No more important game for LSU than Clemson

Let’s face facts.

LSU needs to open its season with a victory at Clemson.

It has been six years since LSU reached the College Football Playoffs. Such a track record is not good at a program like LSU.

The game at Clemson’s Memorial Stadium is going to not simply set the tone for the year. The result of that game will go a long way in determining if LSU is one of the 12 teams in the CFP.
