re: LSU's defense isn't really ranked 29th

All honesty here.

LSU has always had a great D. That excellent defense got to take a break this year with how good the offense was. After they were trashed heavily by the media, you saw at the end of the season what they were capable of.

LSU has a top 5-10 defense that has taken it easy this year. Clemson won't know what hit them.

That said. Clemson is no slouch. Their #'s speak for themselves. It should wind up a decent game.
