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.

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
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.
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.
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😉
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.
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 !!!!
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.
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.
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 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
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.
@@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
@@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!
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
@@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!!
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!!
Even tho Trevor didnt play i dont know if it would've mattered... DJ played pretty good he had over 400 yrds passing.. Good job Irish but you will have to play them again in the ACC title game. Good luck.
yup you are right. people that act like Clemson isn't good without Lawrence are idiotic. They won big time games with Boyd at QB then with Watson at QB then with Lawrence at QB. It's no surprise the guy that is filling in for Lawrence seems like another future star. They are a complete team with championship experience that also does well in recruiting and developing their QBs. Dabo also one of the best all around coaches in the country. Clemson is still a contender this season and will be next season without Lawrence as well. They could beat ND in a rematch but it's one game between two very good teams and anything could happen. There is no doubt though if these two take care of business the ACC Championship Game will be a good one and basically a CFP play in game.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@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
Still get the chills watching it. Trevor wasn’t playing and I get that, but great game. Probably don’t win with Trevor as evident in their second game, but awesome game.
@@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
@@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
Lol some of you who watch football are oblivious we had multiple injured players on defense and not to mention our qb was out and we still managed to keep up please stop talking as if yall blew us out lol. Good win but game would've been more interesting if we had our players.

@@AdolfHitler-if6ox Not every Notre Dame fan obviously 😁. You can be a fan of both until they play each other anyways.
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.
I turned the game off after notre dame didn’t convert their fourth down with about 2 minutes left and I can’t find the stop anywhere. Crazy
It was so amazing watching it live
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.
I did the same thing..thought Clemson would run out the last 2 mins..thank goodness for TH-cam...lol I hate Clemson
@MarkTaylorAuthor....do you get NBC Soorts Chicago? If you do they show a replay on Friday afternoon at 3pm
@@irishron4861 I don't but I appreciate it
This team this year is special, something I have not seen in over 40 years watching them.
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
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 win ND was stocked to see you get it done. Well played.
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

Nah they are garbage

@@donaldduck5037 They're playing an all-ACC schedule and are even eligible for the conference title game.
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
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?
I’m a notre dame fan. Stayed up until 5am to watch the entire game. It was worth it in the end. Go Irish! 💪🏼☘️
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
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
I’m a huge fan of ND I enjoyed this so much
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.
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
This was such an amazing game I even skipped the OSU game for this
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
OMG!!!! Go Irish!!!! Thank you Notre Dame.
Our Lady of Victory 🎚 PRAY FOR US!
"HERE COME THE IRISH of NOTRE DAME!!!!!!!!!!☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️
Still want make the playoffs.
Dont sing it, bring it. Rolll Tide
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
This Will go down as a College football game of 2020 / I hope this is a national championship preview

I go goosebumps while watching overtime
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!

@@jrock865 Trevor would have gotten the w tho
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
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
Goal kicking was top class 🔥
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
Best game of 2020 season right here
"Extended highlights" Then proceeds to skip all the huge drives. lol
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?
Classic game 🤴
Too much sloppy defense to warrant "classic."
@@hd-xc2lz I’d disagree
ND came to play in this one. Clemson’s defense desperately needs personnel upgrades... #24, #10, #15, and #36 are really hampering them.
I have never seen so many reviews in a overtime match
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
Had to watch this game over because I didn’t belive dj used to be good
Best game ive seen all year
Tons of NFL calibre talent in this one!
@Thomas H sounding like a major loser lmao
Hey Thomas H is someone salty?
@thoth Ammon. About 25 nfl players....must suk too lose Go IRISH...props to clemson though
I am dreaaming of a classic Parsigian/Bryant ..Alabama/Notre Dame championship game. Those were the days.
So you’re telling me this wasn’t a drunken dream? Thank god
Even tho Trevor didnt play i dont know if it would've mattered... DJ played pretty good he had over 400 yrds passing.. Good job Irish but you will have to play them again in the ACC title game. Good luck.
yup you are right. people that act like Clemson isn't good without Lawrence are idiotic. They won big time games with Boyd at QB then with Watson at QB then with Lawrence at QB. It's no surprise the guy that is filling in for Lawrence seems like another future star. They are a complete team with championship experience that also does well in recruiting and developing their QBs. Dabo also one of the best all around coaches in the country. Clemson is still a contender this season and will be next season without Lawrence as well. They could beat ND in a rematch but it's one game between two very good teams and anything could happen. There is no doubt though if these two take care of business the ACC Championship Game will be a good one and basically a CFP play in game.
@@thomasdemay9805 yup i agree 💯 with you.
I agree, if they had trevor they wouldnt beat nd anyways. Wait...
@@GermanWhizzer yea yea i know this post didnt age well..lol... Thats ok my Buckeyes will beat Clemson... Believe it!
Who watches this whenever they're feeling depressed?
I’m watching now because I knew it was a fluke
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
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.
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.
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 think Notre Dame wanted this game just a little bit more.
That said, Clemson still looks like a pretty good football team.
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.
Night be among the greatest kicking matchups in CFB history. Don't care if it's lame, those dudes were ballin
And the Irish might pay a price for the field invasion. But ND came to play and Clemson underestimated them
Ending was insane
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

@@luism3389 uhhhhh y’all also lost to indiana and we beat u guys in ur stadium, when u guys used 4 timeouts. cmon man
@martini stirred No they don't. Michigan usually gets better classes than Notre Dame does.
The Irish vs the Buckeyes, would be a good matchup. We will see who makes the final four!
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
Still get the chills watching it. Trevor wasn’t playing and I get that, but great game. Probably don’t win with Trevor as evident in their second game, but awesome game.
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
Bro why is nobody giving some credit to the kicker😭 bro was perfect this game wtf
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.

☘️☘️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

This is one of the worst replay edits I’ve seen in a while. Why we watching nearly the entire PAT play clocks?

Indeed! That is what they are saying we would have won if we had Trevor! SMH!
Lol some of you who watch football are oblivious we had multiple injured players on defense and not to mention our qb was out and we still managed to keep up please stop talking as if yall blew us out lol. Good win but game would've been more interesting if we had our players.
