Clemson is led by star quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who is believed to be the No. 1 overall NFL Draft pick in 2021. He has logged 36 passing touchdowns (for fifth in the country) and 3,431 yards this season. Meanwhile, LSU’s 6-foot-4, 216-pound signal caller Joe Burrow is first in the nation in passing touchdowns with 55 and is second in total yards with 5,208. He needs just three more TDs to tie the FBS record for a single season. Burrow is expected to be a top NFL draft pick this year.
Given that Clemson is on a 29-game winning streak, including 25-0 with Lawrence starting, the Tigers have much to feel confident about heading into this year’s CFP title game.
