In the last three games of the season, Clemson's defense gave up an average 359 yards a game in total offense. While LSU's defense gave up an average of 259 yards per game in total offense.

Meanwhile, LSU also played a harder schedule in those three games relative to the schedule Clemson played in those final three games as well.

Not to mention that Clemson's offense, in my opinion, is overstated simply due to the piss poor quality of teams Clemson played in the weak and pathetic ACC.

While LSU, on the other hand, which so far this season has already played and beaten six teams that were ranked in the AP top ten at the time the game was played, is ranked as the number one offense in the country.

Indeed, in my opinion, LSU's offense is a lot better than Clemson's offense simply due to the huge disparity in the quality of the competition Clemson faced relative to the quality of the competition LSU faced.

Now comparing our two games to our only common opponent, which is Texas A&M, Clemson beat them 24 to 10 and held them to 289 yards of total offense while gaining 389 yards of total offense on A&M.

While, LSU, on the other hand, beat A&M 50 to 7 and held them to just 169 yards of total offense while gaining 553 yards of total offense on A&M.

Hence, if LSU loses this game to Clemson, it won't be because Clemson is the better of the two football teams. It will be because LSU simply self-destructed and in which I don't see happening. As I think LSU will win this game relatively easy.
