It doesn't take a genius to see what won the game...

#1 Clemson D - played great 90% of the time last night and the goal line stand to win was epic
#2 - Special teams - this was the best special teams performance in a long while...They put points on the board and came to play
#3 The crowd - this has to be one of the top crowd noise games I can remember. They came through at crucial times during the game to disrupt Louisville and played a big role in the last 30 seconds...the noise was deafening at that point

Going forward...Out of the next 3 games, I wouldn't be surprised if we lose at BC but beat Cuse and Wake. Going into the final 3 games (presumably with Watson back) the season is going to hang in the balance between a 3 and 4 loss year, I am guessing.
We will see a much different offense from our Tigers next week. I think a having time to prepare with a hopefully healthy Cole will be the difference. BC runs the ball well....but they haven't faced a defense like ours and their defense is not Louisville's.
Good points you make! With my take on it, I think...

I am giving some credibility to:
- A long road trip to a stadium that has been unkind to us at times - An emotional let down after the slugfest this weekend - The OL not being as consistent as we need and Cole needing time to adjust to being starter again
I could be giving too much credibility though to those points and, of course, if our special teams and defense come to play like they did this weekend, we could very well walk out of their with a W
