CFB: Clemson, LSU look to capture title
The sixth annual College Football Playoff national championship will occur tonight on Monday, Jan. 13 in Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans between #1 LSU (14-0, 8-0) and #3 Clemson (14-0, 8-0). LSU comes into the season with Joe Burrow (5,208 yards, 55 touchdowns), Heisman Trophy winner, at the helm. Meanwhile, Clemson, who is the defending national champion, has unbeaten Trevor Lawrence (3,431 yards, 36 touchdowns) behind center. Ed Orgeron's team is superior on the offensive side of the ball, averaging 48.9 points per game, compared to Dabo Swinney's team, who puts up 45.3 points a night. On the defensive end, Clemson gives up just 10.6 points per game, while LSU allows 21.2 points. It should be a great battle between two of the best teams in recent memory. Who are you taking?
