The "chess match" versus Clemson kept me on the edge of my seat.

1. Clemson D versus LSU O: I was irritated by Burrow using all of the play clock and risking delay of game penalties. It got us one delay of game penalty and caused two timeouts (one in the first half and one in the second). But it was obvious what was happening. The LSU offense would show a formation, Clemson would adjust, Joe would look to the sidelines, with 6-7 seconds left LSU would start to readjust with no time left for the Clemson D to readjust. Sometimes Clemson guessed right and made good plays. Burrow and the LSU O just made more of the right calls which led to making more plays. My big concern the first half was that CEH was not getting enough touches. However the running game did not disappoint because Joe supplied the needed running yards with his feet. LSU had to go to their 6th option (Joe's feet) and it proved to be productive. Clemson had and answer for everything except Joe's feet in some critical situations.

2. Clemson O versus the LSU D: Clemson offense inability to adjust after Aranda adjusted hurt them. Clemson came out on fire the beginning of the first and third quarters when the coaches had time to develop a plan of attack against the LSU D. The first quarter Clemson was killing our D on the edge. Aranda adjusted and our OLB remained disciplined and Patrick Queen focused on Etienne. I can't say enough about Queen's play. He shut down Etienne and forced the Clemson offense in to obvious passing downs. After Clemson made their last run early in the 3rd quarter Aranda adjusted and the LSU D clammped down. Clemson's O couldn't readjust.
