Gut Check: Tigers flex late muscle in thriller over Cards

CLEMSON – One yard short after Clemson was left for dead.

Louisville’s James Quick was knocked out of bounds one yard short of a first down on fourth down inside the Clemson five-yard line with just over thirty seconds to play, and No. 5 Clemson overcame a 36-28 deficit in the last six minutes in defeating No. 3 Louisville 42-36 in front of 83,362 screaming fans in Death Valley Saturday night.

Clemson had scored the go-ahead touchdown with just over three minutes to play, but Louisville marched down the field in emphatic fashion and had it 4th-and-12 at the Clemson 14 with 37 seconds to play.
