CLEMSON – Las Vegas bet against Clemson. Saturday night they lost.

The bookies and bettors underestimated Death Valley, Brent Venables and the Tigers’ defense as No. 5 Clemson upset No. 3 Louisville 42-36 Saturday night in Memorial Stadium.

While Clemson’s defensive coordinator wasn’t thrilled with the way he coached, he couldn’t be happier with the way his defense performed down the stretch in sealing the victory despite giving up 568 total yards.

“Five hundred yards sucked, alright. I thought the first half, we really felt good about where we were at,” Venables said after the game.
