  D.J. Uiagalelei picked a good night to have his best game of the season on Saturday, and Clemson's sophomore quarterback wasn't going to let a knee injury ruin it – or the Tigers' chances for a victory. Uiagalelei's 8-yard touchdown run with 4:12 left in the game propelled the Tigers to a 30-24 victory over Louisville. The sophomore quarterback also completed 18 of 30 passes for a season-high 220 yards and two scores in what was a war of attrition between the two schools. Both starting quarterbacks missed time during the game due to injuries.

Uiagalelei apparently sprained a posterior cruciate ligament in his right knee that forced him to miss time in the second quarter. But he returned for the Tigers final series of the first half, which ended with an 8-yard touchdown pass to Davis Allen and tied the game at 17. Injuries also struck Will Shipley and Kobe Pace, who entered the game as the top two rushers for the Tigers (6-3. 5-2 Atlantic Coast Conference). Pace left in the first quarter after entering the concussion protocol, while Shipley eventually returned. Clemson also overcame a goal-line stand by Louisville's defense in the third quarter. However, the Tigers took the lead for the first time - and for good - on a nine-play, 57-yard drive midway through the fourth quarter. As the team is positioning for a strong end to a season that won't end with a customary spot in the College Football Playoff, Uiagalelei said Saturday was a great way to start the final month of the regular season. "We're hitting our stride right now," he said. "We're almost there." - Clemson/AP College Football
