Kiffin's LSU Debut Dominates Clemson | Clemson Tigers Football News

LSU obliterated Clemson 51-10 in a dazzling debut under Lane Kiffin, with Sam Leavitt throwing for over 200 yards and two touchdowns while adding two rushing scores. The defense sealed the win with an interception return for a TD. Despite earlier controversy over potentially signing ineligible former Mississippi players — a move blocked by the NCAA but allowed by a court — Kiffin chose not to use them, prioritizing team cohesion over headlines. A nearly two-hour weather delay didn’t dampen the energy as LSU’s explosive offense, bolstered by a revamped rushing attack and improved line, dominated from start to finish. Leavitt exited early in the second half, handing off to a running back who added another touchdown. This emphatic win sets a powerful tone for Kiffin’s tenure and signals LSU’s offensive firepower and defensive grit are ready to carry the program forward.
