National College Football Writer Disagrees With Dabo Swinney's Grades From LSU's Win

83 to 55

Dabo: soft in the head just like the team he coached is soft.

A-Plus

I think on the overall game by LSU, I mean a "C+" has to be the floor, right? Beating a top 5 team on the road by any margin, by any measure, even by another top 5 team is a solidly above average grade.

Having said that, LSU did have execution errors, particularly on offense, some playcalling issues, special teams (missed FG, did not pin them with a punt when it was very possible, etc.), sufficient to take them out of the "A+" and maybe even "A" category. If you watched the second half, though, B+ to A- is probably the grade LSU deserves for the effort in the game.

B+ overall. A+ on defense.

14-0 2nd half DOMINATION - NUFF SAID!

We played a great game and the OL played much better than expected. I'm wondering how good is Clemson really? We will find out how good we are a couple of weeks.

Go Bruce! Love your content!

Offense B-
Defense A

Brian dominated them so hard that they had the ball at midfield down 7 with a minute to go.

It seems not to be something folks are focusing on, but special teams weren't not all that special. B-

LSU A
CLEMSON B-

A+, not A-

LSU B

CLEM C-

Dabo, please stfu

I would give LSU a 90, mostly because of their special teams performance. Clemson maybe a 70 at best.

2 fumbles lost isn't an "A plus performance" in my opinion. I give the Defense an A+

He would never make it in the SEC….Stay in the ACC where you. belong

First half was not great. Second half was. I'd give them a 85 overall. Solid B. I think we improve and we'll see a team that is good from the opening whistle to the end.

B+ Here is why. Entire new OL and new secondary and a rebuilt DL. All of the new pieces came together fantastic. The fumble by sharp, missed FG and poor decision at the end of the half drops the grade otherwise it would be a A+. This is because it was the first game. Later in the year season this grading will be much tougher.

Oh I will add, Dabo is a fraud, he isn't fooling anyone with his Mayberry act anymore.
