Clemson touchdown pick: Bryant Wesco Jr.
ProphetX probability: 34%
Clemson wideout Bryant Wesco Jr. was named to the All-ACC Preseason Football Team, and he is projected to line up across from P.J. Woodland, who is LSU's lowest-graded cornerback at Pro Football Focus.
According to 247Sports.com, Wesco was a four-star recruit coming out of high school, while Woodland was only a three-star recruit. More importantly, Wesco caught a team-high six touchdowns last season in only seven games.
LSU touchdown pick: Sam Leavitt
ProphetX probability: 47%
LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt has scampered for five touchdowns in each of the past two years. Meanwhile, Lane Kiffin loves to ask his quarterbacks to use their legs.
Kiffin coached the Ole Miss Rebels from 2020-25. Trinidad Chambliss rushed for eight scores last season, and former Rebels QB Jaxson Dart totaled 12 TDs in his three years as a starter for Kiffin.
Clemson vs LSU touchdown combo
