Clemson Football

Coming off their second bye week of the season, the No. 11 Clemson Tigers (6-1, 5-0 ACC) prepare for one of the biggest challenges of their season when they host Louisville on Saturday night.  The Cardinals (5-3, 3-2 ACC) three losses have all been by a touchdown (to three teams with a combined record of 22-2), and they’re one of five ACC teams in the top 20 nationally in scoring offense.  Swinney said the Cardinals are the best and most complete offense Clemson has faced since their season-opening game against Georgia.  The Tigers and Cardinals kick off Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. on ESPN. Saturday’s game will be the last for Clemson before the initial College Football Playoff rankings — the first of the 12-team playoff era — are unveiled next Tuesday, Nov. 5.
