Video: LSU Players, Coaches React to National Championship Win

On the field reactions after the Tigers clinch their fourth national championship

On the field, after LSU's monumental 42-25 championship win over Clemson, players and coaches alike ran up and down the field looking for the next guys to hug.

It was a moment culminated by a year of hard work and focus. LSU quarterback Joe Burrow called this team the "closest group of guys" he's even been around on a football field. 

"We have a lot of people coming back from last year. We had a young team last year that won a lot of games but should have won more," Burrow said during media day. "We understood that. That was the focus going into the year. I knew we had mature guys, talented guys, that could get to this point."

The leadership and machine like focus this group has shown all year long has been the backbone of the first 15-0 season in college football history. For its efforts, senior defensive end Breiden Fehoko hopes this team is remembered in the fashion it deserves.

"It's a team at their lowest point lost to Troy two years ago and two years later it's a team that's 15-0, winning a national championship," Fehoko said. "I don't know how many top-10 wins we had this year but I feel like we should go down as one of the best in college football history."

Here are a few on the field reactions and postgame interviews to capture a night that was filled with accomplishment and joy.
