Clemson wins this one.
Everyone said Oklahoma had a juggernaut offense but they didn’t look too good until LSU subbed in late. Aranda with two weeks will shut down Clemson too.Clemson can play defense, LSU not so much. A lot will be made about the juggernaut LSU offense matching up against the top-ranked defense (and #1 against the pass) in America.
I think it’ll boil down to how well LSU takes care of business against Clemson’s offense.

LSU has been spotty on defense all season, esp against the pass. I see no reason to believe that’s going to change now.
For the most part I agree, but I have seen some steady improvement from the LSU defense the past 4 weeks or so. When healthy, they have an extremely talented secondary IMO, but they do not have the strong front 7 that we have all become accustomed to that has really been their strength that enhances their pass D. But the noticeable improvement in the front 7 has helped them get a little better on D.
speaking of defense the one thing I can't see Clemson doing is trying to get to Burrow with a 3 man rush. That will not work. I am not saying they will blitz willy-nilly, but they are going to have to constantly vary their looks in hopes of trying to make him somewhat uncomfortable, which I know is difficult to do.
