The LSU Tigers will return to Charles Schwab Field in Omaha (Neb.) this weekend for a College World Series Finals clash against the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers.

After stunning the Arkansas Razorbacks on Wednesday night and punching their ticket to the National Championship series, the Tigers are energized for this weekend's slate.

“I’m literally at a loss for words. Yes, it’s about getting to the ultimate goal, but honestly, it’s about getting five more days with this team. This is a model team. There hasn’t been anything quite like it. It’s been consistent effort since our first team meeting on August 24, all the way through the ninth inning tonight," Johnson said.

"Think about the walk-off wins we had at home against Arkansas, Tennessee. They just stay with it. Their mental toughness is like nothing I’ve ever seen. Their investment in the team—man, we’ve got guys who are going to play pro ball, but it’s not about that."

The stage is set for the Tigers where the program will open the College World Series Championship with a fiery Coastal Carolina squad looking to make a statement.
