CLEMSON — For most, if not all, of No. 4 Clemson’s 17-10 loss to ninth-ranked LSU, they were not the offensive powerhouse that many expected.
A tough and stout LSU defense is expected to provide a challenge, but Clemson couldn’t get things clicking through the air or on the ground. The ACC’s Tigers could only manage to gain 261 yards of offense and were 3 of 13 on third down.
During the offseason, much speculation was had on who would take the lead of the running room and how it would look during the season. The corps had its first chance to show off what it had, and the results weren’t enough to be considered stable.
