My opinion:
Their defense is less talented than almost every top tier team LSU has played!!! I think they compare to Bama's defense without the quality edge rushers, but with a better scheme. Bama wasn't good defensively this year.
#11 for Clemson is a stud playing that hybrid safety/OLB position and their CBs can play sticky, but their DL, LBs and safeties just don't seem to have good mobility. I'm not saying they're slow, but they don't change directions well!!! Ohio State's passing game missed so many opportunities, and Dobbins didn't look healthy in the second half like he did in the first when he broke off a couple big runs.
LSU will score a lot on them if Burrow and the offense plays the way they've played all year. I think a healthy CEH and Burrow's ability to read and run will exploit that defensive scheme of A-gap LB pressure and twist stunts. Clemson will get some sacks and TFL, but they will be exposed and give up chunk yardage. They can't cover the middle of the field against this offense, and that's what Burrow has attacked all year against aggressive defenses. It will get ugly if Clemson can't keep up!

Clemson’s def stats are built on the backs of UNC, NC State, Duke, WF, etc. Big whoop

They can’t cover our WRs ... end of story
Pass to run like we have all year
Out of reach by late 3rd

OSU made allot of mistakes that could have easily put the game away.
This was what I saw too. Coach Day knew it. That’s why he said he was “angry” in post game comments.
It was a high stakes game. In high stakes games, mistakes are not forgiven easily. OSU killed themselves SEVERAL times.
Clemson is good but not great. Very optimistic for LSU.

Auburn is the best defense we will play this year. But, it honestly doesn’t matter. Don’t think this offense is defendable.

Clemson is going to be very tough. On par with that game we won at Bama with tua playing. They have a nasty pass rush which would be thing number 1 you want when you play LSU.

LSU's offense will be the best Clemson has played. By a LOT.

What pass rush? You mean the constant blitzing? That isnt pass rush. There down lineman isnt doing anything to LSU. They will blitz and get beat because all of their secondary and linebackers except for one person is not that great. Nothing to worry about here...

They rush 4 DL and then bring the 2 middle LB's every single play. Joe will hit JJ, CEH, Moss over the middle for huge gains ALOT in this game.

That D did pretty damn good against Tua last year

Key words... Last Year..... not the same personnel. This years Clemson D is not the same as last year. They arent half as good as last years.

I HOPE Clem repeats this strategy.
Not being a homer, but there really is no defending this offense. The best hope for Clem is that LSU self destructs with turnovers & penalties. You can’t convince me otherwise. LSU has been tested by elite talent & coaches several times.

If this were in season i'd say no way. But these guys can coach and given 16 days it will be one of the best...
... But we still hang 50, capping the best offensive year in ncaa history. Herbie even said it last night late: Best offense he's ever seen, and it's not even close.
