Overview
- Adam Randall’s 1-yard score with 7:16 remaining proved decisive after his 46-yard burst set up the go-ahead drive.
- Louisville’s Cooper Ranvier missed an extra point and a 50-yard field goal, and backup Nick Keller missed a 46-yarder with 1:33 left after penalties followed a botched Clemson punt snap.
- The Cardinals committed 10 penalties for 98 yards and lost a fumble by Duke Watson at their 25 that Clemson cashed in for a touchdown.
- Clemson converted just 1 of 13 third downs and gained 308 yards, yet the defense closed it out late; Cade Klubnik went 22-of-34 for 187 yards.
- Louisville dropped to 7-3 (4-3 ACC), badly damaging its ACC title and CFP hopes despite 135 rushing yards from Keyjuan Brown and a trick-play TD pass from Caullin Lacy.
