Clemson's D is suspect at best vs good offenses

This isn't last years Clemson with 3 DL drafted high.

This year's version has great stats, but look at their cupcake competition.

tOSU smoked them for 500+, and they are known more for their defense then offense prowess. Even Virginia put up some fairly gaudy numbers on these clowns.

They play so few quality teams, it's hard to get a measure on them, but judging by what I've seen this game is gonna go like the semifinal with them down 16-0 but LSU, unlike OSU, will keep the pedal down and end it by the the start of the 4th quarter in a rout...

I've got LSU covering both spreads, 56-21

But Clemson’s defense shut down the best passing offense they played all season which was Wake Forest. Their D is legit.

The entire team gets exposed. Good team no doubt but they get exposed

You people are really going to be hurting Monday night. It's okay to believe y'all will win but 56-21?? Cmon man live in this world. We have up 23 and 17 to OSU and UVA so keep trashing our D if you want to but that is much better than y'all have been against some Os that couldn't score 10 points against us.

I think you are pretty close to spot on

Their defense is pretty good but didn't look too good vs Ohio St. Just did what they needed to get done

Yep more so against good or even decent QBs.

Their offense is humming though!

It’s converting yards to points.

They’re good in the redzone.

But I also Feel like Burrow is much better than Fields which gives you a huge edge.

Watch TopBillin' latest. From what it looked like they play 4 safeties. There will be a safety on Jefferson in the slot. You make your own conclusions with that one.

That’s absurd. Hell, that’s pure fantasy. You be trippin’ dude.

I think our Tigers will win but it won’t be a blowout. Clemson will be the most balanced offense we’ve seen. They have a great QB, a great RB and two next level WRs.
LSU counters with an even better offense.

They’ll score. We’ll score.

One team’s defense will be the difference: a forced turnover or a key stop.

Mark my words, LSU’s offense will put so much pressure on Clemson to match it score for score that Trevor Lawrence will start taking more chances. He’ll go after Stingley, like a fool, and throw INT #1 then he’ll think he has a huge play downfield until Delpit comes running across for INT #2.

LSU - 48
Clemson - 37 (late garbage TD like OSU in ‘08 to make it look closer than it really was)

To Clemson fans: You’re on a fricking LSU message board! What did you expect? Everyone here thinks Clemson is very good, but we also feel like LSU is more elite. And for the last fricking time, you’re 14-0, not 29-0...last year means jack shite!

Its all about the redzone... Rewatching their game against the Buckeyes and Ohio State was truly a way better team. Was dominating if we're being honest but they settled for FGs. If LSU continues their incredible redzone success I really think we will embarrass Clemson. If we do the same thing as Ohio State the game could be close. With our defense playing the best the have all year, I still have LSU by 14 regardless. SO PUMPED.
