The school has recorded 11 of its 39 wins under Ed Orgeron's guidance against such opponents and defeated top-25 clubs 17 times during the coach's tenure. LSU also has a knack for winning comfortably under Orgeron, with 30 of its victories coming by double-digits.
LSU has gone 25 consecutive quarters without trailing and has not been behind in the fourth this season. The squad last faced a deficit on Oct. 26, when it then-No. 9 Auburn took a 13-10 lead early in the third quarter before LSU scored a pair of rushing touchdowns en route to a 23-20 victory. LSU should feel right at home in the Superdome, where it owns a 14-5 record and has won 10 of its last 11 visits.
Why Clemson can cover
Clemson possesses a defense that ranks first in the nation in points allowed (11.5) and against the pass (151.5 yards). The squad also has permitted the fewest first downs (189) and tops the country in pass efficiency defense (96.3) while ranking second in total defense (264.1 yards). Clemson is no slouch on the other side of the ball and is third in total offense (538.4 yards) and needs 31 points to break the school record of 664 set last season.
Etienne has registered 22 touchdowns (four receiving) this season, making him the first player in program history to record 20 in multiple campaigns after scoring 26 in 2018. The junior has amassed 2,030 all-purpose yards this season to join C.J. Spiller (2,680 in 2009) and Sammy Watkins (2,288 in 2011) as the school's only players to reach 2,000 in a season. Etienne needs seven yards to pass Raymond Priester (3,966) for first place on Clemson's all-time list and 40 to become the ninth player in ACC history with 4,000 in his career.
