Worse the Georgia and Bama for sure. That’s the only thing I can say for sure, because I’m not sure how to compare Oklahoma’s or Clemson’s because I’ve only really seen one game of each.

I think we will be successful on defense against that line though.

Ohio State was able to get good pressure. The only issue for them is they weren’t able to contain boy wonder. Hopefully, LSU will be able to get pressure with 4, while spying TL and if he decides to run, his rushing yardage will be limited.

Clemson's OL is comparable to LSU's OL. The ways that they differ is in their different blocking schemes.

Clemson's OL really excels at run & zone blocking but they are not as good as LSU at pass blocking which is why Lawrence has so many rushing attempts and yards.

LSU's OL is good at run blocking but really excels at pass blocking. Burrow runs as a last resort compared to Lawrence who runs out of necessity.

If you compare sack stats, Clemson gave up 16 sacks so far to LSU's 30. I don't know if this is a relevant metric to compare because of how different each team is offensively, but it is a fact.

You have to remember their OL stats are based on playing teams like Charlotte and Wofford (?)
So the only game that we can use to measure them equally is the Ohio State game. They did well, but I don't see them as elite this year.
