LSU Football's 2019 National Championship Season is aging even better this week
The LSU Football team capped off one of the most incredible seasons in College Football history in 2019, going 15-0 and winning the National Championship. The team is often in debates now with the 2001 Miami Hurricanes, 1995 Nebraska Cornhuskers, 2004 USC Trojans, and a ton of other National Champions for the title of the greatest team of all time.
The case for LSU as the greatest National Championship winning team in the history of the sport got a little stronger this past week. As some of the Elite Young quarterbacks in the NFL continue to sign contract extensions and continue to prove themselves LSU's case as the best team ever is undeniable.
In Week 5 of the 2019 season, the LSU Tigers demolished lowly Utah State 42-6 but, they should've as that team lacked significant NFL talent right? Well this week Jordan Love became the highest paid quarterback in NFL history with his extension.
In Week 8, LSU beat the Auburn Tigers 23-20 which was the closest game all season. That Auburn team was quarterbacked by Bo Nix who was taken 12th overall in this years NFL draft by the Broncos.
In Week 9, LSU went into Bryant-Denny Stadium and beat Alabama 46-41 in a matchup of the two most talented teams maybe ever. The Tide were Quarterbacked by Tua Tagovailoa who signed a massive contract that makes him the third highest paid quarterback in NFL history. The Alabama team also had first round picks in Najee Harris, Henry Ruggs, Jerry Jeudy, Jaylen Waddle, DeVonta Smith, and several other highly picked players throughout the roster.
In the SEC Championship game LSU took care of business against Georgia who had future first round picks all over its defense.
In the Semifinal game, LSU faced off against Lincoln Riley's Oklahoma Sooners winning 63-28. The Sooners were quarterbacked by Jalen Hurts who at the time of his extension was the highest paid player in NFL history. The Sooners also had Ceedee Lamb at wide receiver who is waiting on a contract extension that will make him the highest paid receiver in NFL history.
Finally, in the National Championship LSU was crowned against Clemson winning 42-25 in New Orleans. Clemson was quarterbacked by Trevor Lawrence who kicked this cycle off this summer and still remains the highest paid quarterback per year. Clemson had elite weapons like Tee Higgins, Travis Etienne, AJ Terrell, Isaiah Simmons, and Andrew Booth.
LSU Football went on a run like none other
The LSU Football team may not be the best team or the most talented team in history in your book but, it's hard to find anyone who has played a tougher schedule. LSU reigned as the Nation's second or top-ranked team for the majority of the season while beating the ninth-ranked team twice, the seventh-ranked team, the fourth-ranked team twice, the third-ranked team, and the second-ranked team. Every week the Tigers faced one of the best teams in American and every week it was a celebration in Baton Rouge.
