After suffering a 17-10 defeat at home to LSU on Saturday night, Clemson’s season did not get off to the start many had envisioned.

The defense more than held its own in Tom Allen’s first game as coordinator, but the offense mostly sputtered, only managing 261 total yards. LSU’s defense dominated pretty much all night long.
