@Aladdin...yep, a huge character building gut check moment after falling behind a score with a few minutes left. People dismiss Ian Book because he doesn’t fill up a stat sheet, but the dude wins football games with limited mistakes (fumbling inside the 5yd line notwithstanding lol)
Watching this game, as a ND fan, I never allowed myself to believe that we could do it. All night I was waiting for the hammer to fall. Going into the 4th quarter I was already proud of this team. It was a win already, to me. I understand Clemson was without key players. In the end, as a player, all you can do is play against who’s in front of you. It’s been soooo long since ND played like this. All I want, as a fan, is for my team to never stop fighting, adjust to the other teams adjustments, and leave everything out on the field. ND did this absolutely and thoroughly last night. So proud and I’m so happy that I was DEAD wrong about the outcome of this game. Much ❤️ Much ✊
@@paulnesbit116 Same in my house. And I felt SO bad for Book. And was so happy when he got sweet redemption. Obviously it was a complete team effort, but Book was a true leader, tough as nails and never said "die".
@Daniel...you were not alone my friend and for good reason, by looking at history of cow patties they’ve laid in the big time matchups the last 10 years. Very few have they won and none close to this magnitude. It’s too bad Clemson don’t play North Carolina this year to test them again to see how truly good they are. ND will though, in their joint and on a Friday night no less. Go Irish.
@MrTron - Yes, sir. The physicality of ND vs a motivated Clemson who has unbelievable talent throughout the depth chart. If it happens it’ll be a playoff-like atmosphere. Here’s one more thing to consider: If ND wins out (11-0) and Clemson wins out the ACC Championship game is a definite elimination game for Clemson and a possible CFP eliminator for ND. A 11-1 ND team could still statistically make the CFP with a close loss to Clemson. But if Clemson loses, no matter the score, they won’t be in the CFP with 2 losses. That motivates Clemson even more. Who wants to back a Tiger up in a corner? Not me! Go Irish ☘️
@@nif8724 - That game wasn’t a fluke, my friend. Today’s game, however, was a pathetic showing. Irish still have 2 more wins than A&M, A&M lost to Alabama by 28, Bama is throttling Florida (A&M’s only good win), and ND still has the best win in all of college football. No other team below the Irish can say that. So ND still makes the CFP tomorrow. Unless the committee puts in Cincinnati 🙄. No 2 loss team is making it in. Go Irish ☘️
As a Clemson fan, my respects to Notre Dame, as the Irish were the better and more physical team last night. They pushed the Tiger defense around on the last drive in regulation and OT, when it mattered most, and came up with great defense in the second OT. But my respects to Clemson too, playing as well as they did with all their injuries. A great game - looking forward to seeing the entire game on you tube.
We appreciate you Brian. And the rivalry that the Irish and Tigers have created. Love these games no matter the outcome. Although this outcome made it sweeter - A Very Happy Irish Fan
Hats off to you Brian. Very respectful reply and shows your love and passion for the game. We will meet again in the ACC Champ game. Appreciate your sportsmanship comment!
Clemson missing a couple players; however, I think ND left points on the field. They will now have their confidence up which should make for a great championship game. Let's hope neither team gets rolled with the Wuhan Flu.
What everyone is missing out on is the fact that the Irish had players down for this game, not just Clemson. Almost half their Wide Receivers, including a potential "game-breaker" in Braden Lenzy, were out for this game. But everyone in the media only talks about what Clemson was missing in the game, as if Clemson was the only team that mattered. As an Irish fan, who is old enough to recall how things used to be, that hurts.
ND showed the nation...they have power..a great running game, a great passing game, and a killer defense. Not to mention great special teams play. This year...they have it all!!
I set my DVR to tape 4.5 hours of the coverage and it still wasn't enough. That's why I had to find these highlights. Those replay reviews in the first overtime chewed up 15 minutes all by themselves
Truly one of the most entertaining and exciting college football games I've ever watched. Two great teams putting on a show. ND winning me $70 on a $25 bet, that was amazing.
Great point. I am so tired of message board commenters saying garbage like "a RB should never be benched because of pass protection." It is a huge part of the job, and I'm glad Williams shined a light on it.
Man…… when I watched this game for 4 hours straight start to finish it was the best game I’ve seen on tv yet why?!?, because both teams have heart to keep playing and I have so much respect for NOTRE dame and I’m a little bit of a Clemson fan because of their organization, so notre dame came to play clemsons defense yesterday was a bit bad. But notre dame deserves this win they played so hard, so congrats to notre dame for beating #1 Clemson Tigers Clemson is still in 1-4 rank

Clemson is in good hands after Trevor Lawrence goes to the NFL. That boy DJ can sling the rock. He has an absolute hose. A cannon. He'll be exciting to watch. Edit: Did not foresee Dabo not using the portal to bolster his team (should have) or the offense being this vanilla.

As an LSU fan im happy for Notre Dame. It isnt easy to beat Clemson. This QB Uiagalelea is a true prospect. EVERY bit as good as Trevor Lawrence. It feels good to slay the dragon tho! Congrats Irish, much respect.
thanks man it's been a long time since ND won a true "Big game". Used to happen all the time. Seems like it has been 20 years since ND beat a true top 5 team. I hope this is a sign that Coach Kelly has finally turned the corner. Kelly has been a great coach in every respect for us except he hadn't won a big one yet. I know you guys got great things going on down at LSU I was glad someone not named Clemson, Alabama or Ohio State finally won again last year. Also you guys got a great coach! USC Trojans really dropped the ball letting him go I'm glad we don't have to play against him every year.
I’m a die hard Alabama fan born and raised. Never really found interest in any other teams’ games. But when I watched this game I was on my feet shouting. One of the best football games I’ve ever watched. Good job ND, see you in the championship😉
Didn't miss much on the stop. Clemson had a gain of 1 yard, loss of 5 on 2nd down, gain of 5 on 3rd down, and punted on 4th down with 9 to go. Notre Dame moved it easily in the last 1:48, including 1 big pass play, to score with :22 left on the clock.
The back-to-back sacks by ogundeji and hayes in the 2nd OT were amazing. Ice in their veins. If Notre Dame runs the table this year it will come down to their defense and particularly defensive line pressure plays and coverage sacks like this
I actually like Clemson...but since I'm Irish I like Notre Dame just a teensie more...I gotta say it's GREAT to see Notre Dame back in championship form and playing excellent football on both sides of the ball !!!!
And another thing. For all of the people saying ND only won, because Lawrence was out and their Defense had injuries: Back in 2015 when Clemson beat ND in that monsoon, Notre Dame was playing with a backup QB and an absolutely decimated defense. You can't lowball ND and at the same time, not bring that up. The fact of the matter is that Notre Dame was more physical at the point of attack on both sides of the ball which won them the game.
Not to mention Clemson won that game with the literal exact same pick play that Notre Dame used that would have beat Jameis Winston’s Fla St team the year before, but was called illegal. Funny, the ACC didn’t think it was illegal when Clemson used it against ND. The refs even tried to screw ND again in this game when they picked up the obvious interference call with 2 min left at Dabo’s behest. As usual ND has to beat not only their opponent but the refs as well. Makes this win even sweeter.
Great win for ND. 40 and 6 the last 4 seasons... and finally a top 5 win! #1 no less... ND is legit as it gets. National Championship is all that's left to do.
This was a big win for the program and yes it did feel similar to the 1993 Florida State game when Notre Dame played them and beat them naughty just got to stay the course of the rest of the season and who knows what could happen it could be as special yeah but we'll see but that's a big word for the program which was long overdue
This game was a neck-to-neck duke it out all the way of two heavyweights. That incredible 51 yd Ian Book pass to #3 Avery Davies was what kept ND afloat with 1 min left. When #3 outran his opponent's defensive backs to be in the clear to receive Ian's jettisoned ball was like a heaven sent rescue. That was the moment ND got out of its eggshell past of sickening bruising losses to big name clubs, and come out victorious on its own in front of the nation.
Everyone expected ND to get waxed and be the same old ND. I had a feeling they'd be able to win, but I honestly thought the game was over when Clemson went up 33-26, but my oh my Ian Book said "Not Tonight". ND was spectacular. I'm an OSU fan and if they played that game would be a heavyweight fight. ND would probably win. They are just that good.
This will always be my favorite college football game I will watch and the greatest college football game I will ever watch. It was epic watching it as a nd fan
@@AlwaysHalloween000 you guys struggled against boston college just sit down and you also have the number 1 backup qb in the nation remember?....well you still lost to a real team!
@@theg.ro.e.fmainchannel7100 he’s been really good. He’s been able to make top 5 teams with only a top 15 recruitment class each year. I’d call that pretty good
@@markmichalko3913 yes ND had 1:54 with 2 timeouts and Book threw a bomb to the about the 8 with 40 seconds then the scored with 20 seconds and Clemson kneeled the ND WON IN OT GO IRISH BABY!!
All credit to the Notre Dame Irish......It's easy to see what happened here.......Notre Dame held the best RB in the country Travis Etienne to 38yds on 18 carries.....The Irish defense is elite this season, and played lights out....Notre Dame is a complete team and has some swagger to them. The ND OL dominated our DL PERIOD....We couldn't open any holes to free up Travis Etienne. You can't give free TDs to Notre Dame on a silver platter by fumbling the ball 3times......WE will be fine and bounce back, trust me. I just hope and pray we play them again in Charlotte with the 5 starters that are out...... Congrats Notre Dame, you played fundamental and disciplined football, and we were not clean at all. GO TIGERS!!!!.........I hope we both get in the playoffs....2 ACC teams would be great and how great would it be if the IRISH joined the ACC permenatly.....We could have these type games every season!!!!! GO TIGERS!!!!
Defense needs fixing. Cause even last years playoff allowed 500+ yards in both games. I hope Venables can coach them up into championship defense soon.
Tom Rees deserves a lot of credit. He's called all the plays for two seasons and has done a tremendous job. The guy is only 22 years old and has moved his way up all the way to offensive coordinator in 3 years. I think he's something very special. He will be head coach somewhere eventually.
The refs completely made themselves the center of attention in this game. That crew had better not be around for the rematch! That one time they picked up the Pass Interference Flag, because Dabo Swinney shrieked in their ears about it, was one of the most blatant examples of referees "playing favorites" in a game, that I have ever seen! Notre Dame didn't just beat eleven Clemson players on the field. They also beat about six additional human beings, wearing striped shirts, who were trying so desperately hard to preserve Clemson's undefeated record, to make the ACC look better, I'm surprised they didn't try to give Clemson a FIFTH DOWN, in second overtime, to try and score.
@@shindari 100% agree. that PI call was BLATANT and later they made a call for PI against ND that was less deserving. I think honestly they spent so much time reviewing because they didn't want to be accused of deciding the winner after they messed up in the 4th quarter.
I don't care what anyone says, with or without the great Trevor Lawrence, Notre Dame still wins this game. They played Clemson's best QB Saturday night. All I have to say is, *GO IRISH* !!! Welcome back among the elite!!
@@austinburton4123 you guys are Clemson. Better coach and better roster. You get all the top recruits and win nearly every game every year😂your argument is invalid
So funny looking back now that Clemson would annihilate Notre Dame in the ACC Championship game the following month. I guess Trevor Lawrence really was the difference in this game. This game is still a classic in Notre Dame football though.
What a stupid comment! Over the last half dozen years Clemson has played every major college team. Some two or three times. Look and see what the outcome has been. Been in the NC game how many times? Truly ignorant!
@@dcburg I think he means this season you have to take into the fact that the only other ranked tean they've played is miami FL. You have take into the fact both teams played well but one team played better. Look at Clemson's defence it wasn't as good as it was 2 games ago. There are things as a team they need to improve on but other than that both teams are amazing. What I'm saying is it's not a stupid comment but you made a stupid reply just becuase Clemson has beat other major teams doesn't determain how they'll play next week or next year the past IS the past.
I am sooo happy that ND finally beat a great team. I remember the win vs Fla st. In 1993. It feels the same. Problem is I also remember the next game against BC. The same team they will face next week. Maaan I hope its not the same script.
@@theg.ro.e.fmainchannel7100 Like it or not Will is right. Clemson is already playing a lot of freshmen and sophomores. Realistically, and I know your kind won't admit it, at that age they are not as mature mentally or physically as the seniors and grad students that ND lined up. Even if we don't make the playoffs we will be equipped next year to be right back. Will ND?
@@dcburg U are stupid, Idc that they are sophomores I would rather have a 5 star sophomore then a 3 star senior, ND just played better but you Clemson Bandwagons won't admit it
Notre Dame doesn't get too many Top 10 recruiting classes, yet, they have some fast players, their players are as fast as the Clemson players are?? How is that? Good Trainer and good coaching? My Michigan team gets better recruiting classes then Notre Dame does, yet, Michigan players are not that fast or aggressive either.
@@ericsigersmith6067 I feel like Clemson would’ve won with Lawrence. Raw talent isn’t everything. Lawrence has way more experience than DJ. DJ missed a few key reads last night that would’ve secured the win. T Law wouldn’t miss all of those
They deserve Top 4 even if Lawrence was playing and lost. Clemson is at the elite level where if they lose a Double OT road game against a top 5/10 team there is no reason they should drop far in the rankings.

The refs even tried to screw ND again in this game when they picked up the obvious interference call with 2 min left at Dabo’s behest. As usual ND has to beat not only their opponent but the refs as well. Makes this win even sweeter.
watched as much as I could , but seeing the highlights , I am glad to say that Clemson put up a fight but LOST anyway, way to go Irish.
clemson lost, but still shut up all doubters.
i hope they still have a chance to make the playoffs.
Guess who LOST today??? LMFAO
Great win for ND. 40 and 6 the last 4 seasons... and finally a top 5 win! #1 no less... ND is legit as it gets. National Championship is all that's left to do.
'Bama will be waiting again.
@@marktastic86 Can't wait!
Clemson will kill ND at full strength. Bama would beat this team by 50
@@marktastic86 But we haven't yet seen the last of Clemson...
@@ed379 Rematch in ACC title game will be a good one, if both teams manage not to lose again.
I’m a notre dame fan. Stayed up until 5am to watch the entire game. It was worth it in the end. Go Irish! 💪🏼☘️
Time to stop disrespecting Notre Dame.
🤣🤣🤣
@Jack Van Berg Aren't they doing that this year?
Nah they are garbage
@@donaldduck5037 Guess Clemson got beat by garbage then 🤣
@@donaldduck5037 They're playing an all-ACC schedule and are even eligible for the conference title game.
Notre Dame / Alabama fan here. This was the best game I’ve seen in a long while.
U can’t like two teams every notre dame fan hates Alabama
@@AdolfHitler-if6ox Not every Notre Dame fan obviously 😁. You can be a fan of both until they play each other anyways.
What a game. Go Irish!
I'm a auburn fan but congrats
go irish
@jim spurlock BC is a decent team this yr with an ex ND qb starting for them.
@jim spurlock we’ll see I guess
This was a big win for the program and yes it did feel similar to the 1993 Florida State game when Notre Dame played them and beat them naughty just got to stay the course of the rest of the season and who knows what could happen it could be as special yeah but we'll see but that's a big word for the program which was long overdue
This game was a neck-to-neck duke it out all the way of two heavyweights. That incredible 51 yd Ian Book pass to #3 Avery Davies was what kept ND afloat with 1 min left. When #3 outran his opponent's defensive backs to be in the clear to receive Ian's jettisoned ball was like a heaven sent rescue. That was the moment ND got out of its eggshell past of sickening bruising losses to big name clubs, and come out victorious on its own in front of the nation.
Notre Dame is just such a great college! If you want good education and great sports thats the college for you.
Heck yea RALLY
ice all winter
@Theodore Pohlen 🤡
Georgetown is better. Notre Dame is too ultra right wing.
@@gaddiemediaguy what are you talking about?
Everyone expected ND to get waxed and be the same old ND. I had a feeling they'd be able to win, but I honestly thought the game was over when Clemson went up 33-26, but my oh my Ian Book said "Not Tonight". ND was spectacular. I'm an OSU fan and if they played that game would be a heavyweight fight. ND would probably win. They are just that good.
Great game, the constant official reviews were awful.
there were so many
terrible officiating for both teams and i’m a die hard notre dame fan
This will always be my favorite college football game I will watch and the greatest college football game I will ever watch. It was epic watching it as a nd fan
This was such an amazing game I even skipped the OSU game for this
About time clemson has to play a REAL opponent in the ACC. agreed!
As in historical time you mean? Other than this season The Irish themselves haven't been a real true opponent in years.
@66fredo99 la France *Chumps* like PixelStaker always have selective memories and selective opinions
@@AlwaysHalloween000 you guys struggled against boston college just sit down and you also have the number 1 backup qb in the nation remember?....well you still lost to a real team!

The greatest game of football
It’s a very good game but not the best of all time bro
You should Have Seen the '66 Michigan St 10-10 Game. I Remember like it was Yesterday!!
Refs were horrible for both teams. They should be fired.
@@nicksantoro868 bro I was watching the game live and I was these are the worst refs ever
Dreadful defense on both sides.
Kyren Williams was the MVP last night. Great game running the ball but probably better blitz pick up. He's a first rounder in the making.
Yeah he is already amazing as a sophomore
I hope Against hope that he Stays at least one more year at Notre Dame
@@SlinkyGaming he has to as he’s only a sophomore but yeah I really hope he comes back for his senior year
@@chris57421 Oh cool, Those are the rules of Collage Football i'm unaware of, thank you, hope for him to stay his senior year :D
OMG!!!! Go Irish!!!! Thank you Notre Dame.
ND is oozing..Brian Kelly!! Amazing coach!!
Not really he has been good but not good enough
@@theg.ro.e.fmainchannel7100 he’s been really good. He’s been able to make top 5 teams with only a top 15 recruitment class each year. I’d call that pretty good

Hey Thomas H is someone salty?
@thoth Ammon. About 25 nfl players....must suk too lose Go IRISH...props to clemson though
"Extended highlights" Then proceeds to skip all the huge drives. lol
"HERE COME THE IRISH of NOTRE DAME!!!!!!!!!!☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️
Still want make the playoffs.
Dont sing it, bring it. Rolll Tide
I’m a huge fan of ND I enjoyed this so much
I liked when dabo complained a lot so the refs picked up the flag.. If you pout enough unfortunately sometimes you get your way
You summed up the entire Democratic Party.
There was a lot of ref ball in favor of Clemson so that makes Notre Dame a lot better. There would have been more if it wasnt on national TV
I turned off my tv once notre dame turned it on downs in the fourth thinking clemson won lol
You missed ND winning
Me too!! But I Prayed!! Did Clemson go 3 and out and How Much Time did they Have??
@@markmichalko3913 yes ND had 1:54 with 2 timeouts and Book threw a bomb to the about the 8 with 40 seconds then the scored with 20 seconds and Clemson kneeled the ND WON IN OT GO IRISH BABY!!
@@plovervelocity3239 I saw the Highlight of the Pass to 8. Then I assume Tigers went 3 & out after the 4th Down Incomplete. Was it 3 Runs??
@@markmichalko3913 It was two runs then an incomplete pass
I have never seen so many reviews in a overtime match
Goal kicking was top class 🔥
So you’re telling me this wasn’t a drunken dream? Thank god
Notre dame just been winning in ever category. First they get a supreme court justice on the bench then they beat #1 ranked clemson. CRAZY
Good game, like a championship game in the middle of the season! 🤙NBC
Our Lady of Victory 🎚 PRAY FOR US!
All credit to the Notre Dame Irish......It's easy to see what happened here.......Notre Dame held the best RB in the country Travis Etienne to 38yds on 18 carries.....The Irish defense is elite this season, and played lights out....Notre Dame is a complete team and has some swagger to them. The ND OL dominated our DL PERIOD....We couldn't open any holes to free up Travis Etienne. You can't give free TDs to Notre Dame on a silver platter by fumbling the ball 3times......WE will be fine and bounce back, trust me. I just hope and pray we play them again in Charlotte with the 5 starters that are out...... Congrats Notre Dame, you played fundamental and disciplined football, and we were not clean at all. GO TIGERS!!!!.........I hope we both get in the playoffs....2 ACC teams would be great and how great would it be if the IRISH joined the ACC permenatly.....We could have these type games every season!!!!! GO TIGERS!!!!
Defense needs fixing. Cause even last years playoff allowed 500+ yards in both games.
I hope Venables can coach them up into championship defense soon.
@@robertolebron2296 he better or it's going to be a irrelevant bowl game for us
Best game of 2020 season right here
Had to watch this game over because I didn’t belive dj used to be good
Tom Rees deserves a lot of credit. He's called all the plays for two seasons and has done a tremendous job. The guy is only 22 years old and has moved his way up all the way to offensive coordinator in 3 years. I think he's something very special. He will be head coach somewhere eventually.
butterball that was oonly his 8th games as a OC
Who watches this whenever they're feeling depressed?
I’m watching now because I knew it was a fluke
I am dreaaming of a classic Parsigian/Bryant ..Alabama/Notre Dame championship game. Those were the days.
Classic game 🤴
Too much sloppy defense to warrant "classic."
@@hd-xc2lz I’d disagree
I go goosebumps while watching overtime
No one:
Absolutely no one:
Refs: That play is under *further review*
The refs completely made themselves the center of attention in this game. That crew had better not be around for the rematch!
That one time they picked up the Pass Interference Flag, because Dabo Swinney shrieked in their ears about it, was one of the most blatant examples of referees "playing favorites" in a game, that I have ever seen! Notre Dame didn't just beat eleven Clemson players on the field. They also beat about six additional human beings, wearing striped shirts, who were trying so desperately hard to preserve Clemson's undefeated record, to make the ACC look better, I'm surprised they didn't try to give Clemson a FIFTH DOWN, in second overtime, to try and score.
@@shindari 100% agree. that PI call was BLATANT and later they made a call for PI against ND that was less deserving. I think honestly they spent so much time reviewing because they didn't want to be accused of deciding the winner after they messed up in the 4th quarter.
I don't care what anyone says, with or without the great Trevor Lawrence, Notre Dame still wins this game. They played Clemson's best QB Saturday night. All I have to say is, *GO IRISH* !!! Welcome back among the elite!!
They had better enjoy this season. When four of their five O-line starters leave what are they going to do then?
Due to the post game stampede onto the field, we'll see who is eligible to play next week and who has a covid infection.
haha fr tho
My first thought... good-bye season you guys.
Fun fact no one had COVID
Bro why is nobody giving some credit to the kicker😭 bro was perfect this game wtf
Wowwww...What a game. Always great to see the underdog get a win
Underdog??? We were missing our quarterback and starting middle linebacker? And they were the underdog. Ok
@@austinburton4123 you guys are Clemson. Better coach and better roster. You get all the top recruits and win nearly every game every year😂your argument is invalid
So much talent on both sides of the ball
So funny looking back now that Clemson would annihilate Notre Dame in the ACC Championship game the following month. I guess Trevor Lawrence really was the difference in this game. This game is still a classic in Notre Dame football though.
Night be among the greatest kicking matchups in CFB history. Don't care if it's lame, those dudes were ballin
Noter Dame almost gave that game away......
Noter Dame Defence went crazy in O.T
But you can't talk all that trash now they ain't overrated no more.
They were unbelievable
Best game ive seen all year
Finally Clemson played someone good 🤷🏻♂️
What a stupid comment! Over the last half dozen years Clemson has played every major college team. Some two or three times. Look and see what the outcome has been. Been in the NC game how many times? Truly ignorant!
@@dcburg I think he means this season you have to take into the fact that the only other ranked tean they've played is miami FL. You have take into the fact both teams played well but one team played better. Look at Clemson's defence it wasn't as good as it was 2 games ago. There are things as a team they need to improve on but other than that both teams are amazing. What I'm saying is it's not a stupid comment but you made a stupid reply just becuase Clemson has beat other major teams doesn't determain how they'll play next week or next year the past IS the past.
I am sooo happy that ND finally beat a great team. I remember the win vs Fla st. In 1993. It feels the same. Problem is I also remember the next game against BC. The same team they will face next week. Maaan I hope its not the same script.
And the Irish might pay a price for the field invasion. But ND came to play and Clemson underestimated them
Ending was insane
I feel like watching The Departed after that intro
I think Notre Dame wanted this game just a little bit more.
That said, Clemson still looks like a pretty good football team.
Rees made Venables feel like he was back at OU.
Clemson entered the game missing six starters on defense and last three more throughout the course of the game
Will Cosper yeah there coach is probably like, "Shoot now we need to put in a 4.5 star instead of a 5 star" I smell saltiness...
@@theg.ro.e.fmainchannel7100 Like it or not Will is right. Clemson is already playing a lot of freshmen and sophomores. Realistically, and I know your kind won't admit it, at that age they are not as mature mentally or physically as the seniors and grad students that ND lined up. Even if we don't make the playoffs we will be equipped next year to be right back. Will ND?
@@dcburg U are stupid, Idc that they are sophomores I would rather have a 5 star sophomore then a 3 star senior, ND just played better but you Clemson Bandwagons won't admit it
7:50 that is one heck of a throw 😮😳
2022 anyone
Two really good football teams and I'm an Alabama fan
Notre Dame doesn't get too many Top 10 recruiting classes, yet, they have some fast players, their players are as fast as the Clemson players are?? How is that? Good Trainer and good coaching? My Michigan team gets better recruiting classes then Notre Dame does, yet, Michigan players are not that fast or aggressive either.
go spartans
ur a michigan fan msu beat u guys cuz michigan sucks
@@colebergstrom9193 ur a michigan state fan iowa beat u guyz cuz michigan state sucks

Alabama will spank ND.
☘️☘️How Bout Them Irish☘️☘️
They don't look Irish
And even without Lawrence Clemson still had a big time 5 star recruit playing
@@ericsigersmith6067 I feel like Clemson would’ve won with Lawrence. Raw talent isn’t everything. Lawrence has way more experience than DJ. DJ missed a few key reads last night that would’ve secured the win. T Law wouldn’t miss all of those
I enjoyed this better than CLEMSON VS LSU!
Would have like to have seen Trevor Lawrence Play this one. They’ll still make the top 4 just because he wasn’t in this game.
Naw Bro, Dabo gave the season away making Lawrence sit out TWO GAMES! Take that L Clemson
@@heavyizthacrown-5842 Two games is the protocol for Cov-19. Moron
They deserve Top 4 even if Lawrence was playing and lost. Clemson is at the elite level where if they lose a Double OT road game against a top 5/10 team there is no reason they should drop far in the rankings.
@@heavyizthacrown-5842 Dabo had no choice at all. ACC and NCAA protocols demanded that TL sit out both games, as Dabo explained lucidly after your BC game.
Not sure TL makes a difference as you can’t play much better than DJ did.
The Irish vs the Buckeyes, would be a good matchup. We will see who makes the final four!
instant classic
