They sucked this year, and they lose Klubnik which maybe they would add is a net positive.

I get it’s hard to project since the portal season still to happen but I would imagine they lose a bunch of production after this year.

I remember they were senior & junior laden like we were this year.

Probably not but it’s still an interesting non-conference game & rare matchup

The real Death Valley will be rocking. Season opener, Kiffin 1st game, extra pump to show off the roar of the real tigers. I’m excited already!!

Who would have thought 14 weeks ago that both teams would be in the circumstances they’re in now?

You never know until a few games are played. Same as this season. Have to wait and see.

Depends on whether Dabo gets over his arrogant refusal to use the portal and NIL.

I can see the line being double digits depending on how the portal goes.

But they don’t portal at all, they sucked this year and are losing everyone

If Dabo doesn't portal good and LSU does it can be. It probably won't, but it very well could.

I’m more concerned about the stretch of @Auburn, bye, Bama, Texas, @Tennessee. We got hosed. Bama did too by the way as well with a similar 4 game stretch.

It’s Georgia who got the guaranteed playoff schedule in the SEC.

They lose a shite-Ton of High draft picks… particularly on Defense !!

They also lose both Tackles on the offensive line and their top WR, in addition to Klubnik. The QBs on their roster have almost no experience, and haven’t generated much buzz or optimism within the program.

On defense, their much heralded DL didn’t live up to the hype, but they were talented and will be gone.

They also lose their most experienced Linebacker, who was the leader of their defense and play caller for the past two seasons.

AJ Terrell’s little brother was their best DB, and he just declared for the draft. He was one of the few bright spots for Clemson this season.

It all depends on the portal. Clemson didn’t live up to expectations in 2025, but they lose a lot of experience, and will be thin and young next season unless they supplement heavily in the portal.
