No surprise that Third and Aranda is viewed as a liability. That is the only area I'm concerned about heading into the game.

That may very well be the case.

But it doesn't matter. What matters is, which defense can get more stops against the opponents offense. The defenses don't play against one another.

Expert:

He who travels more than 50 miles to speak on a given subject.

That was told to me by a State Senator when I was a Freshman..
AFTER they introduced him as an expert. lol

Auburn and Georgia has better Ds than Clemson, so we are ready to move the ball on Clemson and we will.

I would argue, Bama's was probably at least on par with them as well.

They have to maintain interest. It's hard to be objective as an LSU fan, but after watching what we did to UGA and others, I can see Clemson having difficulty staying within 14 pts. LSU's offense is just that good, and the defense is rounding into classic "LSU" form.
The only real question is Clemson, we don't know quite how good they are, because they've faced 1 good team this year (Ohio State) that matched up with them. And honestly, Ohio State looked to be superior in talent.

But you just can't say that and expect to get viewers.

If Clemson's defense is better than LSU's defense, then why did the Clemson defense give up an average of 359 yards of total offense against South Carolina, Virginia, and Ohio State, while LSU's defense only gave up an average of 259 yards against Texas A&M, Georgia, and Oklahoma?

If Trevor Lawrence is better than Joe Burrow, then why is his passing completion rate 10 percentage points less than Joe Burrow, why has he thrown more interceptions than Joe Burrow, far fewer touchdown passes than Joe Burrow, and for far less yardage than Joe Burrow?

In my opinion, both Brent Venables and Dave Aranda are the best Defensive Coordinators in college football. However, unlike the CBS pricks, I'm more partial towards Dave Aranda than I am Brent Venables.

Defense’s do sometimes score points but not 60 a game....that’s what it’s going to take to beat LSU’s fine tuned machine...
