re: Clemson's D is suspect at best vs good offenses

but no y'all will not score 45 points or more

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.

We scored 42 on Florida, 50 on A&M, 46 on Alabama, 37 on Georgia but did you watch the Georgia game? We took the foot off the gas in that game and started running the football so we could stay healthy for playoffs. We did what ever we wanted against Georgia and we also knew that their offense couldn’t move the ball so we weren’t near as aggressive against them. We knew Oklahoma could score so we turned it up in that game. We scored 63 points against Oklahoma, who had a decent defense. They had a better D then most of your opponents.

The Auburn game was the first game where a defense played 7 DBs against us and had a fresh DL who could put some pressure on our QB. We still moved the ball for nearly 500 yards but kicked more FGs in that game. Since then others have tried to do the same thing but we’ve learned from it and haven’t had a low scoring game since Auburn. That’s should tell you something. Georgia tried the same thing but we scored TD’s on them regardless.

I never said anything about 56 points but to think that it isn’t possible is crazy. I also never compared Ole Miss or Texas to Clemson. I simply said those guys had a good offense when we faced them. My other point is that we have put every team away very early except for Auburn, who gave us a look we didn’t expect and was earlier in the year. Burrow has seen every defense you could imagine this year. Georgia played as multiple as you could against us and didn’t stop us. Watch LSU WILL score near 40 or more. Every team in the country that LSU has played has said the exact same thing you guys are now.

Ohio State is good but they needed that run game for their QB to be effective and still he’s not even on the same planet as Burrow. I’ve watched those games and if you have you’d know that as well.

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

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.

The way I see it, tOSU went into a game with Clemson.
Every pundit in the college football world termed tOSU the most complete team in college football. And it surely looked that way in the first quarter.

That is where it ended.
It was ended by Clemson.

With an assist from the refs.

I mean, they took a touchdown off the board even after a review that definitively showed it was a catch, fumble and touchdown.

Without that gift, OSU wins. If OSU manages to score a touchdown on any of their three first half FGs deep in Clemson territory, they probably win the game even in spite of Clemson being gifted 7 points.

Let’s not forget the questionable ejection of a top OSU defender either.

OSU had 100 more yards of offense, and should have won the game.

Clemson played very well. But Ohio State looked like the better team, and had the game been officiated evenly, they probably win.

There’s not a huge difference between the two teams. I do think that Ohio State is slightly better than Clemson and hate that the game wasn’t decided by the players on the field.

I could copy and paste these responses from Bama boards last year. It's uncanny how identical they are.

It’ll come down to LSU’s ability to score in the redzone. Something has to give because Clemson is damn good at bend but don’t break and LSU is #1 in the country at redzone scoring particularly touchdowns.

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!

Lol. Clemson will get rolled. No disrespect.
