Joe Burrow and the LSU Tigers are the kings of college football

The LSU Tigers won their first national championship in 12 years on Monday night in New Orleans.

There’s a new king in college football.

Joe Burrow and the LSU Tigers won a heavyweight battle against the Clemson Tigers on Monday night in New Orleans to claim the program’s first national championship since the 2007 season.

Burrow put on quite a show in LSU’s 42-25 win, tossing for 463 yards and 5 touchdowns. He was helped out by wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase who posted a ridiculous 9 receptions for 221 yards and 2 touchdowns. Justin Jefferson caught 9 passes for 106 yards.

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a more impressive two game performance than what Burrow showed us in the College Football Playoffs.

In two games — against some of the best competition in the country — Burrow passed for a ridiculous 956 yards and 12 touchdowns. He also rushed for two touchdowns.

Completely insane.

We might never again see the likes of what Joe Burrow and the LSU offense did in 2019.

There’s no doubt the best team in the country hoisted the trophy on Monday night in New Orleans. LSU was the best team all season and it wasn’t particularly close. The way they steamrolled through the playoff puts them, in my opinion, among the greatest college football teams of all time.

I mean, what a story. Joe Burrow, a transfer from Ohio State. Ed Orgeron, a native of Louisiana, who was mocked by a lot of reporters when he was named LSU’s permanent head coach in 2016. Two years after losing to Troy at home. All the adversity.

And it results in a national-freaking-championship.

Unbelievable.

Soak this up for as long as you can, Tiger fans. I don’t know what 2020 holds, but this is a championship worth celebrating all spring/summer.
