The Clemson football program is searching for its fourth national championship — and third in four years — when they take on the top-ranked LSU Tigers in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana on Monday, January 13.
Clemson enters the game as the No. 3-ranked program in the nation, but Dabo Swinney’s squad is the reigning national champion after last year’s blowout win over Alabama.
The Tigers offense is led by star quarterback Trevor Lawrence and running back Travis Etienne. as they average a whopping 45.3 points-per-game.
On the defensive side of the ball, Clemson has allowed just 10.6 points per game, which is the best defensive unit in the nation. The Tigers have also allowed a nation-best 244.7 yards per game throughout the season.
Who are the players responsible for the Tigers’ success this season?
The full roster can be seen below.
