Notre Dame DB Jordan Clark explains why he was called for a personal foul

Clark offered some clarity on the situation

It wasn’t a great look for Notre Dame football cornerback [autotag]Jordan Clark[/autotag] when he was called for an unsportsmanlike penalty for head butting a Louisville wide receiver during the 31-24 Irish victory.

At the time, it looked like a huge mental error with no justification for his actions. However, Clark went to social media and explained the what led to it, saying that “If you were brought up to let someone spit in your face, and not do anything I get it. Not me though, be easy.”

Now we have some clarity on the situation, as what [autotag]Chris Bell[/autotag] did was inexcusable. Football is a physical game, but there is no place in the sport for spitting on an opponent.

After finding out what really happened from Clark, you can pretty much disregard his actions. While it would have been nice to see him take the high-road, emotions run high in games like these, and it might have gotten the best of him in that moment.
