I'm always looking for solid discussion with Clemson opponents and thought no better place than here.

Here's a few links to articles I've written and I'd love to get feedback from you guys to see if you agree/disagree:

Clemson's Biggest Advantage: Clemson backs/ends vs LSU linebackers:

Clemson's Biggest Disadvantage: Clemson's D-Line vs LSU's O-Line and run game:

We have one of the best LB corps in the nation, and we're getting a starter back for the bowl.

You guys have no chance.

I'll give you guys Minter, but can they handle the backs & ends coming out of the backfield? Can they handle the crossing routes of the receivers?

I'm by no means an expert on LSU, but that looks like an area Clemson can take advantage of.

Don't think he was talking about Minter.

In your article about our weakness being our linebackers you fail to see the rock of our defense this past year. That person being Kevin minter who was the most underrated player this year. The guy is a hoss and our freshman linebackers will have no problem with the pass since they're built for speed. But we'll see.

That's a lot of advantages for a Clemson defense that was piss poor all season. How and the hell does this guy think Clemson LBs are better than LSU RBs, when y'all are giving up over 4 ypc on the ground.

I 100% agree - and Clemson will do anything and everything they can to minimize their impact, including max protect, screens, draws, jet sweeps, and read-option with them being the read.

That will be our biggest question mark

So what part of "one of the best LB corps in the nation" do you not comprehend?

LSU is the only team to hold the Heisman trophy winner from scoring a TD.

We excel at making high-scoring offenses look pedestrian. See Oregon and WV last year. We have more team speed on defense this year than you cumulatively seen in the last four.

Not only did Minter have over 100 tackles but Lamin Barrow did as well. And the article says that after getting pass our DL, the RBs shouldn't have any trouble getting 4-5 more yards due to how poor our LBs are.

I don't know that I ever mentioned any advantages for the Clemson defense. And I never said the Clemson linebackers were better than the LSU RB's. If anything, that is our biggest fear - that we can't get off the field and eventually fold.
