LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Second-ranked Clemson pulled away late and secured its 21st straight victory with a 45-10 win over Louisville on Saturday.
The Tigers started the game sluggishly with a pair of Trevor Lawrence interceptions in the first quarter. But, Lawrence and company rebounded and pulled away in the second half thanks to a lights out performance defensively.
Clemson (7-0, 5-0 ACC) shut down a Cardinal (4-2, 2-2 ACC) offense that entered the game third in the conference in scoring offense, rushing and total offense. Louisville was sacked six times, threw a pair of interceptions, fumbled and totaled just 263 total yards.
