Clemson held Louisville to 19 points, the Cardinals’ lowest output since the 2023 ACC Championship Game (six). It broke Louisville’s 23-game streak with 24 or more points, which was the longest streak in ACC history according to ESPN.

Running back Adam Randall rushed 15 times for 105 yards with a career-high-tying two touchdowns. Randall also added three receptions for 27 yards for a total of 132 yards from scrimmage.

Randall recorded his third 100-yard rushing game of the season and of his career. Clemson improved to 71-6 when having a 100-yard rusher since 2011.

Randall recorded his seventh rushing touchdown of the season on a 25-yard scoring run in the second quarter.

The 25-yard rush represented Randall’s longest touchdown run of the season. 

Randall gave Clemson the lead in the fourth quarter with a one-yard plunge on fourth-and-1.

Clemson has now scored at least one rushing touchdown in a national-best 94 of its 106 games since the start of the 2018 season. Clemson has also scored multiple rushing touchdowns in 76 games in that span, also the nation’s best.

Randall recorded a career-long 46-yard run in the fourth quarter.

Quarterback Cade Klubnik completed 22-of-34 passes for 187 yards with no interceptions.

Klubnik (24-13) tied Nealon Greene (24-16) for the sixth-most career wins by a Clemson starting quarterback since World War II. 

Klubnik engineered his fourth career fourth-quarter comeback win, becoming the first Clemson quarterback to collect at least four career fourth-quarter comeback victories since Charlie Whitehurst.

Clemson has now played four consecutive games without throwing an interception for the first time since the middle of the 2023 season.

Wide receiver Antonio Williams recorded a team-high seven receptions for 52 yards.

Williams became the first Clemson player to catch six or more passes in five consecutive games since Amari Rodgers' seven-game streak in 2020.

Wide receiver T.J. Moore led Clemson with 68 receiving yards on six receptions.

Cornerback Avieon Terrell recorded Clemson’s lone takeaway, forcing and recovering a Louisville fumble in the second quarter. Clemson would score on a 25-yard touchdown run on the following play.

With his seventh career forced fumble, Terrell took sole possession of the Clemson record for career forced fumbles by a defensive back.

Terrell tied Levon Kirkland (seven from 1988-91), Keith Adams (seven from 1998-2000) and Vic Beasley (seven from 2011-14) for the seventh-most forced fumbles in a career in Clemson history. 

Terrell’s four forced fumbles this year are a new single-season career high and are the most by a Clemson defensive back in a single season since at least 1978. 

Terrell’s fumble recovery was his first of the season and the third of his career.

Linebacker Sammy Brown recorded his fourth sack of the season in the fourth quarter.

Brown has now recorded a sack in back-to-back games for the first time in his career.

Kicker Nolan Hauser went 2-for-2 on field goals and 2-for-2 on PATs.

Hauser (10) has now posted Clemson’s first double-digit streak of consecutive made field goals since B.T. Potter's 13-attempt streak in 2021.

Hauser opened the scoring with a 27-yard field goal. The field goal completed a 12-play, 65-yard drive lasting 6:22.

Hauser added a 48-yard field goal on Clemson’s opening possession of the second half.

Punter Jack Smith placed a career-high four of his five punts inside the 20.

Offensive lineman Blake Miller started his 51st consecutive game to extend his school record for consecutive starts by a non-specialist. Miller has started all 51 games played by Clemson since his arrival as a true freshman in 2022. 

Offensive lineman Walker Parks played his 62nd career game to pass defensive end Xavier Thomas (61 from 2018-23) for sole possession of the seventh-most games played in Clemson history.

Safety Tyler Venables played his 60th career game, becoming the 12th player in Clemson history to appear in 60 career games.
