LOUISVILLE, KY – Clemson’s defense didn’t play great at times Saturday night against Louisville but rose to the occasion with the game on the line in the closing seconds, stopping Cardinal quarterback Malik Cunningham on 4th-and-goal at the Clemson two with 10 seconds left to play, lifting the Tigers to a 30-24 victory at Cardinal Stadium.
Clemson took over on downs inside the Louisville 25 with just over two minutes to play but went ultra conservative and settled for a BT Potter field goal and a 30-24 lead, and the Cardinals drove down the field on the ensuing possession and had 1st-and-goal at the Clemson three with just over a minute left.
