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.

I don’t know if I agree with the extremes in this post. However, Clemson statistics are heavily influenced by not playing much of a schedule.

Clemson beat TAM 24 to 10. LSU beat TAM 50 to 7 and it could have been a lot worse

So, just any random thought that appears in your brain, is it?

High praise from a Bama fan. I don’t know if our defense is the best in the nation, but I’ll ride or die with any of those guys. They play like champions. All I see are 11 guys playing with a high level of passion, heart and ferocity.

LSU has the number one offense and a top 10 defense. It just took this board all season to figure it out.

You can count me outta that number ...

Key injuries and getting used to an offense scoring 60 points in 18 minutes took a little time ...

LSU has the best Dee personnel in America where it matters ...

That’s at CB and Safety and DL ... Our LBs are solid, hustle and will make NFL rosters

Next year we get Elias Ricks ... Practicing already with the team I think

Life is good ...

Vandy scored 38 on you. Ole Miss scored 37.

No way you can stop our offense.

In all fairness they got punched pretty hard by Ohio and struggled back for the win. Difference is LSU has already seen everything (and more) that Clemson has to offer and done way better than simply survive.

Vandy scored 24 on our defense.
You know Oklahoma was the second ranked offense in the country right? They were held to 28 points and 14 of those were in garbage time.
But lets bring up Vandy, a game that was played three months ago.

This is the right answer. For whatever reason Aranda had them playing soft at the beginning of the year. A combination of players getting healthy and Aranda turning the blitzing loose
Our defense is solid.

What they don't take into account is that I believe LSU's defense has improved greatly over the past 2 months.




Yep. I'd rather be peaking presently at #19 as opposed to playing at average at #3 presently. The Georgia game is a good example of a peaking team compared to a treading water team.
