First Quarter


Both teams started cautiously in the first quarter with each managing to put up only 3 points on the board. The Tigers' kicker Nolan Hauser successfully converted a field goal from long range to match the Cardinals' early scoring efforts.


Second Quarter


The second quarter saw some dynamic plays from both sides. The Tigers managed to break through with Adam Randall's impressive rushing touchdown which gave them an edge over their opponents. However, despite their best efforts, they conceded two field goals to the Cards before halftime.


Third Quarter


In this period, momentum swung towards Louisville as they scored a touchdown and added another field goal to take control of the game. Clemson's defense was tested but managed to limit further damage by forcing crucial stops when needed.


Fourth Quarter


The final quarter proved decisive for Clemson as they rallied back into contention. A pivotal moment came when Sammy Brown executed an essential sack that disrupted Louisville's offensive rhythm. This defensive play set up another successful drive for Randall who rushed into the end zone once more securing victory for his team.


Clemson’s defense played an instrumental role throughout; Avieon Terrell notably forced and recovered a fumble that shifted momentum back in favor of his team during critical moments of play.


Looking ahead, fans can catch their next game against Furman Paladins on November 22nd at Memorial Stadium in Clemson SC scheduled for broadcast on The CW at 4:30 PM EST. Share this article with fellow fans!
