UL missed two field goals or else taters lost the game. My question, we’ve played a much tougher schedule. Can we beat them as bad as we are? Yes, I still think we can. Our defense isn’t great but can keep us in the game. Big Question, what our offense can do against them? I’m not sure, but this week will give us a look. I don’t know, but Clemson hasn’t played the schedule we have.

Louisville missed 3 kicks and also had 6 penalties in the 4th qtr alone.Also Louisville Qb took terrible sack in 4th that took Louisville out if fg range.Absolute disaster of end game for Louisville.

Clemson will continue to get better and we will get their best shot. Can we score 25+ to beat them? I doubt it

Saw the final 7 minutes. Both teams hated the thought of winning, Louisville ultimately hated it more.

Schedule doesn’t matter. Gamecocks been playing a more difficult schedule since 1992. They have been a version of last night’s Louisville plenty of times. They can beat Clemson no doubt, I’m skeptical they will.

Say what y'all want, but unless we look like a completely different team, offensively, that school upstate is gonna come into Columbia & stomp us. Something like a 34-10 final. Better take off those garnet shaded glasses.

Someone put it so eloquently "they've always had a lucky horseshoe up their arse". The missed extra point by Louisville was a perfect example. I knew that would be Louisville's ultimate demise.

Missed extra points are always a bad omen of things to come

I got to watch a good portion of that game. What struck me was how rarely they ran their qb. He's battling an injury.

What would make me worried is them sitting him against Furman and him coming into our game mobile. Because their offense would open up a lot. And I'm not sure we can score enough to keep up.

Zero chance they score 25. Scored 14 last year, 13 two years ago. In that particular matchup- I'd say they score about 10.

They absolutely refused to win that game despite Clemson trying to give it to them. Don’t know how good of a coach Brohm is but 5 unsportsmanlike penalties? One with less than 2 mins. resulting in a 50 yd. failed FG attempt? That was pathetic.

They're not gonna sit him on senior day.

As soon as they missed that extra point, I knew Clemson would win by one point.
I see a good bit of FCS ball and have seen this scenario played out multiple times.

Plus, consider the Notre Dame/A&M game earlier this year when the holder dropped the snap on ND's last PAT attempt and that one point became the margin of defeat.
