LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Clemson leads Louisville 10-9 at the break.

Here are some of the things we saw in the first half.

Clemson quarterback Cade Klubnik was 12 of 20 for 93 yards in the first half, while running back Adam Randall ran for 40 yards on six carries and scored the Tigers’ lone touchdown of the half. Wide receiver T.J. Moore hauled in three passes for 30 yards.

The Clemson defense held Louisville to 167 total yards. Quarterback Miller was 10 of 14 for 98 yards, while Keyquan Brown ran for 49 yards on seven carries.

Make them pay

Avieon Terrell stripped Louisville running back Duke Watson of the football at the Cardinals’ 25-yard line. Clemson made him pay on the next play, as Randall raced 25-yards up the middle for a touchdown to give the Tigers a 10-9 lead with 3:13 to play in the half.

Comedy of errors

Clemson shot themselves in the foot several times in the first half.

After taking the opening possession and moving the ball to the Louisville 7-yard line, Randall was stopped for a 3-yard loss on a direct snap. On the next play, he dropped a swing pass and Nolan Hauser kicked a 27-yard field goal.

On the Tigers’ second possession wide receiver Antonio Williams slipped on what would have been a first down. Tristan Smith later dropped a third down pass that would have been a first down. The Tigers had four first half drops, two by Smith.

Williams also made a great catch for a big gain to start the second quarter, but the play was negated due to a holding penalty.

Catching a break

Clemson caught a break in the second quarter when Klubnik’s pitch to Adam Randall was ruled an incomplete pass after a brief conversation from the officials.

The play was initially called a fumble and recovered by Louisville at the Clemson 2-yard line. The Cardinals did force a punt on three plays and got the ball at the Clemson 38 after Jack Smith shanked his punt.

Miller Moss found Chris Bell for a 37-yard gain to the Clemson 1 on the next play. One second-and-goal, Moss snuck in for the game’s first touchdown with 8:47 to play in the second quarter.

Injuries

A lot of players were banged up in the first half. Clemson running back Adam Randall suffered what looked like a stinger in the third play of the game. He did return.

Tigers wideout T.J. Moore also suffered a shoulder stinger and he returned as well. Tink Kelley also went into the tent and came back out with his helmet.

Clemson defensive tackle Vic Burley suffered a knee injury in the second quarter. He was holding the back of his left knee.

Louisville safety D’Angelo Hutchinson also suffered a shoulder injury and returned to the game.

Cardinals wide receiver Calullin Lacey went down with an injury just before halftime after taking a vicious hit from Clemson linebacker Jeremiah Alexander.
