As of today, what is y’all’s confidence level vs Clemson week 1 ?

I’m at a solid 6. On paper this is the most complete team Kelly has not only had at LSU but probably in his entire coaching career. At the same time though, this is probably our toughest opener in terms of degree of difficulty. On paper this Clemson team may be more challenging than that 2023 Florida state squad . Our new look o line vs Clemson’s front and our backend full of talented but new pieces vs a top 5 qb and prob the best wr trio we’ll see all year are the biggest questions (Ryan Williams the best wr we’ll face but as a wr corps Clemson is our biggest test imo ). We’re gonna have talented youngsters (Weston Davis, dj Pickett ) making their first career starts in a hostile environment

Having said that, I think we have a clear edge at wr vs their db’s and I think our defensive front can get after Klubnik. With how well this roster is built and Kelly knowing this had to be the year he puts it all together, I think well go into Clemson with a high sense of urgency and pull it out as of today.
