Clemson and Louisville have played two close games the last two seasons. What do you think will be the difference in this season’s game?

"“Louisville has physically matched up with Clemson both years the two teams have played and I don’t think that will be any different this time around. The Cardinals possess a lot of NFL-caliber guys on both sides of the football and that is cause for concern if you’re a Clemson football fan. At the end of the day, I think the difference in this season’s game will be Louisville’s run game vs. Clemson’s defense. If the Cardinals are able to get big yards on the ground, then the Tigers will not be able to get off the field and get the ball to Deshaun Watson."

I agree with Andrew here. The goal for both defenses should obviously be to keep the other quarterback off of the football field. These two quarterbacks will both want the football in this monumental game and it might come down to whoever has the football last.

If Lamar Jackson and Brandon Radcliff could get going against the Clemson defense, then that could very well equal a victory for the Cardinals.
