I do not see Clemson having ANY answers for the LSU offense. None.
Most of us thought this last year against Bama, but they held that offense to 16.
We all thought it would be a shootout and they shut down Tua/Jeudy/Ruggs/Smith/Waddle/Jacobs... No one had stopped them all year either. Hell we probably did the best job “only” giving up 29.
That’s what scares me.

NFL DL. They had 3 DL go first round and the other went in the 4th. They didn't really stop the receivers, more like disrupt Tua.
LSU's offense this year is more potent than Bama's was last year. They didn't slow down Ohio St either. Dobbins did what he wanted on the ground, and Ohio St's own players stopped them in the pass game (drops by Dobbins, bad int by Fields, Olave slipping on his route for the final pass/int.
Unless LSU just plays their worst game, Clemson loses by multiple TDs.

Y'all will move the ball too, but its the endzone that counts.

I think Auburn is an apt comparison. if we hold y'all to 23, we will outscore you and win the ballgame. This is what i think is the most likely thing to happen.
Actually, i think y'all score more than 23 - something like 30.
But we score more and win by a TD.

Yeah and it worked out fine for us. Bend but don't break. grind out the victory. you win the yardage game and we win the score game.
I'm cool with that.

That d line is in the NFL now. Its not remotely the same. They’re awesome-no doubt- but not the same.

Big Differences from last year to this year.
1. Not the same D personnel for Clemson, especially on the DLine.
2. Bama was not good in the Red Zone all season last year. It really bit them in the Championship Game. We are in the top 3 in the red zone offense, with mostly TD's.
3. Venables found a tell in Tua that he made his reads pre-snap. Burrow does not do this, and in fact, often hits his 3rd or 4th option, sometimes 5th with CEH. Good Luck.
4. LSU's offense is so multi-dimensional that no one has shown to have all the players to stop it. It isn't one or maybe two receivers. It's a back with well over 1,000 yds rushing with another 500 or so receiving, 3 stud WR's, an NFL TE and the most accurate QB in history.
5. LSU D is healthy, really good against the run, and has held every QB below 60% passing on the year. Over the past 3 games we are #2 in the country in total yds allowed.
This is not last year. Clemson is well coached and has the heart of a champion. But, if LSU plays its normal game, we will win by 2 tds or more.

Clemson's schedule is very weak. Not saying Clemson isn't a damn good football team. I'm only pointing out that their schedule explains their #1 Defensive ranking. I suspect that had LSU played the same schedule they would have similarly gaudy numbers.

I’ve got news for overconfident LSU fans: LSU may have to punt a few times.
Posted on 12/31/19 at 4:20 pm to PhillyFan1994
Auburn was the best we have played
