The Clemson Tigers picked up a massive road win on Friday night against No. 20 Louisville, knocking off their conference foes by a final score of 20-19 under the lights in the Bluegrass state.
Clemson pulled out the gutsy win despite being out-gained on the ground and through the air, making some massive plays late to knock off the Cards and keep their bowl game hopes alive.
Tigers head coach Dabo Swinney had a ton of praise for his team following the win, saying that they have “the heart of a champion,” and that there is no quit in them, or him.
“The tougher it’s gotten, the closer they’ve gotten, the stronger they’ve gotten, and the more they’ve dug in,” Swinney said. “That’s the freakin’ heart of a champion right there. The record don’t define you… A lot of people have quit on ’em! Ain’t no quit in that bunch! And there ain’t no quit in me! Go Tigers!”
Clemson has certainly faced a ton of adversity over the course of this season, currently battling for bowl eligibility after entering the year with national championship aspirations.
Despite all the setbacks, though, they found a way to rise to the occasion against Louisville, and they are still in play for their 15th straight winning season.
