CLEMSON - A physical defense like Clemson allowing 263 rushing yards, as the Tigers did at Notre Dame earlier this month, is a hard statistic to handle. But, the Tigers were able to successfully overcome this with a dominant performance against Louisville.
Clemson is still ranked No. 19 in the country for rushing defense, allowing an average of 111.6 rushing yards per game. Defensive coordinator Wes Goodwin was proud of the way the defense responded with this physicality.
“I thought our guys played with great effort Saturday night and playing physical, playing fast, playing tough,” Goodwin said.
