Clemson football: Game-by-game predictions for 2021 season
Game-by-game predictions for the 2021 Clemson football schedule
Nov. 6: @ Louisville Cardinals
Louisville has some pieces, led by QB Malik Cunningham, but the Cardinals may be in utter disarray by this point in the season.
Scott Satterfield has been criticized heavily for how he has openly flirted with other head coaching jobs and there’s a sense that he may have lost that program.
That being said, coming off a big win over their ACC Atlantic rival and then hitting the road against this lowly Louisville team, we could see Clemson come out just a bit sluggish to begin the matchup.
The offense might take a few drives to get going and the first quarter might be a little more frustrating than we’d like to see, but they’ll get it figured out before long and the final score won’t be indicative of any kind of a slow start.
Scoring Prediction: Clemson 42, Louisville 17
Projected 2021 Record: 9-0
