Clemson - LSU Game Thread

I have to agree. The kid was just on a level that I didn't think was possible. The really weird thing is that I had a friend of mine remark during the 4th quarter of the game that Burrow wasn't having a great game. I asked him what the heck his criteria is for having a great game. Burrow was 31-49 463 yards 5 TDs with No Ints and added 58 yards on 14 carries on the ground with 1 TD. Burrow accounted for 521 scrimmage yards and 6 TDs with No turnovers. No that is not a great game. It is other worldly!

So he's out of this world? It's the freaking day in age and what the rules allow today. Burrow is more likely to be a bust a than pro bowler.

He played a clean and great game and Clemson likely wins. He left a lot of points on the field. Not blaming him but it took a high performance by him to get the W.

I'm going to take it a bit further and say that this loss by Clemson is 100% on the shoulders of Trevor Lawrence. He was very mediocre tonight. He was consistently high on his throws and he just didn't seem to have it.

Oh good Lord man who cares what he does in the NFL? That isn't what we are discussing. The kid had an amazing season and an absolutely incredible performance in the National Championship game. Burrow's performance was one for the ages rules or no rules. It's ok to give people the credit they deserve once in a while. Give the kid his due. He did this against an extremely talented and well coached Clemson squad who were the defending national champions.

Nah, I just have eyes.

What do you think our defensive unit on the field would be when LSU goes 4 or 5 wide in Randy Shannon's defensive system?

LSU's defense made a future 1st round qb in Lawrence look above average, what do you think they'd make Dorsey look like?

My Caneness can't allow me to outright say now they are GOAT. But in 3 to 5 years when those guys are in the NFL I'll reassess. It's the first time I've ever contemplated it.
 
Burrow is a helluva player, freaking awesome! I wouldn't pick him #. Dude freaking balled out this season, I'm just getting tired of the avg. score being in the 40s...

In the conversation yes. I would put them #3 behind our 01 team and 04 USC. Of course I’m biased against the 90’s Nebraska team, and others from decades earlier, but that’s bc their style wouldn’t play well against these teams. Also we should've beaten Nebraska as well.

Yeah and you're talking about football almost 20 years ago or were you just 10? I think Ed would have made plays and our pro bowlers on offense would have put it in the end zone...

Lawrence played awful. He had guys open and just didn’t hit them. I’ve never seen him play this bad. For some reason the moment got to him. I would feel alot different about this LSU defense if they simply locked guys up, but they didn’t. They played well, especially that Queen kid, but it was more about Lawrence not showing up than anything else.

LOL I was on Miami message boards

You didn't answer the question so:

When LSU went 4 or 5 wide, Randy would probably pull Clark off and throw Fitzgerald out there with a basic as **** Nickel look and get carved the **** up.

If, and I say IF we couldn't run on that defensive front, we wouldn't score more than 24.
 
Those WR's, they would give anyone a run. Thought OSU would match up better, but Venebles could pull it out. I was wrong, not enough in the secondary or DL, OSU is better at both spots.

As the game went on, the Clemson DL (lack of bodies here as they were playing 3 DL often) got worn down. Then LSU just had to pickup the blitz.

Lawrence, bad game. LSU secondary, give them credit. They had some Dan Enos cringe worthy play calls.

Burrow, great game and some real dimes. Those WR's help, but he puts it where his guys always have a chance.

This team is in the conversation. No doubt about that.

That’s because no one was running anything like this offense in 2001-02.

In this hypothetical where the canes take a time machine to two weeks before the game and they start preparing for an offense that they’ve never seen, which era of rules are we using?

Funny you bring that up. The team '01 was compared to when we were pronounced the best was '95 Nebraska, and since we just throttled a triple option team it seemed like a no brainer.

It goes both ways and the game evolves.

I'll say again, this is the first time a team has given me a reason to even consider this since 2001.

IMO, it will be settled when guys like Delpit, Stringley, Burrow, Jefferson, Chase and whoever else on that team matriculates to the NFL.
