Then we need to not get our interior OL injured without good backups

I could see us just playing at an elite level on offense and it being hard to score on our defense which isn't even close to the same as last year. we always have a good enough offense.

we may have to rely on the quick passing game with the new o line..they will have a gameplan that keeps the Clemson d line from pinning their ears back. heavy screen game.

If we lose it the BK seat will get toasty

This is such a tired take. When BK wins a game, it suddenly becomes "not a big game".

Who would you prefer? He has the second best win percentage of any coach in this conference at their current job, behind only Kirby.

If LSU couldn’t beat USC at a neutral site, they have zero chance of beating Clemson at Clemson

I mean, BK hasn't been good in openers, but it's a different year and a different team. Will be tough to get a W, but wouldn't say it's a zero chance game.

Might I ask what your pre game prediction was last year vs. USC?

It’s opening night at their house. It’s gonna be a dogfight and the home team will be favored and have all the momentum into the season.

What makes anyone think this year will be different?

BK coasts during the summer and his teams are behind when game one kicks off.

It is a combo of Clemson having several elite players, and LSU having a coach that can't win a season opener or other big games consistently.

The portal additions are nothing but a prime example of a roster full of holes in his 4th year.
Please explain the logic in this statement. The portal goes both ways. As long as we are recruiting high school players at a high level, a coach can't really control who exits via the portal. They have the ability to replace those portal defections to fill holes every year and this will be the norm from now on.

Clemson's last 2 opening season games:
2023 - 28-7 loss to Duke
2024 - 34-3 loss to UGA

0-3 vs SEC last season

Only quality win was a 3 point last second FG win over SMU

This should be a close game with Clemson with an edge due to home field

I posted in another thread but I agree with you. Clemson plays in a super weak conference. Last year the only teams they played with a heartbeat were Georgia, SC, and SMU. Georgia destroyed them, they lost to SC at home with everything seemingly on the line and like you said needed a miracle to beat SMU.

Yes they have some dudes that are currently ranked to go high in the draft, but so do we. I think we beat them by double digits and it doesnt hurt clemson either. They then go undefeated in conference and play for their conference championship for a shot at the playoffs.

USC ended up sucking and LSU managed to lose to them.

Clemson will likely have 3 of the first 10 players drafted. Take them for granted at your own risk.

I’m not “upset” just confused about the love the media is giving some of the players on their roster.

You would think if they had six future first rounders you wouldn’t get blown out by Tyler Shough at home.

I think there’s a big difference in playing South Carolina week 3 in Columbia than playing them the final week of the season in the comfort of your home stadium but that’s just me.

This Clemson team also is the exact same as last year, while we upgraded our talent significantly.
