Second-ranked Clemson jumped all over a struggling Louisville team at Death Valley in Saturday’s 77-16 win. The 61-point margin of victory topped the previous school record of 60 over an ACC opponent, which it set last month at Wake Forest.
Offensively, the Tigers (9-0, 6-0 ACC) were virtually unstoppable with 661 yards of total offense, including 492 yards on the ground, as three running backs gained over 100 yards for the second time this season.
Clemson netted 11.6 yards per play the highest mark in school history, besting the 1903 Tigers who gained 11.2 yards per play in a 73-0 win under the legendary John Heisman.
