1. That vaunted passing attack

Obviously, the most intriguing aspect of this game is figuring out how Clemson will deal with that LSU passing attack.

The Bayou Bengals have the top offensive attack in the nation, according to statistics, and they do an excellent job attacking defenses by getting the ball out quick and picking apart the secondary.

Burrow throws accurate passes and what we’ve seen so far is the fact that LSU doesn’t make mistakes.

Instead, the Tigers take what the defense gives them and takes shots down the field.

Clemson will be tasked with slowing that down and it will be interesting to see how Brent Venables deals with that attack Monday night in New Orleans.
