LSU has lost its last five season openers, including three straight under head coach Brian Kelly.
The last time the Tigers won a season opener was 2019 when they hammered Georgia Southern 55-3 to begin an unbeaten season. Kelly believes the changes in the roster have produced tougher players.
“Everybody talks about iron sharpening iron,” Kelly said. ”We didn’t have iron all the time (in previous camps). We had iron vs. butter. Butter doesn’t like iron. So, from that perspective, the competition in (this) camp was so much different.”
Clemson typically doesn't dip into the transfer portal, priding itself on retaining its players. The Tigers have one of the most experienced team in college football, returning eight starters on both sides of the football, contributing to their high preseason ranking.
Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney said experience only counts for so much.
“The guys have put the work in,” Swinney said. “We’ve been around a lot of good teams, and this team has the ingredients to be a really good team, but we’ve got to go do the work. We can’t talk about it or predict our way into it.”
