When LSU comes to town on Saturday, it will mark one of Clemson’s biggest home openers in quite some time.
Make no mistake, this one will be significant for both teams, and for a multitude of reasons. Some might go straight to the playoff implications argument. The winner certainly gets a resume boost, but the loser is far from out of the picture.
LSU has lost five straight season openers and badly wants to snap that streak. So much so that head coach Brian Kelly has really made this game a point of emphasis for LSU.
Clemson has dropped its last two season openers, as well.
