re: LSU needs to watch the CFP NCG from last year, or they will lose

Actually, LSU isn’t even close to Alabama last year. If I were you I wouldn’t bet on LSU self destructing like Bama did. I wouldn’t bet on 2 INT’s. I wouldn’t bet on LSU failing on 3 consecutive 4 down tries; much less even going for it on 4th down even once. But since you’re so confident, you should just go ahead and bet your families home on Clemson winning the game. That would be swell.

No need. Orgeron expects that they'll try to employ things that have been successful against them all year. He understands it's a copycat league. What we should hope is Clemson looks at the Auburn film, but does not look at the UGA game where they attempted to use the same looks as Auburn and got torched.

The could also look at the Alabama film, but Clemson's receivers are not as fast as Alabama's. They're just bigger. IMO, they are a much better match-up for our safeties.

LSU is similar to Bama last year & Clemson will have the same defensive philosophy - bend, but don't break.

LSU is pretty similar in a lot of ways.
But there are a few glaring differences.
1. Red Zone offense is MUUUCH better for LSU than Bama (78% to 68% on TDs - 97% to 82% overall)
So it'll be harder for them to "not break."

Also. LSU is muuuuch better at turning over passes. 17 Interceptions to 14 through 1 less game.

LSU has a lower opponent 3rd down conversion rate than bama did.

We average 40 more yards and 4 more points a game.
We've had 5 times as many games where we gained over 600 yards than we do where we were held to less than 470! You CANNOT stop this offense.

77.6 percent completion percentage to 69.
Burrow has thrown 12 more TD's than TUA did with the same amount of interceptions (with a game remaining).

I think the real kicker is this.. Bama only had 10 more offensive snaps through 15 games than we do now, with a game remaining. Our tempo is a real problem for defenses.

Although Bama's offense was prolific through 2018, LSU's is much more so. And more efficient. And although their defense may have been slightly better, ours is nearly equal while being better at forcing turnovers, and stopping drives.

This reeks of Bama alter to me.

Did Bama break pretty much every NCAA passing record last year and their QB win the Heisman by the largest margin in history?

Sheesh, you completely discredited yourself in the first 7 words of your post. Impressive.

You got a lot of downvotes, brother

but not many coherent arguments.

I think you nailed it.

This is how Auburn kept it close. Georgia. They'll need some misdirection plays to gain an advantage. Middle screens work great against a heavy blitz.

The Bayou Bengals will be able to get down the field, but Venables will change it up & get aggressive in the red zone.

Then we'll fight in the shade.

I came here to downvote a second time. They wont let me.
