The LSU Tigers capped off a perfect 2019 season with a 42-25 win over defending champion Clemson in the College Football Playoff championship game back in January.
Heisman-winning quarterback Joe Burrow was phenomenal, completing 31 of 49 passes for 463 yards and five touchdowns in LSU’s championship victory.
His counterpart, Clemson sophomore Trevor Lawrence, had the worst game of his college career, completing just 18 of 37 passes for 234 yards and no touchdowns.
Burrow would go on to become the No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft by the Cincinnati Bengals, while Lawrence returned to Clemson for his junior season.

Over the weekend, Lawrence announced his engagement to his longtime girlfriend, via his Instagram.
It didn’t take long for one Baton Rouge sports reporter to have some fun with Lawrence’s life-changing news, poking fun at how Burrow outperformed Lawrence in January.
Matt Trent, of WBRZ Channel 2 in Baton Rouge, signed off his Saturday evening sports segment with the announcement of Lawrence’s engagement.
This is how it went.

Lawrence responded via Twitter on Monday.
“Hahaha I love when grown men try this hard to talk about me,” Lawrence said.
He deleted the tweet shortly thereafter. So, how long until college football begins?
