It's ALWAYS the Offensive Line.

Look at every game lost during the past 5 years. Clemson has not been able to run to ball consistently, especially in short yardage, and our QB's are harassed on virtually every throw. The Offensive Line controls the game, every game, and Clemson has not done that against elite teams since 2018.

Personnel packages and play design do not support a running game***

OK, they have a two back set. Get your point though. Our first two tight ends don't even weigh 240 lbs. But, aside from packages, the O line failed miserably in pass protection. Supposed to be much improved and no longer an issue with the top O line coach in the country. Huge gap in talent level between these two teams sitting at the game and watching the line of scrimmage. Top WR room in the country we were told. Wrong again. Not even in the same class as a mid tier SEC team.

You make a great point about "Talent Level" against LSU in the interior line positions. Just watch the LSU linemen jog or walk. They look like coordinated athletes of 180 lbs who just happen to weigh 350 lbs. They are athletic and it is obvious. Then watch our offensive linemen jog off the field or walk on the sideline. Good Lord, we have a center who cannot jog at all and probably couldn't finish a 40 yard dash. The difference in athletic talent up front is so obvious!

The offensive line didn’t help, but Cade also misses wide open guys and panics, runs backwards, doesn’t step up in the pocket.

Is the opposite. KLUBNIK made some bad plays, but the majority of it is the offensive line

Lukes guys have not hit the field yet. OL will get better, the OL is about to be the biggest Clemson has ever had but the question will then be whos going to be the OC.

I hope it's someone that runs 'their' offense and not the 'Clemson' offense.

Yes. How many OCs do we need to see where the problem lies?
Dabs controls the offense! Wake up

I think it was Kiffin that made the OL look bad.
