The LSU Tigers beat Alabama earlier this season and will now have to beat Clemson if they want to win a national title.
Those are 2 of the best offenses in the country, both loaded with NFL talent.
So, how are they similar? During the College Football Playoff title game media day on Saturday, LSU DC Dave Aranda was asked to compare the 2 offenses:

“They’re similar in that there are RPOs and there is a real explosive and dangerous running back,” he said. “They’re similar in that the receivers are matchup problems — that’s probably where it starts. … The quarterback — his ability to run. … The quarterback run element shows up in those (big) games. We saw that last time out for them against Ohio State.”
Clemson QB Trevor Lawrence did indeed torch Ohio State on the ground, going for more than 100 yards. Can LSU stop him from doing that on Monday night?
