Petrino clarifies his comments on Death Valley

---

Louisville head coach Bobby Petrino said earlier in the week that Clemson's Death Valley will be similar in crowd noise than last week at Syracuse's Carrier Dome.

Petrino said that following about Clemson's Death Valley: "And to be honest with you, it's going to be very similar to last week," Petrino said. "That was a loud place. I don't know if it can get any louder, even though the crowd (Syracuse) wasn't that big."

On Wednesday's ACC media teleconference, Petrino tried to clarify what he meant in regards to Death Valley's crowd noise.

"I didn't really mean to compare them (Death Valley and the Carrier Dome)," he said. "When you do go on the road, it's really loud."

"It's just something you have to work hard at and communicating," Petrino said. We'll have the noise going in practice and make it loud. We have to communicate and keep our poise. We know it's going to be a real loud, hostile environment. We have to keep our focus on the field. "This is one of the things that's exciting about being in the ACC -- the venues we get to go play at," Petrino said. "This is our first real experience in that."
