Louisville's football team suffered a devastating 20-19 loss to Clemson due to critical missed kicks by their special teams. The Cardinals had an opportunity to secure a win and boost their ACC championship hopes, but a missed extra point and two missed field goals proved costly.
Early in the second quarter, a missed extra point following a touchdown put Louisville at a disadvantage. Later, with a 19-13 lead, they were unable to extend it further due to another missed field goal.
Clemson capitalized on these mistakes, scoring a touchdown to take a 20-19 lead in the fourth quarter. Louisville had one final chance to win the game with a 46-yard field goal, but the attempt by kicker Nick Keller fell short.
This loss, following a previous upset, significantly impacts Louisville's chances for the ACC championship and potentially the College Football Playoff. Fans are questioning the decision to bench their more reliable kicker, Cooper Ranvier, for the crucial attempts.
