LOUISVILLE, KY – Clemson kicked off the 'Championship Phase' of its season with a bang as they defeated Louisville 30-24 at Cardinal Stadium Saturday night behind another late score and defensive stop.
The Tigers improved to 6-3 overall and 5-2 in the ACC, while Louisville fell to 4-5 overall and 2-4 in conference play.
The injury bug continues to be an issue for Clemson. Kobe Pace was knocked out of the game with a head injury, Andrew Booth missed time after taking a helmet to the knee early in the game, Will Shipley missed time with a head injury, and DJ Uiagalelei suffered a knee injury that he played with during the last two-and-a-half quarters.
