The bye week came at a great time. Clemson's first big test since week one against Georgia is coming to Death Valley this Saturday, so letting the team rest and heal the week before was just what the doctor ordered.

Louisville's record is 5-3, and its chances of making the ACC Championship are all but finished, but the Cardinals have one of the hardest schedules in the conference. They can be dangerous. While their ACC hopes are gone, it's not too late to ruin it for another team.

Thanks to the bye week, Clemson will be almost completely healthy going into Saturday's game. In fact, only one small detail has changed since last week's depth chart. Phil Mafah is no longer the starting kickoff returning, with Jay Haynes taking the leading role. Clemson kickoff against Louisville on Nov. 2 at 7:30 p.m. ET.
