OHio state was held way below their season average.


Not really, but 516 yards is a little below their season average, while Ohio State, on the other hand, held Clemson's offense to well below their season average.

Meanwhile, I couldn't care less what everybody said or about what happened last year or the year before with respect to Alabama. I mean that's completely irrelevant. And both teams are confident.

quote:

I believe if you can score on Clemson from outside the red zone in a constant manner, we are in trouble .



LSU has the number one red zone scoring offense in college football. Nevertheless, the majority of LSU scores don't come from inside the red zone but from beyond the red zone. Hence, if everything holds true, the majority of LSU's scores in this game will come from beyond the red zone.

quote:

On the flip side , if our wide outs show up, I think your defense is in trouble.



Furthermore, Clemson's receivers are not in the same league with LSU's receivers. If I were Clemson, that's who I would be worried about. Don't believe me, then go check the statistics. As statistics don't lie.

In addition, both of LSU's cornerbacks are future first-round NFL picks. Not to mention that Safety Grant Delpit is not only the Thorpe Award winner for 2019 but is also another projected first-round NFL pick.

Moreover, in the last three games of the season, LSU's pass defense has been the de-facto best in the country. Also, the last three QB's LSU has played have all been held to well below 50 percent in passing completion rate.

Meanwhile, in the last three games, LSU has held running QBs, like Jalen Hurts, to well below their season average in both running yards and passing completion rates and passing yards. While at the same time LSU has also held excellent running backs like D'Andre Swift, for instance, to far below their season average.

Indeed, I don't feel like Clemson presents insurmountable obstacles that can't be overcome judging by the way LSU's defense has been performing in the last three games.

quote:

Clemson will present a new challenge and speed overall that I don’t believe you have seen this year.



Give me a break, LSU not only plays in the SEC West but LSU has also played and beat six teams in the AP Top Ten Poll, with three of those teams being in the Top Four at the time that LSU played and beat them.

It's more like the other way around, Clemson hasn't experienced a team with the same level of speed and precision of LSU.

Meanwhile, Trevor Lawrence is not in the same league with LSU's Joe Burrow, and if you believe he is, then why has he passed for far fewer yards, threw more interceptions, and thrown far fewer touchdown passes than Joe Burrow? Oh yeah, why is Trevor Lawrence QB rating also way below Joe Burrow's QB rating as well?

quote:

As far as your competition this year, we do feel that you East SEC is overrated



Of course, you and everyone else who isn't a part of the SEC foolishly believe the SEC is overrated. Nonetheless, the SEC is by far the best football conference in America bar none. As most of the best teams in America reside here in the SEC. Just look at how many teams in the SEC will be ranked in the AP Top Twenty-Five Poll relative to the weak and pathetic ACC at the end of the season.

quote:

labama you beat but tua was hurt.



In the Alabama game, Tua's injury never came into play. Hence, it didn't slow him down or make him any less competitive. Just like when Tua broke his hip, his injury did not come into play. The only reason you say that is to attempt to delude yourself like a bona fide idiot.

quote:

Keep in mind not only Clemson fans believe we can win, several analysts believe that


I don't care what ignorant Clemson fans or ignorant analysts believe, Clemson doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of beating LSU Monday night.

As LSU not only has a far better offense relative to Clemson, but LSU's defense in the last three games has given up on average 100 yards less of total offense a game to stiffer competition relative to Clemson. In other words, LSU has the de facto better team.
