It would not be a Louisville-Clemson game if the game did not come down to a last-second defensive stop by the Tigers’ defense.
Facing fourth-and-12 from the Clemson 15 with 40 seconds left in the game, Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson found Mike Quick open in the flats, made a move towards the first-down marker, but Marcus Edmonds found a way to make a better play, pushing the Cardinals’ wide receiver out of bounds a yard short of the sticks.
The heads up play by Edmonds saved the game for the No. 3 Tigers, who somehow found a way to beat the fourth-ranked Cardinals, 42-36, Saturday in Death Valley, despite five turnovers and 457 total yards.
