Clemson vs LSU Season Opener Preview | Clemson Tigers Football News

College football’s season kicks off with a high-stakes clash: Clemson travels to Baton Rouge to face LSU in the second leg of their home-and-home series. Last year’s gritty 17-10 win for LSU left both coaches dissatisfied, but things have changed. LSU’s new $91M head coach Lane Kiffin is testing rookie QB Sam Leavitt under center, while Clemson brings back play-caller Chad Morris and leans on QB Christopher Vizzina (or Tait Reynolds) with explosive weapons Bryant Wesco Jr. and T.J. Moore. Defensively, Clemson’s secondary—loaded with transfers—must contain Kiffin’s offense, while LSU’s middle struggles but relies on anchor Sammy Brown to pressure Leavitt. Watch for breakout stars: Clemson’s Ashton Hampton vs. Penn State transfer Elliot Washington II, and LSU’s Corey Myrick and Jerome Carter III stepping into bigger roles. This opener promises fireworks. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
