Prediction
This game has the makings of a classic. Clemson’s defensive line should give LSU’s offensive front fits, especially early in a hostile environment. The question is whether Clemson’s offense can consistently capitalize — Klubnik has shown flashes, but LSU’s secondary can turn mistakes into quick scores.
LSU has the deeper skill talent and could find explosive plays if they get their tempo rolling, but Clemson’s home-field edge at night is one of the strongest in college football. Expect swings in momentum, special teams fireworks, and a finish that comes down to who wins the turnover battle.
Prediction: Clemson 34, LSU 31 — a thriller that sets the tone for both Tigers in 2025.
