The College Football National Championship game is halfway over as No. 1 LSU is currently up 28-17 over No. 3 Clemson.
Twitter was abuzz talking about all the big-time plays during the first half of action. Check out some of the tweets below: Real WRU!!
Sheesh! https://t.co/L3TVOr3NIu
Wooooooo hoooo lower that shoulder big fella #LSUvsCLEM #ClemsonTigers
Little ole CLEMSON.. It just means more ?? #LSUvsCLEM Them boys from that cow town built different
I'm trying my best to stay calm!!! ??
This is the first time #LSU has trailed by two scores all season.
LSU looking a lil overmatched.
Trevor is going to wish he had a bunch of these passes back.
Poor AJ Terrell had two pass breaks up early, is a really good CB. Now on the wrong end of two 50-plus yard Ja'Marr Chase catches.
Last 2 times Clemson pinned inside 10 yard line:

LSU O is super comfortable right now! Clemson going to now have to move on to plan number 2. Fake cramp is the start of it. Need to find some answers here.
Tyler Davis for Clemson is down with an injury that looked, well, not authentic
But here is the biggest key to the game. Burrow has hit on everything, as we all expected. All six of Trevor Lawrence's incompletions are overthrows, which is a career high for him via @ESPNStatsInfo
Lord Jesus I’m praying for #8 for @ClemsonFB Please help him Lord. #Truth
Anybody got the number to the @ClemsonFB phones on the sidelines? I need to holla at the corners at halftime. I don’t like to see corners get beat period! #Truth #CoachPrime
LSU has fired off 24 plays this quarter. Looks like the Clemson D is gassed and just trying to make it to halftime. Big third down upcoming.
They’re not calling it either way, but LSU O-Line is holding harder than Jack Dawson on a Titanic door in the Atlantic Ocean.
I feel bad for Clemson right now. It’s just God’s Plan. This is Joe Burrow’s world.
No QB had 3 Pass TD in a GAME vs Clemson this season... Joe Burrow just did it in a half. @ESPNStatsInfo
Clemson DC Brent Venables is really good with adjustments.. let's see what he's got next. Joe Burrow's taken over. Burrow threw for 186 yards... in the second quarter alone, and also did a lot of damage with his legs too.
Keys for Clemson in 2nd half:
The one weapon Clemson has that LSU can't stop is Travis Etienne, who reminds me of a young LeSean McCoy. What a slashing burst. Only way Clemson wins now is by feeding Etienne, controlling the ball, keeping Burrow off the field.
4-play, 96-yard TD drive vs. LSU
4-play, 94-yard TD drive vs. Ohio State
- use the middle of the field with Etienne and Gallaway
- don't get in 2nd-and-10 so often
- Lock JaMarr Chase in a port-o-john
- somehow get 30 minutes of eligibility for Trayvon Mullen
- "momentum"
