Clemson has the #1 ranked team defense in CFB but they obviously havent had the toughest schedule. Also, LSU already demolished the #2 team defense in UGA. Is Clemson's defense really better than Auburn, UF, and UGA?

No. They will be getting the red headed step child treatment like everyone else.

Talent-wise no.

Scheme-wise yes. Venebles is that dialed in.

I feel Bama, Georgia, and Auburn are better, at least talent wise than Clemson on D.

They gave up 500+ yards last night. OSU made allot of mistakes that could have easily put the game away. Dropped td in end zone, wide open screen pass could have walked in the end zone. Ran into the punter ended up a Clemson td. Osu seem like they moved the ball pretty effectively

Idk if they’re vastly more talented on D than some of the teams we’ve played, but Venables is the best DC we’ve faced off against

No way. They have average lb’s that will be exploited. Clyde will eat.

I think it’s on par with Auburn and Florida, but their offense is much better.

This is a final boss level opponent.

Auburn’s is better all around but I think they’ll get the most pressure. Gotta make em pay. Their red zone D is impressive which is an area we struggled vs Auburn.

No, this is not the same type of defense that Clemson has had recently; they are nowhere near as good up front in the defensive line. In addition, the ACC was very weak this year, and Clemson should have lost to North Carolina. Ohio State was not as good as people think. If we limit Etienne, we win the game.

Clemson has the #1 ranked team defense


And LSU has #1 offense

This will be the storyline ESPN will push.

But under the eye test Clemson may be the 5th best defense we've seen

AU, UGA, and Bama’s d are all better. However their O is pretty good. No better than Alabama though talent wise.

It’s not even going to be fair to watch what the LSU offense is going to do against those slow white boys on Clemson’s defense.

LSU by 20.

Clemson blitzed a lot and OSU qb play was not that great. Divinity is coming for #16. Joe beats the blitz and Clemson is in trouble.

Best defense? No IMO

Best DC that adjusts really well? Yes

I think Auburn had the best defense we played this year.

They have as many highly rated recruits as anyone in the nation.
They are loaded with NFL guys just like bama and LSU. They will be tough. That being said, I’m not sure anyone can stop LSU.
