00:00Let's keep it in the SEC.

00:01The LSU Tigers were down by a touchdown at the break to the Clemson Tigers

00:05in the Battle of Death Valley.

00:06Final score, LSU 17, Clemson 10, 14 unanswered in the second half.

00:12And my goodness, that LSU defense held the Clemson running game, Joe,

00:16to 20 carries for 31 yards.

00:18That's 1.6 yards per carry.

00:21Defense, defense, defense.

00:23And Brian Kelly gets a victory opening weekend against a quality opponent.

00:27Yeah, I love the under in this game.

00:30I thought that's exactly what we were going to get, two quality defenses.

00:34I mean, folks do not understand.

00:36LSU and Brian, they went out of their way to recruit in the portal

00:42to solidify that defense.

00:44That was the number one priority.

00:46And you know what?

00:47They came out with the highest grade of winning the portal in the transfer game.

00:51And it showed in a big, big way on the defensive side of the ball there.

00:57And listen, if you're Clemson, if you can't run the ball, okay,

01:01Cade Klubnick is not going to throw the ball 40 times a game

01:04and you're winning anything, especially when they lost their best wide receiver,

01:07I think, in the first quarter there.

01:09He was out of the game.

01:11So LSU, they'll get better offensively.

01:14But that defense, that's what could carry this team

01:18to a SEC championship in the playoffs.

01:20So, we'll take advantage of it.
