Clemson presents a different problem than Oklahoma.  Brent Venables is arguably the best defensive coordinator in college football and his pass defense is formidable.  This will be Joe Burrow's hardest test -- a football version of a final examination -- and I hope he gets the highest grade possible.

Clemson's defense ended the year ranked #2 in YPG. 

So far this year, LSU has played:
Georgia #4
Florida #10
Alabama #17
Auburn #21

It doesn't make much sense that this one game is going to decide whether he's worth a #1OA pick, considering his body of work against top competion the entire year, though i have little doubt he will perform as well as he has all year.
