Louisville Football: Q&A with “Rubbing the Rock” (FanSided’s Clemson Blog)
By Derek Snyder
We had the opportunity to connect with “Rubbing the Rock” and ask them five questions about the upcoming game between Louisville football and Clemson.
Gameday is getting closer and closer and Louisville football has put themselves in a position to take sole position of the ACC with a win in Clemson on Saturday. It might be their toughest task of the 2016 season, but it is definitely a game that they will be prepared to win.
For some programs, this is a once-in-a-lifetime game, but for Louisville, I believe this is the start of a regular pattern of events.
Clemson and Louisville have been playing close game for a few years now and Louisville is looking to finally take the next step this season. If they can do that, it will be largely due to star sophomore quarterback Lamar Jackson.
Jackson has caught the college football world by fire, as he leads the entire nation in total points scored by one player. He has dominated every opponent so far and is the clear leader in the Heisman Trophy race. The bad news for Louisville is that Clemson has their own Heisman contender in quarterback Deshaun Watson.
Watson hasn’t gotten off to the start that Jackson has, but he is capable of putting together a great performance on Saturday. He isn’t going to be intimidated by the stage, as he led the Tigers to an ACC Championship and the National Championship game last season. Watson has the experience and skill to lead the Tigers to victory.
We had the great privilege of connecting with Andrew Boardwine, the Site-Expert of “Rubbing the Rock”, which is FanSided’s very successful Clemson blog. He was nice enough to take time out of his schedule and answer a few questions we had for him about this Saturday’s primetime game.
