re: Worse loss? Clemson or LSU?

Duke kept Clemson from developing any sort of rhythm. LSU had the rhythm, but could not capitalize. I feel Clemson will be an easier fix because Duke showed they are not the pushover they have been. Elko has not lost a home game since taking over. Expect them to be a top 15 team, this year. Maybe higher ranked than LSU, at some point.

How much less

For half a game

LSU looked the part for 2 quarters at least.

The national pundits have admitted LSU let the wheels fall off in the 2nd half but looked like a good squad to start the game

Yep. Lots of missed opportunities. LSU controlled the first half despite the close score. They left AT LEAST two (arguably three) TDs on the table. If that's a 31 or 38-14 game at halftime, good chance FSU's spirits would've been in the toilet. But we handed them the momentum and never stopped them from scoring in the second half.

Sure would've been great to have a tuneup game (like say....Grambling?) to clean up the early mistakes before taking on a national power, but....

Another game to emphasize out there is Baylor getting torn up by Tx. State and TJ Finley at QB. Baylor made TJ look like a Heisman candidate! I also don't buy the Colorado hype, but they easily took care of TCU too. These games make me wonder if the transfer portal and NIL is really starting to destroy our view of college football. Loyalty is out the window and you will start to rarely see a good or star player spend 3-4 years at one school. Where I am going with this is that we may start to see more shake ups in Top 25 than ever before going forward...
