They are an underestimated team relative to their talent, and they are pissed off about it.

The QB is solid. His back up is supposedly a beast -- strongest QB they've ever had, and he's a Freshman. NFL quality WRs. Solid D. They are a good FB team.

They still have some talent there. They've averaged top 20 recruiting classes over the last 5 years. This whole thing is setting up to play in Dabo's favor with his lil ole Clemson BS.

They have a couple of good WRs as well. The QB has played somewhat decent in his very limited time.

I don't know if there's one particular area we should worry about with them. At the end of the day though, there's still some decent players on their team who want to make a statement as well. We saw Bama get beat by FSU last year to open the season, so it's not impossible for an upset to happen. I don't think it's likely, though.

How about our recent inability to show up and play a good opening game last year notwithstanding. We have been playing like shite on day 1 for about 7 years now.

Talking heads keep posting the old man qbs stats vs smu. But they leave out the 50.5 qb rating. Took lots of sacks and fumbled

Completely agree with that.

I know it's a new coaching staff, but I still think some of our fans should take a more believe it when I see it approach over a lot of the other rhetoric I've seen on here. Maybe we blow out Clemson like many predict, but I want to see it first.

Then again, maybe it's me who needs to be more optimistic. I guess I'm just scarred from the last 7 years.

They have good WRs and will have a disciplined defense.

We should worry about our team not gelling right away on offense with a new system, new QB, new RB, and new WRs IMO.

We may make some mental errors due to that and let Clemson stay in the game when we shouldn't.

If nothing else, Dabo has a randomly incredible success rate with recruiting white guys on defense who are good

Wasn't he a 3 star coming out of HS? He may be a beast (and I know the QB race was close) but if a 3 star QB is the strongest they've ever had then that says alot about their former players...

I live 10 mins outside of Clemson, so I see their stuff everyday.

Qb has potential, big arm strong kid. Don't think he's ready for this stage. Neither do they really, but Dabo is notorious for starting players who stick around.

Their offensive game plan is to use quick passes to playmakers in space. W.R.'s are top tier.
This includes their backs...particularly, Chris Johnson who's elite in the open field.

Relying on misdirection and Baker blitzing.

They believe that our D.E.'s are pass rush guys and cant set the edge, so they will test that.

They think our DBs are good but question our safeties. Cohesion.

Defensively they don't think LSU's offense has come together yet.
They are actually more confident than you might think.

Will Helt, Sammy Brown and they believe an improved secondary.
Keys on D.

Overall....they are hopeful but you can feel the vibe, they don't believe they are ready.

Consensus is if LSU comes out and performs well, we have too much talent, depth, and the environment is a huge challenge.
They get blown out.

But...if we start slow, they will make a game of it and then pressure is on us.

They also aren't sold on Sam being able to run.
But they fear that if he's ?? they are in trouble.


Thats the general consensus around here.
