Clemson stormed back to go ahead 17-7, but in the second quarter, Burrow hit Chase for 56 yards, setting LSU up at the 3-yard line; Burrow ran it in himself for the touchdown. Burrow and Chase then teamed up for a 14-yard touchdown to finish off an 87-yard drive, and LSU was rolling.
But over the off-season, LSU coach Ed Orgeron vowed to bring the offense into the 21st century. He hired Joe Brady, an assistant coach for the New Orleans Saints, to develop a sophisticated passing game for offensive coordinator Steve Ensminger, turned the reins over to Burrow and presided over what was, by some measures, an offensive turnaround unprecedented in the game's history.

Storybook ending for his college career.
What a fantastic win, they deserved it! A good night, the crowd cheered Trump and chanted USA!
