First Test: An Early Look at LSU vs. Clemson

LSU opens its season Sept. 5 against Clemson in Baton Rouge, a prime-time rematch of last year’s 17-10 LSU win that felt like a College Football Playoff eliminator but instead preceded disappointing years for both programs.

Trey’dez Green caught the go-ahead touchdown with just over 12 minutes left in that defensive slugfest, and LSU’s defense slammed the door to secure the victory between two rosters loaded with future NFL draft picks.
