Clemson’s defense
Full Analysis:
Clemson football completely dominated three quarters of this game.
After the two teams settled in, the Tigers were able to take control. Clemson football held Louisville to basically nothing until the second-string came into the game in the fourth quarter, hence the 14 points in the fourth.
Tavien Feaster and Travis Etienne both looked explosive in the backfield and Kelly Bryant carved the Cardinal secondary up after he settled in and that was really encouraging to see.
Overall, it was a great win for Clemson football and the Tiger proved to the nation that they aren’t going anywhere.
