2. Injuries mounting up

Perhaps the most concerning factor coming into this one for Clemson has to do with the fact that the Tigers have injuries mounting up.

Though no one is expected to miss the game, it was clear that Clemson left the Fiesta Bowl banged up all across the field- especially at wide receiver.

Neither Tee Higgins nor Justyn Ross were playing at 100 percent and Clemson is going to need those two in this one.

LSU is going to score some points and Clemson will need to match that. Having two of the top wide receivers in the country healthy is a huge factor heading into this one.
