CLEMSON - So many funky things can happen in the transfer portal era. One of those is playing a quarterback in his seventh season and on his third college team.
That will be the case for graduate safety R.J. Mickens and Clemson when they face Louisville this coming Saturday (7:30 p.m. / ESPN).
Mickens and the Tigers will be facing Cardinals redshirt senior quarterback Tyler Shough. Shough spent his first three seasons with the Oregon Ducks before transferring to Texas Tech for another three seasons. Now, he is in his first year with Louisville. Clemson has never played against Shough, but Mickens does have one previous encounter with him.
