CLEMSON — Late Saturday night, the ACC announced kickoff times for this coming weekend’s games, including Clemson at Louisville.

The Tigers will face Louisville at 7:30 p.m., the league announced. The game will be televised by the ACC Network.

Clemson remains in the hunt for the ACC title after beating Florida State 30-20 on Saturday behind a strong defensive performance and outstanding effort by Will Shipley, but the Tigers need some help.

“I’m just proud of our guys and proud of our team. They’ve battled all year,” Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said. “Thirteen years at Alabama and 19 years at Clemson, I’d probably put that in the top-5 all-time wins that I’ve been a part of. It was special.”

Clemson is 5-2 (4-2) heading to Louisville. Wake Forest is 5-0 in the ACC, while NC State is 3-1 in the league. The Wolfpack hold the tiebreaker over Clemson.

Louisville enters Saturday’s game 3-5 (2-3) after falling on the road 28-13 Saturday night at NC State.

Clemson has won all six of its meetings all-time against Louisville, including a 45-10 victory over the Cardinals two seasons ago.

The best game in the series came in 2016 when Deshaun Watson and Clemson topped Lamar Jackson and Louisville 42-36. However, the Tigers have dominated the past three meetings, winning by at least 26 points.
