Nutriaitch Posted January 3, 2020 Author Share Posted January 3, 2020 so pretty much like most thought. we dominate the offensive stats they dominate the defensive. but one area i think we are definitely better.....Kickers their kicker is only hitting on 60% of his FG attempts. York is at 80%. so in a close game where kicks matter, advantage us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishhead Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 I'll say this Clemson is not a whole lot different than LSU, really. Other than SOS Which makes them hard to gauge. So I'll go ahead and err on the side of caution and assume we're gonna be in a dogfight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus Clemson didn't owe A&M on a personal level like we did, so I don't really judge their game because it was so close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutriaitch Posted January 4, 2020 Author Share Posted January 4, 2020 i’m pretty confident in saying that Clemson’s defense is legit. but i’m also confident that our offense can score on anyone. Including Clemson. so with that in mind i went looking into Clemson’s offense and what our defense has to look at to stop them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutriaitch Posted January 4, 2020 Author Share Posted January 4, 2020 we saw in the Ohio State game that Sunshine Ronnie Bass can run when asked to. I know he doesn’t run like that every game. But i was curious how effective of a runner he was. and was shocked to find out he’s got more yards rushing on fewer attempts than Burrow does. So i dig deeper. He has more than twice as many (5) runs of 20+ yards as Joe does (2). Which explains at least some of the yardage difference. But how EFFECTIVE of a runner is he compared to Burrow? In other words how successful of a runner is he? On 93 rushing attempts, Trevor has gained a 1st down 29 times (31.2%). As comparison, Joe Burrow leads all of FBS in that category @ 34.7% (35 in 101 attempts). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutriaitch Posted January 4, 2020 Author Share Posted January 4, 2020 ok, but what about Lawrence as a thrower? Well he’s a big kid with a ton of arm talent. I mean dude can make every throw. But he doesn’t come close to touching Joe’s season stats. In fact, Burrow has more yards (3,463) and more TDs (38) just in the first half of games than Lawrence does for the entire season (3,431 & 36). so again I went to the 1st downs. Gotta see how often they move the chains. on 370 pass attempts, he has thrown for a 1st down 144 times (38.9%). And Burrow for comparison 211 / 478 (44.1%).

Nutriaitch Posted January 4, 2020 Author Share Posted January 4, 2020 naturally, i had to see what his 3rd numbers were. 41 for 76 (53.9%) ; 28 first downs (36.8%) and of course Joe’s numbers for comparison 55 for 81 (67.9%) ; 36 first downs (44.4%) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutriaitch Posted January 4, 2020 Author Share Posted January 4, 2020 can’t leave off red zone conversions Trevor Lawrence: 31 for 41 (75.6%) ; 18 TD ; 0 Int Joe Burrow: 53 for 74 (71.6%) ; 31 TD ; 0 Int. It’s kind of ridiculous how good both of these guys are when close enough to smell the endzone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dachsie Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Now y'all are scaring me. But here is my question. Clemson racked all these numbers against the ACC. We did against SEC. Will that make the difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve only faced 2 top 40 defenses all year (we’ve faced 6). But one of those was tOSU who is absolutely legit on D. And they moved the ball. mostly in the 2nd half.

Nutriaitch Posted January 4, 2020 Author Share Posted January 4, 2020 once i’m done breaking down the WR’s i’ll be back with that info. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutriaitch Posted January 4, 2020 Author Share Posted January 4, 2020 ok, not done with the receivers, but as a numbers junkie i love running across anomalies. they have a WR who on 2nd down has 22 catches for 222 yds and 2 tds. unfortunately, he doesn’t wear the #2.

LSUDad Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 I like the Tigers big in this one, real big. Clemson does have talent, but we are running like a well oiled machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houtiger Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 I think we'll win, I put our chances about 70 - 80% we win. Clemson has a chance to upset us because they have the QB that can throw it, Etienne at RB can run and catch it (I think he's a slightly faster CEH), and they have two outstanding receivers in Ross and Higgins. Like LSU, since they can run and throw effectively, they make you defend the whole field, and that is hard to do. I think the game will come down to our Stingley and Fulton against their Ross and Higgins. Conversely, the question is how do they defend our three headed monster of Jefferson, Chase and Marshall? I think if our DB's can control their wide outs, we win. If not, its a 50-50 shot to win a shootout. Clemson has recruited very well the last 5 years, there will be a LOT of NFL talent on the field, and I think it will be a excellent game to watch!!! I'm excited. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSUDad Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 I like us by double digits. I’ve hit on a few, and lost on a few. We play our game, we win big. Im not discounting Clemson, they have a great team and players. But we are playing at another level, not even close. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the things that stands out is the weakness of Clemson's schedule. The iron does not become steel without passing through the fire. LSU has been through the fire playing several top 10 teams. This group seems to know how to focus and take care of their business. I like that about this team.

I’d say we won big. I wanted that last TD, we took our foot off the gas. We could have broke 50 last night. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted that last TD, we took our foot off the gas. We could have broke 50 last night. I thought we'd win, thought it might be a little closer, like 42-35 was what I was thinking. Lawrence did not have near as good a game as he did last year against InbredGumps, and that had nothing to do with them losing 3 first round picks off their defensive front 4 from last season. I agree, we took our foot off the gas with about 7 minutes in the game, did the right thing and started handing off to Clyde. At that point the biggest enemy we had was the clock, they needed time if they could come back, and taking it away was how to win the game. But actually, we could have score at least one more TD, maybe two, but at some added risk to our cause. We took the safe way out, and the smart way. Run the clock and go claim your trophy! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
