LSU and its Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback, Joe Burrow, comfortably beat defending champions Clemson, 42-25, on Monday night time to win the Faculty Soccer Playoff nationwide championship and cap off one of many extra exceptional transformations within the sport’s latest historical past.
No. 1 LSU’s victory — in a Battle of the Tigers performed in LSU’s yard on the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans — was no small feat. No. three Clemson got here in having gained 29 straight video games, which included its 44-16 trouncing of Alabama in final 12 months’s championship sport.
Burrow threw for 463 yards and 5 touchdowns (and ran for 60 yards and one other landing) to provide LSU (15-0) its fourth nationwide title and hand Clemson sophomore quarterback Trevor Lawrence his first loss as a university soccer participant.
