re: For those who think the Clemson game will still be close in the 4th..how so?

B. do you think long hair lawrence will be able to answer every single lsu drive and our defense will simply have no stops?

If Sam Ehlinger and Texas can, then it is not beyond the realm of possibility that Lawrence and Clemson can

please note can does not mean will, just a possibility.

like Auburn

We've played against good teams this year that have tried different things to slow us down. Some have worked more than others but we have had answers every time and came out on top. Chances are that anything Clemson tries to throw at Joe and this offense they will be ready for. The same can't really be said about Trevor Lawrence and their offense.

What do you think Clemson will have to hold Burrow and your whole offense to .(yards and points), in order to have a chance . This is a hypothetical question. I know a lot of you think your gonna blow our doors in so by answering this you are not saying you think it is gonna happen .

Clemson defense will force some stops. I foresee a close LSU victory. If we turn the ball over, we will lose.

do you think we're the same team we were in september?

no, the defense is playing better and the extreme heat was probably also a factor but Lawrence is a lot better than Ehlinger, Ross/Higgins are better than Texas WR and Etienne is way better than any RB Texas has. shite Trask moved up and down the field on us for a half in like is second start, so again its not impossible for Clemson do it even though our D is playing better

Calm down bru it’s a joke. Should be a very good game. Good luck to y’all.

This game feels like the Bama game...we will jump out to quick big lead...Clemson always starts slow...then we hold on for 10 pt win.

Ever heard of ball control?

Long, scoring, time consuming drives can keep Joe off the field better than any defense can.

It's how the so-called superteam scoring machines are usually beat in such games. Nebraska had a super team, a legit one, then it ran into Miami in the Orange Bowl. Miami was an unknown at the time. Miami played ball control, ate up that clock while scoring touchdowns.

Then Nebraska was so used to blowing out teams all year long that it's starters weren't used to playing in the fourth quarter. Fatigue began to play a role.

Go see Sugar when Bama beat Miami. Super offense was kept off the field. That is how you beat Joe Burrow. Long drives that eat clock and score.

I don't think any of those things WILL happen but if some combination of A. and C. do happen then we could be in for a game.

We need to finish drives (at least early) with touchdowns to get out to a comfortable lead.

It's not like Joe has ever really choked up when we're down or tied. He did throw an interception while we were down to Auburn, but it was at their 2 yard line and the defense forced a three and out. He had another interception while we were up 7 on Texas, but all others were in trash games. My point being we don't necessarily know how he'll respond if he throws an interception deep in our territory early in the game and Clemson jumps out to a lead. I suspect he'll respond like typical Joe, but who knows.

So.. barring multiple turnovers.. and the inability to consistently score touchdowns in the red zone, we'll win by 10+.

Besides Northwestern State, this team just doesn't come out flat. It's not one of those situations where we just have an off game and lose because of that. We're better than Clemson and unless we freak out after a turnover and play extremely tight or something unexpected, they're screwed.

Anyone who thinks LSU will win easily is NUTS-all of you in here who think the LSU offense is unstoppable is really getting set up for disappointment!!
