Lane Kiffin’s debut as LSU’s coach was delayed by a storm but ended triumphantly with a 51-10 victory over Clemson. Sam Leavitt led the team with 230 passing yards and a touchdown, while also rushing for 113 yards and two scores. LSU’s defense shone as Jordan Ross returned an interception for a touchdown. Despite a lightning delay, the game showcased LSU’s potent offense, which amassed 644 yards. Kiffin, who faced criticism for considering adding former NFL players to his roster, chose not to, focusing instead on the current team. Clemson’s coach, Dabo Swinney, acknowledged his team’s poor performance, particularly in stopping the run. The game highlighted LSU’s offensive capabilities and marked Clemson’s worst loss in decades.
