Louisiana clinch collegiate football crown
LOS ANGELES: Heisman Trophy winner Joe Burrow threw for five touchdowns and ran for another Monday to lead Louisiana State University to a 42-25 triumph over Clemson in US college football’s championship game.
On a night that began with rousing cheers for US President Donald Trump, attending the game at the Superdome in New Orleans with First Lady Melania Trump, Burrow completed the rare trifecta of winning the Heisman Trophy as the country’s top college player, completing an undefeated season and capturing the championship.
"This is just so special, I’m kind of speechless," said Burrow, whose five touchdown passes and 463 passing yards were the most for a Bowl Championship Series or College Football Playoff title game. His fifth passing TD finally sent defending champions Clemson to their first defeat since January 1, 2018, ending their streak of 29 victories. Burrow connected with Terrace Marshall Jr. for a 24-yard TD that capped the scoring with 12:08 remaining.
