SEC Championship
Game Review
LSU remained perfect on the season as the Tigers cruised past Georgia 37-10 in the SEC title game. Quarterback Joe Burrow likely clinched the Heisman Trophy several weeks ago, but he left no room for any doubt on Saturday in Atlanta. Burrow threw for 349 yards and four touchdowns he connected with Justin Jefferson seven times for 115 yards and a score. The Tigers (13-0, 9-0) clinched the top spot in the College Football Playoff rankings and will take on Oklahoma in the first semifinal. The convincing win allowed LSU to leapfrog Ohio State to take over the No. 1 ranking, so the Buckeyes now must play Clemson in the other semifinal. This is LSU’s first SEC title since 2011 and Ed Orgeron’s first league championship as a head coach.
