Welcome to college football immortality, Joe Burrow.
The LSU Tigers quarterback tallied six touchdowns and capped off his Heisman Trophy-winning season by leading his team to a 42-25 victory over the Clemson Tigers on Monday at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans to win the College Football Playoff National Championship Game. This is LSU's first championship in the CFP era and first national title since the 2007 season.
As for Clemson, this marks a missed opportunity to cement itself as an unquestioned dynasty.
The Tigers were looking for back-to-back championships and a third title in four years, which would have been the most in the CFP era.
