LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- There was no heroics left in Lamar Jackson's arm, no wizardry in his legs. The brute force of Clemson's defense pulled back the curtain on Jackson's magic show, exposing the alchemy of the Louisville offense much the way it did Auburn's a week ago.

If there were concerns that Clemson wouldn't have the manpower to replace a bevy of departed offensive stars, they've long since been overshadowed by what is clearly one of the best defenses in the nation, with the Tigers utterly flustering the reigning Heisman Trophy winner in a 47-21 win over No.
