WATCH: Clemson players on thrilling win over Louisville |
Postgame Clemson Player Quotes
DeShawn Williams, DT On Louisville win: “It was an old school slug match and we knew that going into the week. I told the Louisville players on the field it was going to be an old-school game. Defense played lights out tonight. We gave up one touchdown, but we played lights out.” On final drive: “We’re built for stuff like that. We’ve been through so much, we were ready for that. We led the team as a defense the whole game, so why not finish it? When he threw the ball, I knew he threw it to me, so I just put my hands up and batted it down. It was a great team effort.” Cole Stoudt, QB On playing for the injured Deshaun Watson: “It’s something that I have done before. It’s something I’ve prepared for and I was ready throughout meetings and practice and I was ready for my situation.” On injured shoulder: “It hurt pretty bad, but I didn’t want to come out, so I just fought through it. I didn’t want to miss an opportunity, so I just stayed out there with the guys and it wasn’t pretty, but we found a way to win.” Ben Boulware, LB On getting the start at linebacker: “I was prepared, but I didn’t know for sure. I know Tony (Steward) was on the edge and I think he could have played if he had to, but the coaching staff didn’t want to risk it. I really knew on Thursday, and thank God my opportunity is here.” On four tackles for loss: “I’m just happy because I’ve worked my butt of for years, and to finally get the opportunity to show people I can play, I’m just happy it’s finally paying off.”
