Cardinals stumble, Tigers pounce: Clemson takes lead into halftime

A stunning turn of events at L&N Stadium has the 4-5 Clemson Tigers heading to the locker room with a 10-9 lead over the 7-2 Louisville Cardinals in a game defined by two massive, game-altering miscues.

The entire complexion of the half flipped on a disastrous 7-second sequence for Louisville.

With 3:20 left in the second quarter, Louisville led 9-3 and was driving. Running back Duke Watson took the handoff, but Clemson's Avieon Terrell forced a fumble at the LOU25 and recovered it himself.

On the very next play—Clemson's first of the drive—running back Adam Randall exploded through the line for a 25-yard touchdown.
