  "account": "Baton Rouge, La. (AP) — Lane Kiffin's LSU debut may have been delayed, but it certainly wasn't derailed. The first annual payment for the season was $205.00 plus GST, which would automatically renew at $233.00 plus GST every 52 weeks. Offer available to new and qualified returning subscribers only, but could be cancelled at any time.\n\nAgainst Clemson, LSU's Sam Leavitt contributed 113 rushing yards and two touchdowns, while edge rusher Jordan Ross returned an interception for a score. LSU overwhelmed Clemson with 51 points, outgaining them 336 yards to 54 and accumulating 21 first downs to Clemson's one.\n\nLSU's up-tempo offense took the field without delay, running 23 plays for 140 yards. The team finished with 644 total offensive yards in what would be a resounding 51-10 victory. LSU's defense was also impressive, producing four sacks and holding Clemson to less than 100 yards, without a touchdown until late in the fourth quarter.\n\nDespite the downpour and a lightning delay that pushed kickoff back nearly two hours, a sellout crowd at Tiger Stadium of 102,000 was present for the game. LSU's success in the face of adversity marked a stark contrast to Clemson's worst loss in about 30 years.",
