LSU vs. Clemson Week 1 Clash: Uncover the Shocking Underdog Pick and Must-Know Odds!

The defense was great last year on first and second downs, stuffing the Clemson run and allowing edge rushers to pin back and go after the quarterback on third down. LSU has to do that again this year, with Davidson likely getting the ball early and often. They then need to make sure to get after Vizzina and force some short fields for their offense.

Clemson vs. LSU Prediction and Pick

This game is tough to predict because of all the changes. For Clemson, it is the change at quarterback. Cade Klubnik began starting at quarterback in 2022, and now it is finally Vizzina’s turn. Clemson is 59th in the nation in returning production this year, but 94th on offense while 26th on defense. Still, the production they lost on defense was some of the best players on their team. Meanwhile, LSU is a very different-looking team. There is the question of LSU’s former professional players suiting up, but that could be cleared up before the game. Still, it is a new coaching staff and a new quarterback for the Tigers. With all the changes, the defense should be favored in this game.
