ESPN Analysts Talk Clemson Ahead of Week 1 vs. LSU
Roddy Jones and EJ Manuel joined Rece Davis on ESPN’s College Football Countdown show to preview the biggest matchups in Week 1 of the 2025 college football season.
As for the highly anticipated top-10 showdown between the No. 9 LSU Tigers and fourth-ranked Clemson Tigers, much of the conversation with Jones, Manuel and Davis centered around Clemson star quarterback Cade Klubnik.
Of course, Klubnik is coming off a breakout junior season in 2024, when he tied Tajh Boyd (36 in 2012) and Trevor Lawrence (36 in 2019) for the second-most passing touchdowns in a season in Clemson history.
