Clemson vs. LSU: LSU Dominates in a Statement 51–10 Victory


The highly anticipated Week 1 showdown between the Clemson Tigers and LSU Tigers delivered a decisive result, as No. 11 LSU overwhelmed Clemson 51–10 on Saturday night at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge. The victory marked a spectacular start to new head coach Lane Kiffin’s LSU tenure. (ABC News)

LSU Makes a Powerful Opening Statement

Playing in front of a massive home crowd, LSU controlled the game from the opening stages. Quarterback Sam Leavitt was instrumental in the offensive explosion, finishing with 230 passing yards and a touchdown, while also rushing for 113 yards and two touchdowns. (ABC News)

LSU's defense also made a major impact. Edge rusher Jordan Ross returned an interception for a touchdown, adding to Clemson's problems and helping the Tigers turn the matchup into a blowout. (ABC News)

Clemson Struggles Against LSU

Clemson entered the season with significant expectations, but the Tigers struggled to generate momentum against LSU's defense. Christopher Vizzina had been named Clemson's starting quarterback after spending the previous three seasons as a backup to Cade Klubnik, who entered the NFL following the 2025 season. (Reuters)

Instead of a competitive opener, Clemson suffered one of the most lopsided defeats of head coach Dabo Swinney's 19-season tenure, according to Reuters. (Reuters)

A New Era Begins in Baton Rouge

The matchup carried additional significance because it was Lane Kiffin's first game as LSU's head coach. The game was also surrounded by controversy involving LSU's potential use of former professional players, although Dae'Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris ultimately were not included on LSU's roster for the opener. (Reuters)

Despite the distractions and a nearly two-hour weather delay, LSU delivered exactly the kind of performance its supporters hoped to see from the beginning of the Kiffin era. (AP News)

Final Score

LSU 51, Clemson 10

LSU's dominant performance immediately establishes the Tigers as one of the teams to watch early in the 2026 college football season. Clemson, meanwhile, will need to regroup quickly as it looks to recover from a difficult opening night.

The two programs had been scheduled to meet at Tiger Stadium on September 5 as Clemson's 2026 season opener, with the game televised nationally on ABC. (Clemson University Athletics)
