To be fair, if the Offense cannot stay on the field for more than 2 minutes per drive, and the Defense has to play the majority of the game, no one should blame the D for giving up too many yards, because they are simply playing defense scrimmage solely against an explosive offense and they will get tired eventually.

yeah, they only gave up 384 yards for the whole game

that is fricking amazing considering LSU had 2 first downs halfway through the third quarter. I mean seriously, put a great defense up against even an average offense for three solid quarters (with no relief) and you should see a lot more yards than that from the offense.

LSU had bout 220 yds of O for the game. No one sane is going to claim they did their job.

After 3 quarters, Clemson had bout 5 mins more in TOP and LSU had a 24-13 lead. The score looked good for us and the TOP, while in Clemson's favor, wasn't anything terribly off. imo

In the 4th, the LSU TEAM couldn't do anything on either O or D.

My only point in this thread was to say I couldn't label the LSU D, maybe pass D, I watched in the game as "great".

To carry that a tad further, I thought the LSU pass D, on the whole, was very disappointing much of the last 4 to 5 games.

You can certainly blame them for giving up a 4&17 first down
