Episode Details

As Championship Week gets underway and LSU enters the final stages of preparation for Clemson, I wanted to go back and rewatch both semifinal games to see what I could learn.

I learned a lot.

Starting with LSU-Oklahoma and wrapping up with Clemson-Ohio State, here's a recap of my rewatch and some of the notes I took while watching both games. This one is light on guests (as in none) but heavy on numbers, and it's a statistically-loaded appetizer for the week to come.

Topics covered:

- Why LSU's defense is playing like the best unit in the country

- Freshmen finding niches

- Juniors coming into their own

- What LSU's offense did differently against Oklahoma

- Keys to attacking Clemson's defense 

- Where Clemson's offense can be slowed down

Hope to be back with more episodes this week, so stay tuned.
