1 for 6 in season openers since 2019.



quote:

Lane Kiffin compiled a 5-1 record in season openers during his six-year tenure at Ole Miss (2020–2025).




quote:

2020: Loss vs. #5 Florida (35–51)

2021: Win vs. Louisville (43–24)

2022: Win vs. Troy (28–10)

2023: Win vs. Mercer (73–3)

2024: Win vs. Furman (76–0)

2025: Win vs. Georgia State (63–7)




Granted Clemson will be better than most of those wins, maybe comparable to Louisville? But def not gonna be on the level of a #5 Florida team.

I feel pretty good about our chances

Aren’t we like 1-5 in our last 6 season openers? Nothing is a given, some y’all need to understand that and pump the brake brakes. I’ll just take a win.

Don’t get ahead of yourself.
Clemson won’t be a pushover. They still have talent. Dabo may have missed the boat on NIL and the portal but recruits and retains well.

We have no idea how quickly the offensive gels and becomes a unit or how well Leavitt does in a new offense.

In 2022, 23, 24 there was plenty of talk this prior to FSU and USC. True we were guided by a head coach who was all hat and no cattle but there were a lot blowout predictions.

You prove it on the field.

Our offense is NOT gonna be a jugernaut especially in Game One.

Folks: LOWER your expectations. We will beat Clemson but it will not be a blowout.

I think it’s gonna be a perfect storm reminiscent of 48-7 vs Va Tech. And we finally have a coach who isn’t afraid to run up the score. Lane is gonna make a statement game 1.

Clemson is awful. I can’t see them winning 7 games this season.

Holy shite. Their offense will struggle to score even two TDs

Dashawn spears is the best Nickel in the SEC. When he plays starter snaps, he looked like a first round talent

Easiest bet of the college football season is Clemson +whatever it’s growing to. I think it’ll be around 13.5 before the game starts. It’s week 1. LSU is new everything except defense. I think it’ll be 21-13 24-14 type game. Clemson scores late to beat the spread.

Does Clemson still have the quarterback from last year?
QB Cade Klubnik whom we faced in the opener last year is gone. Clemson's projected starting QB is Senior Christopher Vizzina for the 2026 season opener.

Just don’t do this to yourself. Our fans do this every year and it hasn’t turned out well recently. Sit back and hope we play well and that its loud and that we win, whether by 1 or 30.

I doubt this seriously. It'll likely be a four-quarter game

So realistically Lane is 1-1 in openers the last six years. Troy, Mercer, Furman and Georgia State are essentially pickup games.
