What is Clemson’s best chance to beat LSU?
It’s probably not what you are thinking
When it comes to stopping Heisman Trophy winner Joe Burrow and LSU, no one has been able to do it. A couple of teams have slowed them down, but they did not stop them.
The SEC’s Tigers, who will play Clemson in the College Football Playoff National Championship a week from Monday, are averaging a national best 48.9 points per game, while also leading the country in total offense at 564.1 yards per game.
The only team to slow down the Bayou Bengals to this point has been the Auburn Tigers. Auburn held LSU to 23 points at Tiger Field in Baton Rouge, though LSU still totaled 508 yards of offense and was 4-5 in the red zone, including three touchdowns.
