ClemPson- is this intentional?


I was just about to start a thread asking that same question. It's fricking stupid.

Do other schools call us EllaShoe?

That result and margin of victory doesn't matter much at all, especially since Clemson played them in week 2.

If I'm trying to predict a game result based on prior games, I'd probably try and find an offensive and defensive unit that Clemson played against that compares well in style to LSU's respective units.

For example, I do think A&M and LSU play similar defensive styles (3-4 base with single gap DL responsibilities, a lot of man coverage, and disguised rushers) so that may be an apt comparison to see how well LSU can match up with Clemson's offense. I recall A&M doing well in that game on defense, but like I said that was very early in the season so might not be the best comp for the 15th game.

As far as LSU's offense, I'd say they are very similar in scheme to OSU given blocking schemes, route concepts, and RPO foundation. Clemson struggled at first, but adjusted well. Unfortunately for Clemson, Fields sucks at throwing the ball so LSU will probably have a lot more success.

To be fair we also could have scored way more than 50 against A&M

It would imply LSU beats Clemson 50-24, obviously.

Thoughts?


Was there a lot of rain during A&M @ Clemson? No, but it was 91 degrees at kick off. Lawrence didn't play well Clemson's first 5 games or so not much of any bearing.
