00:00But if I'm looking at one quarterback today, 270, 284 and a half,

00:03who are you taking to go over tonight?

00:04I would take, I probably would take Klubnik.

00:07And the reason why I say that is because, again,

00:10I believe Nussmeier could put up points and yards in this game.

00:13I don't know if it's going to be as high scoring as you say.

00:16The reason why is because I believe that LSU has to run the football.

00:20They were inconsistent last year, about 15 per game.

00:23Caden Durham has a very light number, 63, 64 and a half.

00:27I altered them as high as 70 and 80 plus.

00:30And I keep going back to the games that Clemson lost.

00:33They lost and got beat up by a more physical offense line, South Carolina.

00:37Louisville was able to run the football.

00:39They had their highest rush defense total in the last 10 years,

00:43allowing 160 yards per game.

00:46And Texas beat them down in the rushing attack with over 200 yards.

00:50If they can't shut down the run against LSU, they're going to be in trouble.

00:54We got some good numbers and some really good wide receivers in this game, Joe.

00:58Antonio Williams, his number, 56 and a half.

01:00Wesco, 55 and a half.

01:02Anderson, 62 and a half.

01:03Like, you have some manageable statistics.

01:05When you're trying to bet these in the NFL, Joe, it's like,

01:07hey, I've got to get a guy over 90 and a half yards.

01:09Give me a wide – if I – again, one from each team.

01:12Who are you playing today, Clemson, LSU?

01:14I would go Aaron Anderson is my guy.

01:16I've said this.

01:17I mean, Aaron Anderson, to me, he's got a little trend in Holiday.

01:20He's bigger than Holiday, but he's got that type of speed.

01:23Plus, he always steps up in a big spot, right?

01:25We talk about the talent coming in.

01:27Green is there.

01:28Barry and Brown.

01:29You've got Nick Anderson from Oklahoma.

01:32They have a ton of talent.

01:33But Aaron Anderson is the guy that could take games over.

01:37Go back to the Texas A&M game.

01:39Go back to the bowl win over Baylor.

01:41Aaron Anderson is the security blanket for Garrett Nussmeyer.

01:45Do I lean to Williams and Wesco for Clemson?

01:49I would probably take Wesco over Williams.

01:51I just don't buy into them big picture.

01:54And, again, I believe they could take it away, the D-backs of LSU.

01:57So tough week number zero and week number one, Joe,

02:00because guys always step up like, whoa, didn't know this freshman was that good

02:04or this senior really stepped up or I thought, you know,

02:06this guy was going to get the ball much more times,

02:07which is why I bring up the rushing yards in this game.

02:10You look at multiple sportsbooks here.

02:11Caden Durham comes up at 62 and a half.

02:14The other two guys, Cade Klubnick and Adam Randall.

02:16Like, we trust these guys.

02:18Forget Klubnick as the quarterback situation, Joe.

02:19Give me a running back that you're going to look at today that can either find

02:23pay dirt or just maybe get enough carries to get over his total.

02:26Well, I mean, I'm on Durham for LSU.

02:29I believe Randall was the starter for Clemson.

02:32But, again, you're talking about basically a running back by committee.

02:36Phil Moffa was there.

02:37They had a running back by committee.

02:38Moffa was the guy each and every week to go through his total.

02:42And Klubnick is a guy that rushed for well over four yards per carry.

02:46I mean, that's why I think it's tough when we look at this matchup.

02:49Because, again, if you're Clemson, and I look at the defense for Blake Baker last year,

02:54Marcel Reid abused you in the second half of that matchup.

02:57Three rushes, basically 52 yards, and two touchdowns.

03:01He abused them.

03:02Jalen Milrow under over 100 yards in that victory, right?

03:05Jackson dart for a half.

03:07They struggle with mobile quarterbacks.

03:09If we're looking at the running backs,

03:11it could be Cade Klubnick on the ground that blows through his number.

03:14Yeah, some touchdown guys, Joe.

03:15Adam Randall, minus 160 price.

03:17Caden Durham here at minus 140.

03:19Cade Klubnick at a minus 110 price.

03:21But the energy is going to be high in the stadium today, no doubt about it.

03:25A 7.30 start.
