Good lord, really? How the Hell did that happen?
I look forward to random Pac12 executives calling down to overrule calls on the field.
I feel that Pac-12 officials have become pretty good now. My only thing is that I think they're a bit "soft" with how much physicality and chippiness they allow. I hope they don't force LSU & Clemson into a finesse game or make calls that penalize big hits or celebration. Also, can't be calling PI every time a WR is breathed on -- hand fighting has to be allowed on the outside. Got to let them play in this one while being firm about not letting things get out of hand.
Good Luck Bitches!
This makes me feel very good about having middle class money on Clemson

I like both coaches. I am probably pulling for Clemson a little bit. This should be a very good matchup with probably the best 2 QBs in college FB leading both offenses. Clemson has been here before and should not get rattled. LSU has looked very good also. Going to sit back with a beer and enjoy the game.
Ha Ha. OK. We shall see. Are you getting 6 or 6.5?
Never crossed 7, so this game won’t break me. But, this one won’t be low stress either.
I give Clemson the advantage on coaching, but LSU the advantage on strength of schedule, virtual home field advantage, defense, and a slight advantage on QB, realizing that these are maybe the 2 best college QBs since .......a long long tme.
Good luck. I wish I had the money to seriously bet football but I'm just a Middle Class Guy.....
Pardon me if this has been posted...
Clemson has 37 players who have played in the Natty.
LSU has 0.
I took LSU -5.5 anyway, but am not that confident.

SIAP - great article on Clemson staff traveling to Iowa State last summer to learn some tricks on Defense. May require a sub, but a very interesting article. It seems to me that Summers went to something like this near the end as pressure started coming from everywhere, but I'd have to go back and rewatch some games.

I made the money by betting. If you would’ve followed my picks in the gambling thread you’d have the money too.Good luck. I wish I had the money to seriously bet football but I'm just a Middle Class Guy.....
Sweet humble brag, gov! <proceeds to lose mind>
LSU is on a roll and I don't see them being slowed down much tonight. LSU by 17.

I'm doing whatever you recommend so please keep advising us
Note the word "may."
Clemson has been there before, this LSU team at the start of the season was expected to be good most people had Bama' or UGA coming out of the SEC.
The issue with the home town crowd is that all the pressure is going to be on LSU. Clemson is the team that can play the nobody believes in us game.
Thinking here is that if Clemson makes a mistake they have experience and are more likely to overcome it. If LSU makes a mistake the pressure from the crowd along with the rest could magnify it and lead to more mistakes when they press.
