Clemson at LSU

When: Saturday, Sept. 5 | Early line: LSU -11.5

One of these teams signed the nation's top-ranked transfer class, while the other is slotted at No. 66 overall. You can probably guess which one owned the portal. Lane Kiffin is out for blood in Year 1 with the Tigers with a new-look roster and coaching staff in Baton Rouge. Dabo Swinney made necessary personnel changes at his program as well but is running out of opportunities to get back to the top. Clemson hasn't won a College Football Playoff game since 2019 and has lost three straight season openers. Spoiling Kiffin's debut at Tiger Stadium is going to be a challenge as a double-digit underdog, the largest spread against Clemson since Georgia (12.5 points) to open the 2024 campaign. Prediction: LSU 31, Clemson 17

We finally have a coach that I trust to run the score up and embarrass the opponent given the chance. And I expect that vs Clemson to make a statement.

Can we put the team on buses and drive around the stadium and run down a hill.

I don’t see Clemson scoring at all. They’re not going to be any good this season.

They return Wesco and Moore at WR. Defense will still have a few studs. They’ll be OK

34-17 Tigers

I think it will be pretty similar to last year. I’d be shocked if it wasn’t a close game.

I don’t think so at all. For one LSUs offense with Lane Kiffin will definitely surpass 17 points. At LSU as well. Unless Dabo went God mode in the offseason on the defensive side in the portal. I mean even LSUs dogshit offense last year should’ve had 24 points on Clemson at their house but they took away an obvious TD.

We actually do that but we WALK down Victory Hill before the game.

The bus and the running down the hill with their little cannon on the dolly was one of the dumbest things I have seen in years!

What do we think the odds of game day are? There aren’t any other good games. My fear is Clemson is so bad and we have much better games later on they may save it for later in the season

You may be right about GD. Horrible slate of games that day. The only other decent game is Louisville at Ole Miss but they will save the Ole Miss visit for Lane's return.

Tigers (LSU) will roll at home. Blowout win just like the VT way back when.

Despite all the new faces on the roster this is the most confident I've felt going into week 1 in a very long time.
