son of NFL legend Randy Moss, produced a touchdown in each half.

Defensively, Patrick Queen stood out the most from a collection of potential NFL talent.

The contributions of both breakout stars allowed LSU to pull away in the second half and win its first national title since 2007.
