CLEMSON— There are losses, and then there are games when you get beat in all three phases. Clemson was beaten by Louisville in all three phases of the game in its 33-21 loss.
The Tigers had 450 total yards but only put up seven points in the first three quarters of the game, while the Cardinals scored in every quarter, had a 150-yard rusher, and blocked two field goal attempts.
“We just didn’t show up ready to play,” Clemson graduate safety R.J. Mickens said. “I feel like we just didn’t take advantage of the momentum that we had and we didn’t play complementary football.
