Welcome to the Audible presented by Trader Joe's.

I'm Stuart Mandel, joined by Bruce Feldman, the morning after LSU's National

Championship victory over Clemson.

We are still here in New Orleans, Bruce.

What do you think will be your lasting image of the game?

You know, I don't know.

I mean, because there was a lot of thoughts that were going through my head, just seeing

early on, it felt like when you're suiting next to me in the press box, it felt like

for the first couple of drives, where not much was going on, but then Clemson and had LSU

backed up in their own territory, a lot of zero blitzing.

They definitely, I think Brett Venables had the LSU offense on its heels.

And then Clemson started to go a little bit.

And then Clemson hit some big plays.

And I don't know, at one point it was 17-7 or something along the lines of that.

I think our colleague Ari Wasserman put out something that was like who covers Ohio State as if...

It's unclear. We all know Ari. It's unclear whether this was just a blatant troll job or not.

He said after watch, it was early in the game when he said, watching these two teams, I'm realizing. No, but there was two tweets. It was another one that was a reference to, well, LSU, like, they were fortunate that they got Oklahoma because they wouldn't have gotten through. You know, it was like, here comes the blowout from Clemson. We saw this movie last year against Alabama. I just remember thinking, right, this offense is going to get going. What I didn't really expect, Stu, was Trevor Lawrence, as talented and as gifted as he is, looked more like a freshman last night or, you know, on Monday night, than he did last year against Alabama when he actually was a true freshman. And so to see that, you know, it was just like, whoa, here it comes. It was like an avalanche. And it felt like, and this is where I was going with that, it felt like when we were sitting there watching it was like, all right, Clemson feels like they haven't dominated the first half, you know, the first half. But at one point it was like they had controlled the first half.

And all of a sudden now they're down by one.

And now they're like in a deep hole.

And LSU's getting the ball back.

It was just like, just felt like this thing was like destined to happen.

Yeah.
