Clemson’s Offensive Line Wasn’t Ready for LSU

About this episode

Clemson’s offensive line was overwhelmed against LSU, and almost every offensive problem flowed from what happened up front.Morgan Thomas breaks down why Clemson could not establish the run, why play action never had a chance, why the passing game became so limited, and how LSU consistently created confusion and pressure against a young Tigers offensive line.But this episode goes beyond simply blaming Brayden Jacobs, Elyjah Thurmon, Ronan O’Connell, or the other young linemen.Clemson entered the season after losing a massive amount of experience from Blake Miller, Tristan Leigh, Walker Parks, and Ryan Linthicum. So why was this roster allowed to enter Baton Rouge without more proven help?That brings the discussion back to Matt Luke, Dabo Swinney, player development, recruiting, and Clemson’s decisions in the transfer portal.Was LSU simply good enough to expose a young offensive line, or did Clemson create this problem long before kickoff?Subscribe to Locked On Clemson for daily Clemson football coverage.00:00 Clemson’s Offensive Line Wasn’t Ready 04:48 Why LSU Created So Much Confusion 07:24 Every Offensive Problem Started Up Front 08:41 Who Is Responsible for This Roster? 14:37 Did LSU Expose Clemson or Did Clemson Fail Itself? 19:35 Nothing on Offense Worked 23:43 Clemson Could Have Added More Experience 28:07 Dabo Swinney Owns the Roster ConstructionSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Poncho Outdoors Go to https://ponchooutdoors.com/LOCKEDON and enter your email to get $10 off and free shipping on your first order.KALSHI For a limited time, Download the Kalshi app and use code [LOCKEDON] to get $10 when you trade $10.SupplyHouse Visit https://SupplyHouse.com/TM to learn more about becoming a Trade Master.
