No. But, no one can. You guys will have a lot of success with that. Where LSU will beat you is that one pass will be intercepted after being deflected at the LOS and another after bouncing off a receiver's hands. Also, your QB will fumble once when sacked. At the end of the game you'll say, "We owned LSU. I can't believe we lost by ten points. If it wasn't for those three turnovers, that big kick return, and those missed tackles, we'd have won easily." And we'll say, "Dude, Clemson is the eighth team in the last two years to say this same stuff."

Yes. Not sure if this was supposed to be rhetorical or something but the answer is yes.

You're on an opponents message board 2 days before the bowl game. How do you not expect shite talking especially when the vast majority here feel (and probably rightly so) that Clemson is a far inferior team to us.
Grow some thicker skin and there's some good discussion to be had here, but realize that very few on this message board feel Clemson stacks up against us.

Oh and DIAF

If you're looking for a Clemson advantage, their biggest advantage is the WR's over our DB's. Our key to controlling that is making sure Boyd is very uncomfortable.
You'll be very surprised at how good and fast our LB's are other than Minter. They were the rock of our defense this year.

It's the internet, Clemson fans are the same way along with fans of every other team.

Backs dont make it to our linebackers.

LSU will have to put pressure on the QB or it could be a long day. Secondary has been exposed of late and these wideouts are no slouch. Making Boyd rush things will be the key.
Boyd will be the best QB LSU has faced if he is on. He has had a Heisman type year if you take away the INT's, which there are quite a few of. He's taken a lot of sacks as well.
If he is on, could be a long night for the secondary

I think this is a legitimate concern. Both of your DE's are big and good at tipping passes. Hopefully there are some throwing lanes in the middle or through designed pocket movement.

I'll give you that and after hearing you guys speak of your linebackers, maybe I've focused too much on their age and not enough on other things.
Even though your secondary has been burned some, they are still physical, which can disrupt the timing of our passing game.

We will blanket your recievers. Are safetys will be on POINT in run support and pass defense

This is more of a Clemson issue as in big games, we've been prone to abandoning things that work in favor of the homerun. It has resulted in a string of 3 and outs our defense couldn't cover.

Thetigerswag,
This is the WORST board in college sports to come have an intelligent conversation.
That being said, I expect that our defensive gameplan will be something like the last 3 quarters of aTm game. My true concern on defense is our young db's.
Clemson can prepare for physical play by hitting each other hard, but that will not help. We didn't just beat USCe, we physically pounded them and gained twice as many yards. Mistakes kept them in the game. I can spend a month sparring with the baddest dude at the local gym, but that doesn't mean I am ready for Tyson's uppercut. That is what will hit home in the second half Monday night.
Good luck! I expect your WR's will make some plays against our DBs.

Clemson has no advantage in this game. It will be a blow-out if Les doesn't call off the Tigers. Clemson's lines are weak and give up when pressured. Boyd gets rattled when pressured and turns the ball over. LSU's lines will easily control this game.

Yes we can handle the backs. Chavis never sacrifices speed for size.
Our linebackers minus the mike are the size if safeties. And weve actually had safeties converted to linebackers in the past.

, actually 
good luck getting anything but smack on this board. most who inhabit TD think we should curb stomp every opponent and if we don't win by 6 (td's, that is) our coaches suck or our kids are bums. I know Clemson is a fine school and Debo has recruited well and you have some solid skill players who pose real threats....but the game will be won in the trenches and that is where we normally excell. if we execute you are in trouble....if we don't (which we haven't on occasion) it will be very interesting. the '12 version of LSU football has been, frankly, inconsistant and it's been a 'box of chocolates' year.

Thanks for the kind words - and advice. In putting the article together, I was torn between the LBs and DBs. Went the LB route because of their youth and the physicalness of the DBs.
I too am concerned about the physical nature of you guys. How we respond to that will tell the tale...
