Louisiana Tech improved to 1-1 following its 52-17 rout of Stephen F. Austin on Saturday. Louisiana Tech gained 515 yards of total offense while turning the ball over just once and held the Lumberjacks to 305 yards of total offense and forced three turnovers.

Louisiana Tech quarterback Parker McNeil has passed for 339 yards with five touchdowns and one interception. The leading rusher is Marquis Crosby with 219 yards and two touchdowns, while the leading receiver is Griffin Hebert with 156 yards and two touchdown receptions. On defense, linebacker Tyler Grubbs is the leading tackler with 16 while the leader in quarterback sacks is linebacker Hugh Davis with 1.5. Two players each have one interception for Louisiana Tech.

Clemson improved to 2-0 following its 35-12 victory over the Furman Paladins on Saturday. Clemson gained 376 yards of total offense but committed two turnovers, while the Tigers allowed 384 yards of total offense to Furman and forced a pair of Paladins’ turnovers. Clemson played sloppy in a game the Tigers should have thoroughly dominated.

The leading rusher is Will Shipley with 110 yards and four touchdowns, while the leading receiver is Beaux Collins with 111 yards and two touchdown receptions. On defense, linebacker Barrett Carter is the leading tackler with 17, while the leader in quarterback sacks is end K.J. Henry with 2.0. Safety Andrew Mukuba has one interception to lead Clemson.

Louisiana Tech will be no match for Clemson on both sides of the ball as the Tigers are a force to be reckoned with in possession as well as on defense. Clemson has covered the number in four of the last five. In contrast, Louisiana Tech has failed to cover the number in seven of the last nine and on the road the Bulldogs have failed to cover the nut in each of the last five. Final Score Prediction, Clemson Tigers win and cover ATS 53-17.
