I always anticipate the College Football National Championship because it is hard to pinpoint who will actually make it. As the months go by during the season, I can only imagine who will be the contender against either Clemson Tigers or Alabama Crimson Tide, who have made it in the National Championship the previous five years. Well, it is finally here and we are down to Clemson Tigers vs LSU Tigers. I do believe that, the LSU Tigers have the most momentum going into this game. Seemingly, it is almost set-up like the passing of the torch from Clemson-to-LSU from my observation of the previous years. Clemson will have their hands full not just on offense, but defense as well against an LSU team that has had an amazing season. Trevor Lawrence, Clemson’s quarterback was the difference maker in their win over the Ohio State Buckeyes, but LSU brings a different level of energy, plus they have the turf advantage being that the game is located in New Orleans Louisiana at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
In order for Clemson to seal the deal and walk away with their fourth National Championship, their defense needs to be flawless against Joe Burrow, LSU’s quarterback; and they need to continue utilizing the pass-rush as Trevor did against Ohio State. This will be an explosive game and I believe it will mirror Clemson’s showdown against Ohio State. A good blueprint for LSU to follow would be the blueprint that Ohio State attempted, such as shutting Clemson down early and keeping the momentum.

This game was awesome. Joe Burrow is no joke on the field.
I literally tracked most of it listening to audio until I could watch at work. YouTube was not showcasing it for anything.
Maybe the Bears will get Joe, lol.
Cincinnati is not trading that #1 pick for anything. The Bears could tank and wait for Trevor Lawrence to be #1 in 2021.
Hard to see Trevor in a Bears uniform
so this one is tough, I think LSU will win, But, it is really hard to pick against Clemson.
It is very hard to gauge this matchup. And as I stated LSU has the edge because its on their turf. But Clemson has been to the dance before, and they did beat an Ohio State team that is similar to this LSU team. The key for Clemson is shutting down that offense which will be the deciding factor. I do think their offense has what it takes to score on LSU, as they did against OSU, but still it’s hard to gauge because anything can happen.
yeah it was a toss up
I thought LSU would win.
Like Dabo said, it was their night. They had lots of momentum going into this matchup which I did mention in it. Added too that it felt like the passing of the torch. I’d love to see LSU around next year, but with QB gone who knows. Great seeing someone other than Bama and Clemson win.
i suspect you will see two of the same if not three of the same final four next year.
Going to guess so far Alabama, Ohio State, Clemson, and for some odd reason I want to say Florida Gators or Georgia.
LSU won’t be the same next season, but can be still a top 10 team, but not top 5.
based on 7 underclassmen declaring for the draft, I think LSU will struggle to be better than top 20.
Bama will be licking their chops for revenge.
i think next year is going to be really tough. my gut right now, 2 new out of the same old 4 teams.
I’ll be curious to see where majority of the transfers go. If they were smart they’d transfer to Ohio State. Ryan Day is a beast. I’d put them up there as a championship favorite. Hell, they could very well meet Clemson in the championship. Gonna call it right now.
i suspect they might as well but I am not calling it until i see the games.
I kind of rushed putting this out, but I would of loved to have had a poll for it. I put it together literally Sunday near midnight.
don’t worry about it, great article!
