So, in true reality, LSU has the best offense and defense in the nation, while Clemson has likely the worst offense in the nation and probably the worst defense in the nation.

Clemson will be lucky to cross the 50 yard line while LSU is going to score about 80.


I agree with some of what you said.
LSU is the #1 Offense in the country and could have hung 80 points multiple times this year, but took the foot of the gas in the 2nd half.

Clemson is not a juggernaut offense as Ohio St showed and their defense isn't as good either.

If Ohio St had a smarter QB they would have roasted Clemson when they sold out on the blitz. Burrow will eat that blitz alive. If they choose to stay back in coverage he will eat them alive given time. Point being Burrow will not be stopped.

CLemson will get points because they will get the ball about every 3-4 minutes when LSU kicks off. It just comes with the territory of scoring a lot.

Trevor Lawrence and that Etienne guy (sorry dont know how its spelled) will hook up with short passes.

The big difference in the two is that Clemson will need 8-12 plays to get down field. LSU does it in 3-6. The room for error is on LSU's side.

Until the 4th Quarter of the OU game, Burrow threw a touchdown every 3rd pass completion on average. We only had around 11 3rd downs and punted 1 time.

Georgia, Florida, Alabama, OU all experienced the same thing from LSU's offense. The outliner game for LSU was Auburn.

Clemson's outliner game was UNC.

This was the Florida game in a nutshell.
