CLEMSON, S.C. – The Louisville football program is no longer winless against Clemson. The Cardinals traveled to a primetime matchup against No. 11 Tigers to Death Valley and finally defeated them, leaving Memorial Stadium with a 33-21 win.

“Really proud of our football team,” head coach Jeff Brohm said after the game. “I think our players, our coaches worked hard all week. We had to overcome some adversity along the way. It wasn’t perfect, it wasn’t easy, but we keep working.”

“A lot of new guys stepped up and played hard. Going out there in that environment, against a really good team that was hot, and just playing hard the whole game. We had to make plays. We played at a great pace.” We were very strong defensively, simply much better, so very proud of our team.

Louisville held Clemson to just 4.5 yards per play and allowed just one touchdown on the Tigers’ first nine drives of the game. Additionally, the Cardinals blocked two field goals, kicker Brock Travelstead made three field goals, while running back Isaac Brown rushed for 151 yards and a touchdown.

Here’s what Brohm, defensive end Ashton Gillotte, quarterback Tyler Shough and cornerback Quincy Riley had to say after the win:
