Lamar is being paid by the LSU collective. If he flips, he has to give it all back, or the team he flips to has to pay it back. Not a big deal money wise for school, but I don't think he flips... LSU is in a BETTER spot now than where they were with BK. Recruits stent stupid. Frank is leading the charge, there a reason they made him interim coach.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but where did all of this Clemson hype come from?

I understand that they are talented and experienced at every level. After watching some of their games from last year, I just don't see all of the hype that most people do. Their run defense wasn't great, especially playing an ACC schedule.. their d line is awesome, but a lot of those stats are over inflated based on a few games. Kade makes bad decisions just like nuss at times.

I know they'll be better this year, obviously.

Im trying to be unbiased. A lot of people think Clemson will make playoffs and are one of the favorites to make the championship game. Those same people think LSU loses 3 or 4 games (understandable bc of our schedule). However, the majority dont bring up the schedule. They bring up our o line, and nuss turnovers etc.

What am I missing here on why Clemson gets a shite ton of hype based on a mediocre year last year (even with a shite schedule). it started blowing up over the summer and everyone jumped on that hype train.

This may be a hot take, but I think LSU should handle Clemson on Saturday. Key word "should", they gotta go prove it. They haven't in the past 4 years. Clemson has also lost two openers in a row and 4 of the last 5 I think. The film hasn't shown me anything that stands out and makes me think that they are some juggernaut.

Games are played on the field, so none of this hype matters. Was just curious on why people are so high on Clemson all of a sudden.

LSU has the craziest schedule the first 5 weeks of SEC play. Couple that with them having a newish team is just a nightmare situation for them. They will improve as the season goes and be in a regional probably. They've been very competitive in all but 2 SEC games. Three of their SEC losses have been flukey.. Will be a tough season for them, but theyll be better next year bc of it. A lot of young players getting thrown to the wolves.
