The Tigers and Cardinals will square off for the sixth time on Saturday. Before Louisville joined the ACC, the two programs had never faced off. So far, Clemson has been perfect against the Cards, going 5-0.
Louisville is led by first year head coach Scott Satterfield, who was hired away from App State to come in clean up the colossal mess Bobby Petrino left behind. Through six games, the Cardinals are sitting at 4-2, already winning more games that most thought they would all season.
Clemson opened as a 22.5 point road favorite, but this Louisville team plays hard. The Tigers will need to come in ready to play. Unlike last years Cardinals, this team doesn’t quit. Here we will take a look at each team statistics so far in 2019.
