LSU quarterback Joe Burrow led his team to a perfect 15-0 season and a national championship, dethroning Clemson with a 42-25 victory late Monday night at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans.
Finishing an incredible season that included a Heisman Trophy win, Burrow went 31-for-49 for 463 yards and five passing touchdowns — plus another one on the ground — and broke multiple in-game and season-long records. And he celebrated the phenomenal year and title like a champ.
Thanks to video and photo evidence from multiple media members, Burrow exited LSU’s locker room smoking a cigar inside the Superdome on his way to the team’s press conference.

That’s a winner and a legend right there.
And it sounds like Burrow kept his stogie with him (or at least lit) throughout his press conference because when his time at the podium was over and he stood up to leave, LSU coach Ed Orgeron said to him with a laugh: “Take it easy on that cigar, boy.”
