An in-depth look at Clemson's heartbreaking 17-10 loss to LSU. We analyze the good (a dominant defensive showing), the bad (an offense that disappeared), and the ugly (the game-changing mistakes that cost them the win).
For thirty minutes, it looked like classic Clemson football. In front of a raucous home crowd of 81,500 at Memorial Stadium, a ferocious defense was strangling its opponent while the offense did just enough to build a lead. But the script flipped dramatically after halftime, and a promising start devolved into a painful 17-10 loss to the LSU Tigers, leaving Clemson at 0-1 to start the season.
