LSU head coach Brian Kelly held his press conference Monday and heaped praise on Clemson ahead of Saturday’s highly anticipated season opener between the two top-10 teams.
“Clemson [is] obviously a top-ranked team,” Kelly said. “Whatever poll you’re looking at, it’s a top-five team. They’ve reached the CFP. I know Coach [Dabo Swinney] very well. 13 seasons at 10 wins. They’re the epitome of consistency at the highest level.”
Kelly spoke highly of Clemson on both sides of the ball, beginning with senior Cade Klubnik, who is entering his third full season as the Tigers’ starting quarterback and is widely considered a 2025 Heisman Trophy candidate.
