Clemson v LSU Kicking Game: The Deciding Factor

I think we can all agree the worst case scenario is Clemson is able to keep this close at the end. Let's just say....in some fluke world...they get a couple breaks....their D holds a couple times...whatever.

If that happens, I think we still have the advantage for the win.

Below is a comparison of Clemson/LSU kicking games:

FG:

LSU (21/26 81%) Clemson (13/22 .59%)
8-8 20-29 5-6 20-29
4-4 30-39 3-6 30-39
5-9 40-49 3-8 40-49
4-5 50+ (lng 52) 2-2 50+ (lng 51)

Cade's stats really could have been better. He had a couple of balls where he planted too close, which caused his swing plane to come over the top and create too strong of a right to left movement on the ball. I'm positive he recognized this and made corrections. Give me anything 55 yds inside of 55 for a game winner and I think Cade seals the deal.

Like Cade, Potter is young (soph)...but has had some bad misses. Dabo berated the kid on the sidelines after a couple misses, spoke poorly of him in the press and actually benched him a bit. Dabo has messed him up almost as bad as Saban messes up his kickers. Potter will be " ...in his head..." if the game is on the line.

Our Punt Games are very similar, and there is no need to even speak of Kickoffs.

At the end of the day.....Freshman Kicker Cade York will be the difference.
