The LSU Tigers are just hours away from taking on No. 4 Clemson on Saturday night. The game is appointment television for all college football fans, as both teams have National Championship hopes this season. Furthermore, LSU QB Garrett Nussmeier and Clemson QB Cade Klubnik are also firmly in the Heisman conversation. Needless to say, there are plenty of storylines to watch in this matchup.
