Don’t worry I come in peace. I would just like to hear from you guys your honest opinions for the game this Saturday. Who do you think is going to win (Obviously most of you will say LSU and that’s fine) What do you think the score will be? What do you think LSUs biggest weakness is? What will LSUs biggest strengths be? What do you guys think Clemson’s biggest weaknesses will be and what will our (Clemson) strengths be this game?Me personally, I think it will be a close game with the potential of the final play being the winning play. I honestly think this is a 50/50 game. I’m picking Clemson to win in a close game (Clemson 30 LSU 27) but I honestly do think LSU does have a pretty decent chance of upsetting us.
Even though I do think it will be a close game, I wouldn’t be gobsmacked if you guys win in a blowout. In the last decade we’ve had a few big games like this with a very talented Clemson roster only to lose in a blow out. If we can lose that badly to a mid Duke team back in 2023 then we could definitely have a bad lost to a top 10 LSU team.Or this Clemson team could make me proud Saturday night and blow out you guys instead but like I said I think it’s more likely going to be a close game this weekend. I’m not very familiar with LSUs roster but I’m going off of what I’ve been hearing on Tigernet (I’m from Tigernet btw). So if I get anything wrong then please just correct me.From what I’ve heard it seems like you guys biggest weakness is your Oline. I’ve heard that there will be a lot of new faces protecting your QB this year. We have one of the best DLines in the country. So I think we have a really good chance to win at the line of scrimmage defensively against a young LSU OL. One of the strengths you guys may have is at the WR position. I’ve heard that you guys have a lot of speed at that position and we have some question marks with our secondary players. So I’m very curious who will win that position battle. Again I’m not that familiar with LSUs squad so if I got some things wrong. Please tell me.As for our strengths and weaknessesI would say that our strengths would be QB, WR, OL, and DLWe got a Heisman trophy favorite in Cade Klubnik with a good and experienced OL to protect him. Plus I have faith in our receivers this year. Our Dline should be one best in the country this year.The big questions for us is the RB, and our secondary DB positions. We have a brand new RB room this year with our RB1 being a former WR turned RB for us and our second best back is a freshman. Although there are promising signs from training camp that Adam Randall (RB1) could be a great RB for us this season and that freshman I was talking about is a 5 star recruit. So I’m not too worried about that position but as of now it is an unproven position group for us. We will just have to wait and see how they do this year.Our secondary has had its ups and downs the last few seasons and we’ve missed a bunch of tackles from them last season. I hope that our new defensive coordinator can help fix up those mistakes but it’s another wait and see scenario.Now if there is one position that I’m pretty sure is going to be a weakness for us it would be the punting position. We have 3 punters still battling to be the starter for us and it looks like all 3 aren’t that good and at the very best may be average punters.


I made it shorter so it would be easier to read. Sorry about that. I put wayyyy to many spaces in my post.

I put my thoughts in this thread in tNet yesterday

quote:

Think it will be close. Anyone predicting a blowout either way is either trolling, got into the goodnight clemsons a little early, or just plain dont know ball.

Im cautiously optimistic our defense will be much improved. Bringing in so much talented, experienced dudes from the portal has to pay dividends. Facing your offense in DVJ in game 1 will be a test though.

As for our offense, too much is being made about our Oline. Yes they couldn't run the ball last year. Most of that was our interior OL (Center) struggling to hold up. Again we have addressed with with 2 two year p4 starters in Moore (center) and Thompson (G.. didn't give up a sack in 2 years in the b10).

And I have a healthy respect for your invidual players in your front 7, especially TJ and Woods, but you are returning mainly the same defense that was pretty bad last year. Couldn't stop the run, were 100+ ranked in first downs given up, and your secondary was suspect at given up chunk plays. Not a good recipe vs our pass catchers.

Yes I know about Tom Allen. Is he gonna fix everything in game 1? I could see a bug improvement to your defense under his leadership but I wouldn't expect a complete 180 in week 1. Just look at how sloppy week 0 was for a prime example.

Also Nuss ain't the statue yall are making him out to be. He lack of running was 100% mental last year. He was clocked at 21mph in practice. He can run and its been an emphasis in the off season. Yall are gonna be genuinely surprised Saturday night to see GN take off running while your DBs are turned around chasing 3 4.4 speed WRs.

Gun to my head I see a 31-27 Geaux Tigers victory and it might come down to special teams. Altho I hear your punt game is next level

WTF? It’s a college FB game for Chrissake. I have no idea what to expect but if BK does not have the team ready for this opener I would rather he stay in SC. So there. lol

Our o-line has a bunch of new faces. But we have recruited very talented players. We also have a Heisman QB with the fastest wr's in the country. We literally have ten players that could be legitimate starters.

And we probably have the best defense that we've had in ten years. If our offensive line holds up, it's going to be tough to beat us. Roster is stacked.

TLDR. Klub-dick is overhyped.

Excited to see our defense play at all 3 levels. It’s hard to argue we didn’t drastically improve there, and a significant part of that is addition by subtraction - mainly at S

LG seems to be the most questionable spot, followed by the OL in general learning to play together. I wouldn’t call it an inexperienced OL, we just don’t know how they play together.

Why do you feel so confident in Clemson’s DL? Individual talent, sure. Ranked 83rd in rushing allowed last year. Not exactly a murderer’s row of a schedule either.

Tom Allen just fixes it with the snap of a finger?

Clemson OL was 58th in sacks allowed and 56th in rushing yards. Again, not a great schedule. Another year of Matt Luke probably improves that though.

We have veteran guys that should be even bettor then last years squad plus we were voted the number 1 dline by several national outlets.

I don’t think Tom will magically fix everything this year but some of the problems we had on defense the last few years were because of coaching. I think we will improve this year with Tom Allen being a wayyy bettor coach then our last defensive coordinator. That’s not to say that we will be the number 1 defense this year or anything close like that but I don’t think we will be as bad as last year.

Over the course of the year, yeah you’ll be better on defense. Saturday? Ehhhh.

I see this game as an expected QB showcase, so naturally both defenses will do everything they can to disrupt the QB. The team that’s able to run the ball most consistently wins (random turnovers aside). We have a RB. You have a WR at RB.

Close game. Probably down to the last possession as you said. May the best team win.

Tie game or LSU lead at Halftime. Dabo makes adjustments, LSU doesn't. Clemson makes more plays in 2nd half to win.
