And yes, I realize the teams may be approaching this game differently than the fans. Still think Clemson will be more "excited" to be playing us than vice versa
Absolutely ! If the LSU players have the same mindset as a lot of our fans, then the motivation factor might now be there. After LSU lost a heartbreaker to Alabama, the Tigers have struggled to put teams away. You play to win the game ! Hopefully, our Tigers, will finish exams and get excited about playing a quality opponent. A top 10 finish would be nice.

The way our defense has been playing and as good as their offense is it could be a close game.

Based on a great win at Texas A&M and a win over a good South Carolina team.
And how long ago were those games played? And they were pretty close score-wise, even so.

Kind of struggled some before, too.

Well our secondary does face Tahj Boyd and Sammy Watkins. I think that is a better duo than Wilson/Hamilton and Wallace/Moncrief.

LSU has a hard time covering 4 against Arky, Auburn, Ole Piss, and Townsen. LSU should win the game but they have a habit of making it interesting.

It did open at 7 last night. Clemson was obviously bet heavily to move the line down so much. Motivation is the key to covering bowl games. Someone, or make that, alot of people don't think LSU will be as motivated to play in the Chicken Sandwich bowl as Clemson.

They adjust those "opening lines" all the time. It may have opened at that line today, but I can promise you that last night it was -7 on 5dimes.

I don't bet but take that and run. This game will be ugly before half time.

It would be nice to see a really convincing LSU win for a change. When's the last time we've seen that happen this year? Did it?
