Clemson Football: Formulating the perfect game plan vs. LSU

The Clemson football program is just one win away from repeating as National Champions, but a major obstacle still remains in their way.

The Tigers, ranked No. 3 in the nation, will take on the No. 1-ranked LSU Tigers Monday night in New Orleans. LSU is listed as a six-point favorite, courtesy of the Action Network.

How will Clemson football go about attacking LSU? Here’s our look at the ‘perfect’ game plan against Ed Orgeron’s ball-club, beginning with the Clemson offense.

Offensive Game Plan:

  • Don’t abandon the running game
  • Get the ball out quick to play-makers
  • Don’t turn the ball over
  • Take advantage of secondary deficiencies
  • Take some shots down the field when things open up
  • Keep Travis Etienne involved

These are the six things you’ll see Clemson do on offense to put some points up against LSU’s defense.
