OSU v Clemson

My take is that Clemson is significantly better than Alabama and Auburn this year. They just needed some time to get the blood pumping last night. They weren’t used to playing an actual good team. Took them almost a half to get up to speed but once they did they returned to 2018 form.

Alternative take: Clemson beat A&M by 14. LSU beat them by 43.

 

Normally I would go with the team used to big games, but I just feel like at the end of the day, LSU is just too good. The season Burrow has had is just unbelievable. The guy could end up with 60 TDs in one year. We will never see that again.

 

And how they did it is by having NFL starters on their defensive line

 

LSU is going to methodically dissect Clemson. They'll win by 14+

 

I don't think the disrespect levers the clemson coach has been pulling are going to have clemson in the right mindset. LSU is a better team, and they should be coming in looking to try and out hustle or out will them. not with a chip on their shoulder thinking they are better.

LSU may have this wrapped up by half again

 

I think Clemson scores plenty though

 

35-17 at half. 52-31 final.

Just going to let my ass completely hang out.

 

If i were Clemson, I’d be making some adjustments so that white safety isn’t one on one against LSUs WR’s.

 

I can see that

 

Yep. Oklahoma scored 28 because LSU didn't care for the last 45 minutes of the game. I'm sure Clemson can do something similar.

 

I understand the rules. The part I'm not agreeing with is that it actually works that way.

 

Sab feels this way about coitus.

 

I'm surprised at all the Clemson love following that performance. They looked 14 points worse than Ohio State and LSU looked about 1400 points better than Oklahoma.

 

100% agree.

I never felt like they would win that game until they did.

 

Clemson was obviously manhandled for the first 20 minutes. After that it was game on. They looked significantly better than Ohio State for the rest I thought. Ohio St scored just once in the last 40 minutes or so didn’t they? Again, I just think Clemson needed to get up to game speed with a fast team. Playing all those ACC jv teams took a toll on their readiness to play with the big boys.

 

Felt more like OSU was having uncharacteristic screwups that kept Clemson in the game rather than them taking over.

 

I did fall asleep in the fourth quarter

 

Late hit on lawrence ended up a long td drive instead of another 3 and out. The punt block call was dumb coaching. Clemson also went on to score a td there after the penalty

 

I don’t care that much about the semis. Oklahoma is really mediocre. And I think Dabo gonna have his guys ready. Same offense that lit up Bama last year. It’s not like LSU dominated every team this year. They can be had.

 

LSU was pretty dominant all year
