Our Reading
This one felt recognizable early.
LSU’s defense is built for late-game pressure, and Clemson’s new quarterback is already under pressure.
Leavitt’s debut is a test for Kiffin’s rebuild, and Vizzina’s first start is a test for Clemson’s new era.
Green and Moore are the go-to guys, but neither team has proven much yet.
The result wasn’t surprising by the end.
