Feel free to add to these...

Average time to throw for Nuss?
2.14 seconds. That's how the OL held up for 4 quarters.
That strategy worked.

After DJ Chester went down early, that OL featured 5 BRAND NEW STARTERS the rest of the way.

Monsoor Delane graded out higher than any player on the field last night. First game, first Game Ball. #DelaneIsland

Clemson rushed for 31 yds. 31. NOW we know why the D consistently beat the hell out of the Offense in camp. If it wasn't for gifting Clemson a FG with the fumble in the Red Zone, they allowed one TD all night.

Conversely -- had that SC Top 10 POTD one handed catch been correctly ruled a TD instead of an incomplete pass (?!?!) -- LSU scored a TD on their final three possessions. We wore them down and out coached em and executed.

LSU, having notched the most impressive Win of the entire weekend, SHOULD be Top 3-4 (with some #1 votes from the Calvinists), but most likely Top 5-6. Respect will be earned after the demolition of Florida in two weeks.

Will add more as I see interesting numbers.

Did you copy this straight from the PFF show?

The defense was salty, but I think the offense has the potential to wreck as well. Just need some reps.

I don't think Chester started.

I’m certainly most interested in how highly ranked they’ll be next week in the latest round of irrelevant polls.

Chester subbed in at LT for a few plays and was horrendous

This. Adams went out for a few plays and came back in.

The most impressive part of the defense was their tackling. That reminded me of our defenses of the past.

It's conceivable now that LSU will be favored all 11 remaining games.

Any OL holding penalties? Zero a first in forever if correct. Same with DB's P.I. calls?? One sack, minimal to no real QB pressers.

I don't think we've seen the full offense. Watkins amd Hilton are going to get alot of deep chances, but i don't think they were even part of the game plan last night.

If I remember right, they stopped them
before the refs picked up a flag on an offensive PI. That TD shouldn’t have ever happened.

In his defense, for some damn reason they ran a run play right to his side on the first play

This O is about to explode if BK allows it to.

Take away the first two and last drive where we played it safe, the O should have put up 27.

On the other side of that coin, Clemson repeatedly got no calls on blatant holding penalties, esp later in the game.

Booth Reviews; Clemson 5 for 5. That stunning incomplete pass call on what was a clear indisputable TD was *chef's kiss*

And don't forget the two obvious textbook intentional groundings didn't get called on them, either.

This was an arse whooping to anyone who watched.

He didn’t. He came in when the LT went out for a couple plays and looked awful.

This.

Gameplay last night seemed to be get the ball out to neutralize the Clemson D Line.

And it was effective
