LSU DOMINATES CLEMSON 51–10 | Game Recap & Instant Reaction · JustIN Time

• 0:07
  What is up, everybody? How's it going?
• 0:09
  Welcome back to another edition of the Justin Tom Podcast.
• 0:12
  And Tiger fans, I know exactly where to start with this one.
• 0:16
  LSU dominated Clemson last night, 51 to 10.
• 0:22
  Blank Kevin's first game as a head coach under the lights of
• 0:25
  Death Valley against Clemson. LSU didn't just win the football
• 0:28
  game, they absolutely dominated Clemson. 164 total yards of
• 0:33
  offense. Where where was I at?
• 0:36
  335 yards of passing, 309 yards of rushing.
• 0:42
  We dominated on every aspect of the game, 100 And you know,
• 0:48
  Clemson had 145 yards of total offense that deep.
• 0:51
  The defense was dominant. We're talking grades.
• 0:55
  I would say I give them the A+ plus the offense low A to A
• 0:59
  minus just because they left points on the board early.
• 1:03
  Special teams of B plus plus to A minus because we missed a few
• 1:08
  tackles on opening kickoff on not opening kickoffs, the
• 1:11
  kickoffs and we missed a field goal.
• 1:15
  But other than that, they were great.
• 1:17
  You know, completely dismantled Clemson.
• 1:21
  I mean, it was if you, I saw Clemson fans post a few, a
• 1:24
  Clemson fan that was hard for you to watch, especially since
• 1:28
  you all came in so confident. But I predicted 44 to 7 and we
• 1:34
  beat them 51 to 10. Let's get into it.
• 1:37
  You know, two hours of rain delay.
• 1:40
  If this was last year that rain delay the the place wouldn't
• 1:46
  have been packed like it was. Nobody was excited to watch a
• 1:49
  Brian Kelly coach team, but Lane Kiffin's a show man.
• 1:53
  He had all kinds of celebrities come down and walk in yet Theo
• 1:57
  Von Libby, Don Brooke Nader, some of the ones pumping up the
• 2:02
  crowd as they walked in down the victory hill into the stadium.
• 2:06
  Clemson got out Clemson store on start out the scoring first by
• 2:10
  interception by off of Sam Levitt interception.
• 2:15
  But we defense came out held and they only got 3 points.
• 2:18
  Then LSU just went off and it was 33 three at halftime.
• 2:24
  Matter of fact LSU scored 51 unanswered points.
• 2:28
  The only reason Clemson got a touchdown is because the second
• 2:30
  string defense gave up one. Our first string defense was
• 2:33
  nowhere you weren't there was nowhere for you to go against
• 2:38
  our first string defense. They were all over you.
• 2:42
  The crowd didn't hurt. I mean, the crowd didn't help
• 2:45
  you either. There was a third down more
• 2:47
  constantly burn the time out because the crowd was too, no,
• 2:50
  too loud for them here. You know, LSU just took control.
• 2:56
  They never gave it back. But I want to talk about what
• 2:59
  really got me in that is the 300 yards plus yards of rushing.
• 3:06
  Our run game was surprisingly to me, strong.
• 3:10
  I thought that was a fix that you weren't just going to come
• 3:13
  in and fix overnight. But I it's just hard.
• 3:18
  I'm lost for words at the run game, the run attack.
• 3:22
  We went for 309 yards of rushing last night.
• 3:26
  I don't think we had 300 yards of total rushing through the
• 3:29
  first half of the season last year, let alone in one game.
• 3:33
  We averaged 145 yards a game for rushing and only rushed 13149
• 3:42
  yards on the season last year and we got 309 last night.
• 3:46
  Now look, it was against Clemson.
• 3:48
  I haven't seen Clemson. This was Clemson's first game as
• 3:51
  well. It's hard for you to say what
• 3:53
  Clemson had, but it is still a Clemson team and they're
• 3:56
  historically good and they might go on a run, but they went
• 4:00
  through two quarterbacks last night.
• 4:01
  Neither one of them did anything.
• 4:04
  It's still Clemson. I mean, it might happen a lot
• 4:09
  like last year, but last year we struggled.
• 4:12
  This year we were good. The defense, same time you
• 4:14
  defense scores, it felt good. It feels good.
• 4:18
  Defense got to pick 6 Jordan Ross, that was beautiful.
• 4:23
  You know, once the first touchdown was scored for the the
• 4:26
  kicked off the Lane Kiffin area area era, we never looked back.
• 4:30
  We kept going and you know, Sam, what can you say about Sam
• 4:34
  Levitt? Just for somebody with a foot
• 4:37
  injury who missed spring practice, it's like he didn't
• 4:39
  skip a beat. And like he was along with their
• 4:41
  heap, like he's been at LSU for his whole life and with Lane
• 4:45
  Kiffin for his whole life. He comes out.
• 4:48
  He started off slow with that pick, but he was outstanding.
• 4:53
  He finished the night with a total of 333 yards in 4 total
• 5:00
  touchdowns. 2 passing, 2 rushing.
• 5:02
  His right passing yards were 230.
• 5:05
  His rushing yards were 113. He ran like his life depended on
• 5:09
  it. The offensive line held up
• 5:12
  strong. We even got a unnecessary
• 5:15
  roughness call for excessive blocking last night.
• 5:20
  It just was amazing. The rain did nothing to, you
• 5:25
  know, the rain didn't hamper this team whatsoever.
• 5:29
  And Lane Kiffin had funny, he said he's been in that locker
• 5:32
  room on the visitors locker room for a couple of years now and
• 5:36
  that locker room is terrible. So he just went ahead and said,
• 5:41
  no, we go take our 90 minutes to warm up.
• 5:44
  He knows how bad that locker room is.
• 5:45
  Let him sit in that locker room. Especially high pressure games.
• 5:49
  You know, LSU just completely dominated, destroyed,
• 5:54
  overmatched Clemson last night. I don't necessarily think this
• 5:59
  is a knock on Clemson. Clemson is still a well coached
• 6:02
  team at this point is too early to tell though.
• 6:05
  If we were that, if we're that dominating, if Clemson is just
• 6:11
  that bad, we'll know more in two weeks.
• 6:14
  You know, next week we've got tech.
• 6:16
  We'll know mentally next week where we stand when we go to
• 6:21
  play, when we play live tech at home.
• 6:23
  But overall, we'll know how good of a football team is and how
• 6:28
  well we travel when we go to Ole Miss.
• 6:30
  I think Ole Miss is going to be looking to bounce back because I
• 6:33
  think they're putting too much emphasis on the LSU game and I
• 6:37
  think they're going to drop their opening their opener
• 6:39
  tonight against Louisville. But you know, this isn't a this
• 6:43
  isn't a game on the podcast on Ole Miss.
• 6:46
  This is a game we're talking about last night.
• 6:48
  The positives and I just cannot stress enough, the run game was
• 6:52
  strong. We can finally run the football
• 6:55
  again. And I'm not talking long runs.
• 6:59
  You know, there wasn't one run over 70 yards.
• 7:03
  You know, this was a constant breakdown.
• 7:06
  Let's see her to the we have 58 rush attempts in the yards per
• 7:14
  rush were 5.3 God piece of shit. The average yards per rush was
• 7:20
  5.3. We were relative.
• 7:23
  We were clean relatively on penalties.
• 7:25
  Few things we need to, you know, look up make up for.
• 7:29
  But I just cannot talk enough about the defense only giving up
• 7:34
  10 points. And a lot of that was the seven
• 7:39
  of those points came from garbage time.
• 7:42
  We looked really, really good out there.
• 7:46
  Only gave up a total of 145 total yards, meaning we have had
• 7:52
  thought we out gained them by 500 yards.
• 7:56
  You know, it was domination from the opening kickoff.
• 7:59
  Let me rephrase that. From the first snap the defense
• 8:01
  got on the field, domination. I did not put that up there for
• 8:05
  nothing. LSU dominates Clemson in every
• 8:09
  aspect of that game. Last night from the and the year
• 8:14
  before too, because our fans were outrageous.
• 8:18
  The stadium atmosphere was amazing, the vibes, the whole
• 8:23
  day was amazing. Everything was amazing.
• 8:26
  LSU put on a show. They made a statement last night
• 8:31
  and Lane Kiffin's debut debut was a huge one with 51 total
• 8:37
  points scored, 644 yards of offense, 200 yard rushers, 100
• 8:44
  yard receiver, and the defense only gave up 145 yards.
• 8:52
  We scored on offense, defense, airing the ground, and handed
• 8:56
  Davos Sweeney his worst defeat as the head coach at Clemson in
• 9:02
  Lane Kittens first game as an LSU Tiger.
• 9:06
  And I'll give you my 5 takeaways right now #1 Sam Levitz.
• 9:11
  Legit, it's week 1. But what he did last night
• 9:17
  rushing the ball, he was clean. He needs it.
• 9:21
  He needs to tighten up a little bit, maybe work through the
• 9:24
  nerves. Other than that, he was great #2
• 9:27
  the rushing attack couldn't Rushing attack night and day
• 9:31
  from last year much better than expected.
• 9:33
  Dylan Jones looked fantastic. Sam Levitt looked like a
• 9:37
  trademark pending Jaden Daniels #3 Winston Watson Watkins looks
• 9:44
  ready to become a major weapon. And because I just expected
• 9:47
  this, noted they're #4 just because I expected it, the
• 9:51
  defense is for real. Only giving up 145 yards is
• 9:55
  insane. Might actually be the biggest
• 9:58
  take away. But since I expected not just me
• 10:01
  but everybody else who walked into that stadium, returned on
• 10:05
  that TV last night and tuned in, I don't think anybody expected
• 10:08
  anything less from this defense. And #5 we just look prepared out
• 10:12
  there. You know, we went, we were up 31
• 10:17
  to 3 at half, then 38 to 3:48 to 3:00, then 51 to 3 and we never
• 10:25
  once let Kit let Clemson get back into the game.
• 10:28
  We took our food on the gas and never looked back.
• 10:31
  At 44 to 3 we were going for a 2 point conversion.
• 10:33
  What more can I say? That would have never happened
• 10:35
  under Brian Kelly. It was honestly under Brian
• 10:38
  Kelly. We would have never got a 44 to
• 10:40
  3 point lead to begin with. And like I said earlier, let's
• 10:43
  not get too crazy yet. We'll know it from a mental
• 10:47
  standpoint and emotional standpoint where we're at next
• 10:50
  week versus latex and then we'll know from a football standpoint
• 10:55
  where we're at against Opus when we go there.
• 10:59
  But at this moment, from Week 1, after watching a few week one
• 11:04
  games, watching Oregon almost blowed against Boise State,
• 11:08
  Michigan have to win against Michigan State, not Michigan
• 11:11
  State, Western Michigan, whoever they played looking at them
• 11:17
  having to win on a Hail Mary and a lot of other teams that
• 11:21
  struggled. I think we're contender for the
• 11:23
  national championship after Week 1, after Week 1.
• 11:26
  I think Sam Levitz A Heisman finalists at the very least
• 11:30
  after Week 1. You know, we've got a stretch in
• 11:35
  November where we got Bama, then Texas.
• 11:38
  Best part about that is his is at the Rio Death Valley.
• 11:42
  At the Rio Death Valley we have two home games at against
• 11:45
  Alabama and Texas back-to-back. That'll be tricky.
• 11:48
  We've got old piss coming up in two weeks.
• 11:51
  Texas A&M coming up. Look, I'm not saying I'm
• 11:55
  crowning LSU after one game. I'm just raising my
• 11:57
  expectations. What I want to see next is if we
• 12:00
  can keep up and pick up right where we left off at 6:30 next
• 12:03
  week against Y Tech Don't allow just want to see them.
• 12:06
  Don't come out flat. Don't read your own news clip.
• 12:08
  Things get back to work. Go for it, you know, clean up
• 12:14
  those small mistakes where you left points on the board this
• 12:17
  week, get those points next week.
• 12:18
  But I mean, for the final thoughts, it's hard to knock,
• 12:23
  you know, just enjoy this one. We dominated.
• 12:25
  We're we're back. I guess in a sense of LSU
• 12:31
  football is fun again. You know, like I wasn't planning
• 12:36
  on going to the game next week because it was latech, but now I
• 12:39
  kind of want to go. I want to see the atmosphere.
• 12:42
  I want to be a part of it again. You know, we're going to break
• 12:45
  this down again on Tuesday. No more death.
