I am a believer that defense wins championships, but I'm not sold on the hype regarding Clempsum's defense. Their numbers were posted in the ACC, and we all know their entire season is basically a warm up game for the playoffs. They played one tough game this year (2 weeks ago), and I didn't see anything out of them that makes me think they can shut down LSU's offense.
However, they have a great offense, and a ton of guys with championship rings, so they obviously know how to dig deep to get this win. I think it will be close early (LSU's secondary has athletes, but is suspect at times, and I think Lawrence will start out hot and find open receivers early), but I expect LSU to make adjustments and pull away in the second half.
Corndogs - 42
Clempsum - 28
