“The Crowd” projects a final score of Louisville 38.1 – Clemson 27.2 with an over/under of 65.3.
2016-17 Statistics (127 total teams):
Louisville is (4-0) with wins over Charlotte, Syracuse, Florida State, and Marshall. Clemson is (4-0) with wins over Auburn, Troy, South Carolina, and Georgia Tech.
Passing offense: Louisville 363.8 YPG > Clemson 293.0 YPG
Rushing offense: Louisville 318.3 YPG > Clemson 159.5 YPG
Scoring offense: Louisville 63.5 PPG > Clemson 33.5 PPG
Scoring defense: Clemson 11.0 PPG > Louisville 22.5 PPG
Passing defense: Clemson 125.8 YPG > Louisville 156.3 YPG
Rushing defense: Clemson 92.8 YPG > Louisville 122.0 YPG
Turnover Margin Per Game: Clemson +0.3 > Louisville -0.8
Summary:
Louisville comes into the game leading the nation in points per game (63.5) but face a Clemson defense that ranks in the top five in fewest points allowed (11.0). Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson has to be the frontrunner for the Heisman Trophy early in the season. Louisville has scored 59 or more points in every game this season including a blowout of ACC rival Florida State.
Clemson’s offense has been slow out of the gates this year after looking like the most prolific unit in college football for much of last season. Clemson is rushing for significantly fewer yards than a year ago which makes their passing game much less efficient. Everyone talks about the Louisville offense but their defense has been a solid unit this year as well. This game will probably end up a shoot-out and that favors Louisville at home.
