It gives us a chance to show what we got and a great opportunity to play our best football.Both Thomas, who scored three rushing TDs last weekend, and Clemons experienced the LSU environment during their time in the SEC.It is very exciting to play there and from the moment you start to warm up, the fans are on you, Clemons said.
