LSU Made MASSIVE DOUBTER A TRUE BELIEVER After DEMOLISHING Clemson! | Lane Kiffin · SEC Football Addiction

  Speaker 1: Let's go to that other game. Clemson and LSU.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: I thought we would end up leading with this. I
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: thought this would be one of the games of the week. Boy,
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: was I wrong. Man, when LSU threw that first pick,
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: it was like, man, this will be fun. Like, look,
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Clemson's already.
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: You know, like, let's go. We had to wait extra
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: time for this. Not so fast. Presented by prize picks.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Here we are at the power to talk in LSU
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: and Clemson. And listen, I spent a lot of time.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: I did a Clemson reaction video last night. So we
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: can talk about them a little bit, but I do
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: really want to focus on LSU. I've got to take, again,
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: it's a week one overreaction. So I'm going to do
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: it for every game that's on here. I said before
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: the season, there were seven teams that can win the
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: national championship. I'm saying there's eight right now. That's my
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: reaction is that there's another team that can now win
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: a national championship. Now, I think what we need to
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: figure out very quickly, and we will. is Clemson this
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: bad or man was LSU just this good?
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: I think it's a little bit of both, but to
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: tell you the truth, I'm like, I have nothing else
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: to base this on. We only have one data point.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: I'm like 65, 35 that LSU is just this good.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Like I think Clemson not having a quarterback is a massive,
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: massive problem, but LSU's offense. Remember I told you at
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: one point last week, I said, I think I said,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: LSU's offense is.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Going to get it clicking.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: They're going to figure it out. They're going to get
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: going this year. I just don't know if it's game one.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: This could be a little slower.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Well, guess what? It was drive two. And the only
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: reason it wasn't drive one is because a ball hit
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: off a guy's hands. Love it.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: It wasn't like, that's the only reason it wasn't drive one.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: And then their defense showed up immediately. Again, Clemson doesn't
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: have a quarterback. LSU, I'm not saying they're going to
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: the playoff, but I'll be pretty surprised if they don't
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: based off of week one. And I think they are
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: the eighth team that can win a national championship. We'll
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: get to Oregon in a minute. Maybe there still only
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: are seven teams. But I think LSU can win a
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: national championship this year. That's my week one overreaction. Cole,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: we'll go to the SEC first.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: Case in point, all the questions that you want to
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: see answered about what this offense could be with 50
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: new players on the roster.
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: Hell yeah, it answered.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: And that may be, again, an overreaction because we don't
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: know what Clemson is. We'll have a better gauge on
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: when they face off against North Carolina. But still, it's
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: the fact of it's so much newness, and it felt
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: like that after that opening drive, they'd been playing for months.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: They looked like a team that actually took the offseason seriously,
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: got its act together, and left no shred of doubt
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: that they would be able to come in immediately and
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: kick ass.
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: That's what it looked like last night.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Now, let's be real. There are some things to clean up.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: There's always things to clean up in almost every single game.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: There were some passing issues that I thought were some
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: weaknesses for Sam Levin at times, but he made up
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: for it by being your leading rusher with over 113
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: yards and two touchdowns.
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: So, like, take the good with the bad.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: Maybe instead of having one more rushing touchdown and 113 yards,
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: he finished with one touchdown and 73 yards. And you
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: take those other yards and you put it towards your
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: passing attack and then another touchdown through the air.
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: Like, that's fine.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: The big element that I don't think enough people paid
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: attention to was that LSU couldn't run the football to
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: save its bleepin' life last year. And enter Kevin Smith,
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: the guy that turned Keewon Lacey into a human highlight
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: reel last season, and you get over 300 rushing yards.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: And you average over 5 yards of play. And you
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: have 2 running backs that are finishing with over 6
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: yards per carry. And you have 4 touchdowns. And you
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: have 9 explosive runs of 20 yards downfield. I mean,
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: you have 9 explosive runs of 15 yards downfield. I mean,
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: all the things that you want to see were very
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: much on display. Winston Watkins, the four-star freshman that came
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: on in with him from Ole Miss, leading receiver, looked
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: really confident running this offense, as expected. Trey Des Green
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: once again had his moments. You saw Phillip Wright have
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: some big plays. Jackson Harris had that one big catch.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: Eugene Wilson had a couple big-time plays. So the depth
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: at wide receiver is there. It's just now building off
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: of those little details that can get you past the
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: hump and put you in that category of, elite level play.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: And then defensively, I mean, the athletes that they just
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: have waiting in the wings that you can say, hey,
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: go on second down to just.
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: Change shit up. It's mind boggling. It's absolutely asinine.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: And the way that once again, you just find talent
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: that comes on in and it doesn't even feel like
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: that they've been playing outside of the SEC. Ty Benefield
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: was incredible last night. He was one of the best
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: defensive players we have seen this season. And I get it,
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: it's week one. We've only seen like probably seven or
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: eight really elite performances.
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: He's one of them.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: And you get to have him paired alongside with Woodland
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: and Pickett in the backfield, and he will end up
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: helping change the way that.
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: Offense coordinators have to scheme up the passing attack.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: So it's a reach because of, again, there's one side
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: of the pillow that says, LSU is on a warpath
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: to go to Atlanta, make the college football playoff, and
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: they are one of now eight teams that can win
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: a national title. And then you've got to flip it
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: to the other side because if it's 3 a.m. and
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: you need to go ahead and get cooler, and you realize,
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: oh God, this is an awful performance by Clemson, and
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: I don't think it's going to get better because if
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: we have Chad Morris as our offensive coordinator and Dabo
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: literally feeling like he's thrown in the towel on halftime.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's a middle ground because we don't know
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: which is which right now. But if you want to
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: overreact after last night, what you can say is that
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: LSU is good enough to go and win playoff games
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: and be in that conversation to compete for a national title.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: And the one final thing I will say on this
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: one is that imagine if you had NFL.
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: Players on your roster, what the score would have been.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: More specifically, Lane, do you want to know that you put...
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: You put your team in this position and hell yeah
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: for being able to show up for the moment and
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: this not being corralled to you.
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: But like at this point, be honest for a second.
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: Do we even need them to play? Do you even
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: need them now?
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: So this whole drama that got started was you in
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: the offseason, which by the way, let me preface this
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: for the final time because so many people love to
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: get it. I know it's not only LSU. There's a
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: lot of schools that did this. A lot of schools
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: need to be held accountable for this. But LSU was
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: the most boastful about it.
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: That's all I'm going to say.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: I spent all of last week trying to not like
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin.
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: It's hard not to.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: That comment to Holly, I was just like, bro, you know,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: it's like, what is it? Dumb and Dumber? Where he
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: goes every, no. Yeah, Dumb and Dumber.
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: Just when you think you pulled me out, you pulled
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: me back in.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: You can't do it. You go and do something like
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: this and pull me back in. And I was just like, God,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: I love this guy.
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: Totally redeem yourself.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: It's so bad.
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: 100%, man.
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: Like, Lane is.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Gosh, man, it's entertainment.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: You know, like we do get so upset about these
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: things and like, oh my God, the sanctity of the sport.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: And it's like, it is a game. Like, first of all,
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: like I know that we get all emotional. Yeah, they're,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Credit to them.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: The question about LSU was never talent, Tom. It was
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: never talent. It was, could it work together this quickly?
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: And my gosh, it worked last night. I'll get right
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: back to the clip, but first want to give some
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: love to prize picks over on the live show. We
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: picked all of these picks that you're seeing there on
• 7:02

• 7:13
  Speaker 2: So go check that out. We appreciate PrizePix for their support.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Now back to the clip. I was so impressed with
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: the defense for LSU. I'll talk about the offense in
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: a second, but just animals. The entire game.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: They're insane, man.
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: Pick a guy. They went off last night.
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: It was animalistic. They were relentless the entire game. Part
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: of that was the build-up to this entire season, first
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: game of the year, the rain delay. They were champing
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: at the bit this entire game. It was really impressive.
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: Whit Weeks was fantastic, and I know he dealt with
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: injuries last year. Defensive line was incredible. To give some
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: perspective on Clemson offensively, I know everybody's going to come
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: for Vazina. I don't think it mattered who was at
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: quarterback last night. And I was reminded of Georgia, Texas
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: a few years ago when Quinn Ewers got subbed out
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: for a freshman Arch Manning. And everybody and their brother
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: in that building was like, this ain't going to make
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: a difference. And Arch quickly came off the field like
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: Homer Simpson going into the bushes. And I was like,
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: Tate Reynolds' legs aren't going to make this better. Tate
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: Reynolds going in here, having missed his entire senior season
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: of high school football, this isn't going to get better.
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: So Vazina, he had very little time to make decisions.
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: The outside run game seemed to be what Chad Morris
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: was focused on. And that has been his, you know,
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: MO for many years. They tried to set the edge as, uh,
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: as Davos said after the game, It was impossible to
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: do against this defense.
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: And they didn't change course.
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: They tried running the football outside consistently. Not to say
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: that going inside really would have made a difference. But
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: then you put your quarterback in third and long situations consistently.
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: And you just set up Baker to give you different
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: looks every single time. You drop a D lineman into
• 8:56
  Speaker 6: coverage to get a pick six. Like, And Vazina didn't
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: have a chance. And I don't think Vazina is a
• 9:01
  Speaker 6: good quarterback. I don't think there's a good quarterback room,
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: but I wouldn't be shocked if Vazina got their start
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: next week, just because this was, you just kind of
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: throw the baby out with the bathwater of this whole situation.
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: LSU ran the football extremely well. Their wide receivers leave
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: some to be desired. I think there's a lot of
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: twos and threes within this wide receiver core, and that's
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: not bad.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: There's just no alpha.
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: Trades Green, I don't think, is a world beater at
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: tight end, but he's certainly very athletic, and he creates
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: some mismatches for LSU.
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: It was a lot of dink and dunk.
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: You saw Sam Levitt kind of settle into the offense,
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: a guy who was banged up a lot last year
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: with the least frank injury.
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: So I was.
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: Encouraged to see how Sam Levitt kind of got his
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: legs underneath him, literally and figuratively. He got used to
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: the offense as the game went on. First quarter, you
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: could tell he was settling in. Second quarter, okay, he
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: feels better. Clemson quit by about the end of the
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: second quarter, I would say. So everything escalated. that was
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: just let's get this thing over with kind of what
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: arizona state dealt with morgan state hey can we condense
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: this to a 10 minute fourth quarter and just be
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: done with it after a while they could have done
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: that so lsu ran the hell out of the football
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: the offensive line is outstanding yes really really good the
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: defensive line is outstanding In this era of college football,
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: that's going to get you really, really far in life.
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: Sam Levitt, how will he deal with better defenses?
• 10:29
  Speaker 6: That's my question because they have five opponents on their
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: schedule in the regular season that can make his life
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: difficult and keep him in the pocket and force him
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: to throw, force him to hold the ball a little
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: bit longer. That's where I think there's going to be
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: issues for LSU potentially this season. But if they can
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: run the ball the way they did last night consistently,
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: they're going to be just fine defensively.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: No notes. Big fan.
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, real fast.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: Tom, do you realize that we're bitching about the offense
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: and things that they need to clean on up? And
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: they still finished with over 600 yards of total profits.
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: That in itself is impressive.
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: Clemson gave up after a while.
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: And then time will tell where Clemson falls within the
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: hierarchy of the ACC. Are they middle of the pack?
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: Are they bottom of the barrel? We really just don't know.
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: So it's hard to tell at this point in time.
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: I think LSU is going to have some fun with
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: Ole Miss. I think it will be a competitive game,
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: far more than this one.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: What Ole Miss lost to LSU, especially in the draft,
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: I worry for the Rebels.
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: We're going to find out tonight what Ole Miss is.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: What I thought was also really impressive, and tell me
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: if I'm wrong on this, TJ, there wasn't anything special
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: about the play callings or the designs by Blake Baker.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: He just kicked the crap.
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: Out of Chad Morris.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: He put him through the woodshed. They were running cover
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: zero blitzes and saying, here, just go downfield and just
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: tackle the running back. hey uh just play man coverage
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: and don't let let let uh brian west go pass
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: you by like one team felt like that its offensive
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: game plan was let's be creative and find ways to
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: get all of our playmakers involved to keep them guessing
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: and the other team was like oh 12's not open
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: all right we're.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Done yeah it was so i.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: Mean with them specifically like If you're a fan of LSU,
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: which I know, man, we've talked about them so much
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: recently just due to everything else that's gone on. But
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: if you're a fan of LSU... that might be the
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: most encouraging part is that you didn't do anything special.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: You just lined up and beat the guy across from you.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Every single play entire game. This wasn't like, I mean,
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Lane Kiffin is so good and Charlie Weiss is so good.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: And Blake's really good on the defensive side of the ball.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: They didn't do anything like coaching wise, other than just
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: put guys in the right position. This wasn't like, man,
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: they out scheme the hell out of them. And Rhett
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Lashley steals a win from Miami or something like that. No,
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: they just beat them. And that's the most encouraging part. Again,
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: the one grain of salt that I'll throw into this
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: whole thing, and this is not anti-LSU, I do want
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: to see what Clemson looks like.
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: Again, it's one day to play. Sure, yeah, of course.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Is this Clemson's FSU 2024 year?
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Like, is Clemson a 2010 team? Like, I don't think
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: they are.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: But, man, who looks better, DJ Uyungle against Georgia Tech
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: in Dublin or Christopher Vazina last night in Baton Rouge?
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: It's DJ, my name, my much.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: It's not even close, man.
• 13:32
  Speaker 6: There are still NFL players on both sides of the
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: ball for Clemson. That's the reason why this game stands
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: out so much is because there are defensive players at
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: linebacker and defensive line, maybe in the secondary for Clemson.
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: There are NFL players at wide receiver at least, I think,
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: for Clemson. I have no idea of anywhere else on
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: the offensive side of the ball. That's why I think
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: this stands out to so many people because the other
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: blowouts across the board, it's against the Furmans of the world,
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: the Marshalls of the world.
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: It's like, okay, you should kill these teams, Michigan.
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: But this was surprising for a lot of reasons. And
• 14:09
  Speaker 6: it was just, hey, will LSU be the monster that
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: we think they can be? And the early answer is, yeah, probably.
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: Okay, perfect.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: I'm going to give you guys an opportunity to answer
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: this right now. You have to pick a door. You,
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: there are two doors. You have to pick one. What
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: is more likely LSU goes to the playoff in 2026,
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: or this is Davos last season.
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: I mean, I think it's both, but yeah, I think
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: it's both, but LSU is going to the playoff.
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: Unless something goes terribly wrong. I believe in LSU.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: Clemson still has, I mean, their, their schedule looks tougher
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: now with the hindsight of this. And if they don't
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: figure out the quarterback position, but like, they still play
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: a lot of teams that like I'm not picking. If,
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: if the FSU game happened next week, I'm, I'm still
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: picking Clemson to find a way to win.
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: You know, like they still, are you picking North Carolina
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: now to win this game?
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Now that who does North Carolina play this week?
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: Cause they had.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: Some, some random team and then they get to go
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: face off against Clemson. They both get cupcakes to warm up.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: I think Clemson will be able to stop them defensively.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: We'll talk about it when we get to that week,
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: but I do want to see what Vazina looks like,
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: but I think, Again, we're playing the transitive property times
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: like six now. I think TCU is really, really bad.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: Not that I'm not saying that North Carolina winning wasn't impressive,
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: but I probably am still leaning Clemson in that. But
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: I'm probably taking Cal, even though they lost last week.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: I'm probably taking Cal over Clemson.
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: I'm 100% taking Cal.
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: UNC is Eastern Tennessee State this week. Oh, gosh.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, I don't know. Clemson, listen.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: This is the most silver. This is the most TJ
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: silver lining of all time, but here we go. Clemson
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: lost a 34 to three against Georgia in 2024 to
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: open the year.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Now that did look a lot different.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: It was six, nothing at halftime, Georgia scored on four
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: of their last five possessions, but they were outmatched in
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: that game too. And still went to the playoff. So
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: I'm not by any means suggesting that they could go
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: to the playoff. Obviously they had a much different quarterback
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: at that moment, but it is week to week, man.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: We'll see if they come out and be North Carolina.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: It just to me feels like, It feels like Les
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: Miles with Cam Cameron.
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: It feels like that.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: The drain is being circled there in Clemson, South Carolina,
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: which I like Dabo. I wanted to see what his
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: press conference was like if they won this game. But unfortunately,
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: by the middle of the first quarter, I knew that
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: that wasn't happening.
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: This game was over after the first pick because then
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: you pissed off Lane. So it's like, all right, here
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: you go.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: They had one.
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: Drive of over four plays before the fourth quarter. That's bad.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: They had negative rushing yards.
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: They didn't have a lot.
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: Guys, they had 100 yards. With three minutes left in
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: the game. That's when they finally got to 100 yards
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: of offense.
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: It's bad.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Not good in Clemson, South Carolina.
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: Really, really good in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
