Louisville Football: Q&A with “Rubbing the Rock” (FanSided’s Clemson Blog)
By Derek Snyder
Other than Lamar Jackson, who is the one player that worries Clemson fans the most from the Cardinals?
"“To me, the one player that should worry Clemson football fans more than anyone is Brandon Radcliff. He is averaging over nine yards per carry and, in my opinion, is quietly on pace to become a first-team All-ACC guy. No one, at least around these parts, are talking about Radcliff, but that read-option game with Lamar Jackson is scary. He is explosive and physical. Clemson usually bodes well against powerful run games, but this is unlike anything else Clemson has seen in quite some time.”"
Andrew is right on track here. Brandon Radcliff doesn’t get near the amount of attention that he deserves. He is easily Louisville’s best running back and more than likely one of the best overall backs in the entire ACC.
Radcliff and Jackson have the read-option down to a science and that tearing apart opposing defenses. I expect that Clemson has been studying all week, but all that goes out the window whenever Louisville hits the field on Saturday.
