No. 5 Clemson (4-0, 1-0) and No. 3 Louisville (4-0, 2-0) face off in one of the most highly anticipated matchups of the season as it could decide who goes to the ACC Championship game and therefore the College Football Playoffs. It's a battle of two great quarterbacks in UL sophomore Lamar Jackson and Clemson junior Deshaun Watson.

RELATED: Lamar Jackson should be the Heisman favorite and it isn't close
Jackson has had plenty of electrifying plays this season and even a couple involving a good hurdle over defensive players. We can't forget about the defensive guys in this game though as the outcome of this game will likely come down to whoever can get the first stop. That brings us this comment from Clemson safety Jadar Johnson who will not be the next hurdle victim.
Jadar Johnson is asked about Lamar Jackson and says "That's who, No. 8?" Asked what he'd do if Jackson tries to hurdle him: "Body slam him."

Johnson added some trash talk for good measure and said the Tigers won't really need to change their game plans for Jackson.
Clemson S Jadar Johnson on Lamar Jackson "I don’t really feel like we have to step out of our element or jump up another notch to stop him."

The last four teams that failed to "jump up another notch" or properly plan for Jackson have gotten destroyed so maybe that wasn't the best way to go about preparing for Louisville this week.
