You're right, we're not Bama. We're Clemson. The same team that had the #1 rated D last year and are on pace for a top 10 D this year at the very least.
He's not that far behind Fournette and he's unquestionably gone up against tougher defenses. The toughest rush d Fournette has faced?...Wait for it...SYRACUSE!
ND's o-line is arguably the biggest in the country not to mention a lot of people had CJ Prosise in the Heisman discussion before the game. They ended up with 116 yards on 34 carries and Prosise didn't even break 50 yards.
I'm comparing the run games.
LSU = #3 in the country
GT= #9 in the country ( and that is after we completely shut them down )
Bottom line, LSU wouldn't be able to run on us.
None of the teams y'all have played are anywhere close to ND. Georgia had/has a Virginia washout as QB and all LSU has is a running game. Ask GT how just running against us works out.
Winning 5 of 6 was all for naught as well considering y'all haven't done anything nationally and are on pace to lose 3 straight ( at a minimum ) against us.
