It's amazing what a month of rest does for our football team. I expect LSU to run the ball effectively and control the clock enroute to victory.


this. Clemson can't hang physically with a rested LSU team. The only way it's a close game is if LSU is just mentally not there.

ESPN picking Clemson over LSU



Their (the pundits) purpose is to drive ratings, not accurately predict the outcome of the game.

One says Clemson, the others say it'll be close, hence encouraging non-Tiger(s) fans to watch the game.

If LSU shows up motivated, they'll win. If they show up lethargic like our fanbase, I'll be nervous.

I guess you mean you couldn't care less.

What a fricking dumbass. Are you even an LSU fan?

It's one thing to be disappointed about the bowl but saying you don't even care if we lose is being a complete a-hole.

Win or Lose could care less. I imagine the players will have a hard time focusing.


That is stupid. So what, you aren't going to watch? If you do you won't cheer right?

You think the players will have a hard time focusing on the last game of the season, last game of some of their careers? You didn't play sports huh?

The Entertainment Sports Programming Network takes exception to the endeavors of the Louisiana State University Football program.

Freeze > Dabo regarding coaching.


I agree with you there. Normally I would say that Dabo's coaching deficiencies are made up for by Coach Morris. But after watching the terrible playcalling during Clemson/SCAR, I don't take that for granted anymore.

That said, I'm not sure Miles is a better play caller than either of them. LSU ran some putrid offensive plays this year.

Even so, I'm thinking this will be a similar to the Ole Miss game (minus the mouth kissing.) LSU will be lured into a shootout once you see how bad our secondary really is. On the flipside, watch for Nuke Hopkins on the Clemson offense to rack up yards, not Sammy Watkins.

So what? Why even watch that crap network except for when the Tigers are on?

All they do is say shite that pisses off LSU fans, evidently.

I only watch when the Tigers are on.

And besides, I think we've seen this season that LSU plays to the level of the competition (contrast Auburn and Bama games) and since Clemson is iffy, I fully expect an iffy performance from LSU.

I expect LSU to win in a close one.

I've been wrong before....

Right. No favored team has ever crapped on the last game of the season when they've had disappointments.

Brad Edwards picked LSU and had them at 11 in his confidence picks. So that's pretty confident.

I actually think Harris makes some pretty good points even if I don't agree with his pick

Clemson gives up 70 in bowl games, not LSU. Thanks for playing, try again next time.

That's a fair point. And I actually think our defense is worse than last year. So, LSU will score plenty.

Out of curiosity---do you give no credit at all to Clemson's offense? We put up 37 away at FSU, and they weren't terrible.

Florida State gave up over 30 to Florida. LSU with all second string linebackers managed to keep them in check holding them to 14. Florida State is ACC defense, and ACC defense isn't all that impressive.
