OHio state was held way below their season average. I believe they scored only 2 touchdowns for the entire game. Everyone believed that Ohio will beat us and maybe they should have but they did not and don’t point out to the bad calls please. They had their chances up to the last play and the several dropped balls and not scoring TDs in the red zone. We can debate the bad calls all day but they made plenty of mistakes including roughing the kicker.

Alabama last year ( not relevant for this year) was suppose to beat us badly. The point is we have confidence when everyone picked against us, we won and trashed TUA.

I believe if you can score on Clemson from outside the red zone in a constant manner, we are in trouble . Inside the red zone, it is harder. That will be our key to the defense. I believe you will be able to walk up and down on us but you must score and can you?

On the flip side , if our wide outs show up, I think your defense is in trouble. With the threat of us running the ball with ETN and Trevor, you will load the box and you will
Take your chance on the wide outs. Note Clemson attacked Ohio state with pulling ETN in the open space and he just made plays. Our run game through the middle was not there and our wide outs were held in check but our coaches used ETN in the space and along with our QB running capability we were able to counter their defense.

Clemson will present a new challenge and speed overall that I don’t believe you have seen this year. We believe Trevor Has a good release and a damn good QB.

As far as your competition this year, we do feel that you East SEC is overrated especially Georgia and they won the East. Alabama you beat but tua was hurt.

Keep in mind not only Clemson fans believe we can win, several analysts believe that . So the game has to be played and maybe the best thing that happened to us is that we had a close one with Ohio and you scored 8 TDs quickly on OU. So are you all of a sudden the super offense that showed up in the last game or is it Oklahoma is just did not play well.

I believe what Dabo initially said about this game . He said that it will be another close game just like the one we just had with Ohio state .

Besides you act as if you one already and we should not show up and planning your party already and I believe that is not realistic either . I think we have a damn good chance and it is game of match ups and until it is played , we don’t know .

Not really, but 516 yards is a little below their season average, while Ohio State, on the other hand, held Clemson's offense to well below their season average.

Meanwhile, I couldn't care less what everybody said or about what happened last year or the year before with respect to Alabama. I mean that's completely irrelevant. And both teams are confident.

LSU has the number one red zone scoring offense in college football. Nevertheless, the majority of LSU scores don't come from inside the red zone but from beyond the red zone. Hence, if everything holds true, the majority of LSU's scores in this game will come from beyond the red zone.

quote:

Furthermore, Clemson's receivers are not in the same league with LSU's receivers. If I were Clemson, that's who I would be worried about. Don't believe me, then go check the statistics. As statistics don't lie.

In addition, both of LSU's cornerbacks are future first-round NFL picks. Not to mention that Safety Grant Delpit is not only the Thorpe Award winner for 2019 but is also another projected first-round NFL pick.

Moreover, in the last three games of the season, LSU's pass defense has been the de-facto best in the country. Also, the last three QB's LSU has played have all been held to well below 50 percent in passing completion rate.

Meanwhile, in the last three games, LSU has held running QBs, like Jalen Hurts, to well below their season average in both running yards and passing completion rates and passing yards. While at the same time LSU has also held excellent running backs like D'Andre Swift, for instance, to far below their season average.

Indeed, I don't feel like Clemson presents insurmountable obstacles that can't be overcome judging by the way LSU's defense has been performing in the last three games.

Give me a break, LSU not only plays in the SEC West but LSU has also played and beat six teams in the AP Top Ten Poll, with three of those teams being in the Top Four at the time that LSU played and beat them.

It's more like the other way around, Clemson hasn't experienced a team with the same level of speed and precision of LSU.

Meanwhile, Trevor Lawrence is not in the same league with LSU's Joe Burrow, and if you believe he is, then why has he passed for far fewer yards, threw more interceptions, and thrown far fewer touchdown passes than Joe Burrow? Oh yeah, why is Trevor Lawrence QB rating also way below Joe Burrow's QB rating as well?

Of course, you and everyone else who isn't a part of the SEC foolishly believe the SEC is overrated. Nonetheless, the SEC is by far the best football conference in America bar none. As most of the best teams in America reside here in the SEC. Just look at how many teams in the SEC will be ranked in the AP Top Twenty-Five Poll relative to the weak and pathetic ACC at the end of the season.

labama you beat but tua was hurt.

In the Alabama game, Tua's injury never came into play. Hence, it didn't slow him down or make him any less competitive. Just like when Tua broke his hip, his injury did not come into play. The only reason you say that is to attempt to delude yourself like a bona fide idiot.

quote:

I don't care what ignorant Clemson fans or ignorant analysts believe, Clemson doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of beating LSU Monday night.

As LSU not only has a far better offense relative to Clemson, but LSU's defense in the last three games has given up on average 100 yards less of total offense a game to stiffer competition relative to Clemson. In other words, LSU has the de facto better team.
