re: LSU- do you think you will experience the playoffs more than once?

I think the team with the most experience in big games plays a factor.

Agreed. How many "big games" has Clemson played this year. Road wins over top 10 teams? Neutral site wins over top 10 teams? Put up your resume or shut the frick up.

What is the point for a Clemson person to post this.

I assume it is because you expect to lose.

Bama will not beat LSU in Baton Rouge next year. LSU has tough road games at Auburn and at Florida and ends away at Texas AM.

LSU will be better on the line of scrimmage next year. No one will replace Burrow. Myles Brennan will play very well.
The running backs will,be better. The WR s will be back. TE improved.

The Bama advantage with having 20 analysts is gone.

Of course we do not have a Clemson cupcake schedule.

I don't think LSU will make it back next year, but do you think LSU ever makes it back?

Maybe you should go back to 2012 and ask your younger self that question after Clemson beat the REAL Tigers in the Chicken bowl by one point.

That, arguably, was the beginning of Clemson's ascent. Prior to that, nobody would have given your team any notice whatsoever in the title discussion.

Regardless of who wins the NCG (Geaux Tigers!), who's to say this isn't the beginning of LSU's ascent?

If I had to point to one thing that's held LSU back over the last decade, the answer is too easy: QB play and offensive strategy. We've always recruited well, and have usually had the right pieces in place to be very good. However, Les would never move past the 3-yards-and-a-cloud-of-dust mentality of his youth, and squandered the chances of taking the team from "good" to "great".

What's changed now? Just one thing: the offense.

Coach O, Coach E and Coach Brady have made the final change every LSU fan has been begging for over the last 10 years - and this year you see the result.

The missing piece is now in place.

Does that mean every year going forward will be this magical? Probably not. But the odds of staying at or near the top are SIGNIFICANTLY better now that we have a modern offense.

Oh, and before anyone starts in with the "well, Joe Brady is leaving LSU for <...insert NFL or CFB team here...>:

The change has been made. For good or ill, whether Brady stays or goes, the offense will NEVER go back to the caveman-throwing-rocks days. That's all that was missing, and it'll be here next year (with or without Brady).

Couple that new offensive mindset with the things that LSU has historically excelled at, well, let's just say that I like our chances...

Just my two pennies-worth of thoughts....

You do realize 2 out of the 3 receivers are back next year and one of them is the Biletnikoff winner....defensively Tigahs will be even better.
