The Preview and Predictions: LSU Football vs. Clemson Tigers in Game 1 of the Lane Kiffin Era
- The LSU preview expects Lane Kiffin and Charlie Weis Jr.'s offense to start slowly against Clemson before top-end skill talent helps the unit separate later.
- The staff prediction leans on Blake Baker's LSU defense as the Week 1 difference-maker, especially if the offense needs the first half to settle in.
- The preview expects LSU's run game to heat up in the second quarter and wear down Clemson's interior defensive line, with the backs projected above 170 combined rushing yards.
- Clemson is flagged for offensive newness because Christopher Vizzina is making a true road start and Chad Morris is installing a new offense against LSU's defense.
