Great job, Notre Dame! That's the best this team has looked all year. Confident, poised, energetic, alive, and executing beautifully. 6 blocked punts?! That's incredible. And they did all this against 4th ranked, undefeated Clemson. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving team. Let's keep it going, Irish!
As a buckeye fan, people thought I was crazy saying yall have a good defense. You guys lost to Marshall because of injuries but I told them they won't lose nobody including clemson and yall proved me correct
When dude started 0-3 under the Golden Dome, folks wanted to fire him; but to be honest, I’ve never seen a Coach literally Whip Dabbo the way that he did tonight!!! He had Notre Dame prepared on all phases of the game.
As a Notre Dame fan, I'd love to see us playing each other yearly. Feel like we could be a great rivalry. We need to stop playing the ACC and start playing real schools!
@@stevenb3315 Steve. We still have a Tuff schedule. Not like Alabama and Ohiostate. We always play pac,acc,bigten, and Navy I have a feeling if we win ND last three games we will play LSU in a Bowl Game. Just my take. Go Irish ☘
I mean they're sitting at 6-3 with losses to Stanford and Marshal. A great, dominant, impressive win today against Clemson, but they're not exactly consistent over the course of a season yet.
@@mith2946 They were ranked number one, playing a number 3 team? However, they were the underdogs according to Vegas but game day thought differently. Either way Go Dawgs
I am a Michigan season ticket holder but I LOVE Notre Dame too! Don't ever count out ND because the team has a great tradition of winning and always has fantastic athletes and coaching! It was an exciting game and a decisive win over an excellent Clemson team. I have been to South Bend to watch games and it is always "magical". Go Irish! 🙂🙂🙂🙂
The Bama loss was much better and more people are happy seeing them out of the CFP now. I said earlier in the year when they barely beat an over rated Texas A&M that they were not a top 5 team.
@@Hayyyward no chance Bama would beat Georgia in the SEC Championship anyway - now it will be interesting to see if Tennessee or LSU plays them (assuming both teams win out)
I think LSU and UGA meet in Atlanta, UGA dawg walks the corn dogs. TCU drops a game to bevo and misses out. Oregon will probably win the pac, but not make it in the top 4 unless the Michigan Ohio state game is a blowout. Could be looking at UGA, Ohio State, Tennessee, Michigan.
Everyone was wondering if the Marcus Freeman hiring would pay off or not for Notre Dame. The slow start to the season had skeptics worried,but look at them now. Freeman has Notre Dame playing good football and his defense is flying around everywhere! If Notre Dame can recruit a top prospect at QB next season they will be very good. It’s good to see them trending in the right direction.
@@stevedelamancha6639 Still a top 5 recruiting class with many important ones visiting last night. How do you think they feel after watching ND dismantle Clemson last night?
That is THE best defensive play I've seen against a highly ranked team in some time. OUTSTANDING play ! And shows what being well prepared and defensive planning can pay off when well executed. Congrats Notre Dame !

Also ohio over them in ealier weeks. Know they can have that #1 spot. Tcu will be bumped up cause 2 teams lost... They had them to low
Great win for Notre Dame! Complete dominance. However, the highlights failed to show how Notre Dame's offensive line just bullied Clemson's all American stud defensive line all game long. Notre Dame pounded the ball right down their throats and there was nothing they could do about it. Notre Dame was by far the more physical team. I believe they have the best offensive line in the country by far. We already know they have the best tight end in the country. Now you can say they may have the best special team's unit in the country as a whole. Also, they have a top defense as well. The defense has been very good and strong all season. The scary part is, this team continues to get better every week. keep the momentum going! Go Irish! God Bless!!
I remember when ND was 0-2, and instead of people giving freeman room to improve and grow, he was called a diversity hire. There was no reason to call him that, he was the DC the year prior. Most programs promote either their OC or DC when a coach leaves unexpectedly or gets fired. Either way, it’s great how they were able to turn this season around.
Based on his recruiting alone real fans were going to be patient and let this play out. Sports culture in general has really become "what have you done for me today" with their attitude. Marcus Freeman is going to build a dominant, fast football team, something extremely difficult to do with their academic standards
nah, I had been saying for weeks that clemson wasn't the team to fear this year. they had an easy schedule and weren't really blowing teams out the way they should've been, and with how they had struggled against syracuse just for us to whoop them the week after sealed the deal in my book
@@2TONKA it's an old insult turned mascot. Notre Dame's Catholic roots and practice of accepting Irish students when they were heavily discriminated against in the US led to the term 'Fighting Irish' to be used to derogatorily refer to the student body, and was eventually adapted as part of the school's identity.
As a Clemson fan, this was a straight up beat down. Our DC and OC called the worst game in history and ND came prepared. We were out-coached and out played all game.
I have never seen the Irish play so beautiful with so much heart that was the best game that God has ever given me the the opportunity to witness in my life I'm so glad I'm an Irish fan I always have been I've always will be but this went was amazing they beat the undefeated team Clemson of all people fighting Irish they should be in the top 10 after today's win God bless the Irish
Learning curve I guess, weird one yeah, but this is freeman's first year as a head coach, new staff in general, not much experience in some key locations, mainly receivers early (who've really improved). Im excited to see what freeman will do
well, on the plus side... they're back in the top 25. On the negative side, their hops for a championship game have been lost. STILL, they can still land themselves a tier 1 bowl game.
So happy for coach! I loved the hire last year. I knew we'd have some growing pains but I knew he'd get it figured out. Beat 4 ranked teams and this win is the biggest win in a long time! How the did we lose to Marshal lol! That loss kills us! Great game fellas! Keep it going!

Frankly, I don’t even care if this was one of Clemson’s weaker teams compared to past ones, the fact that Notre Dame laid the beat down on them is encouraging all on its own. If Freeman can build off this win and get some key pieces in the recruitment phase, he might sincerely bring Notre Dame out of the pretenders bracket and be a real threat in the upcoming years. Excited to see how this turns out
Maybe so Clemson wins that one, but longest streak I believe in rivalry is 7 consecutive wins for both teams, Clemson at 7 now. So could lose to not go past 7.
Dont understand why haters come in here to comment. Go to your teams highlights and stop coming here. ND fans are intelligent enough to realize that ND isnt competing for a playoff spot. We just are proud of the steps forward that this team has made. This win will go a long way towards helping with recruiting. We dont have to say ND is back because we've been a top ten team for several years now. It started a little bumpy but we're moving forward. So for all the haters, i guess you'll just have to deal with it.
Love seeing a year where Alabama and Clemson hopefully won't be in the playoffs for the national title. Love it... love seeing the rotation in the polls every week... keeps it fresh - great job ND!!
And if they played 9 more times following that game, Marshall loses them all. And probably the next 90 too. It happened. It’s in the past. IMO the Stanford loss hurts more. They had no team identity when they played Marshall. But they just looked unprepared and disinterested versus Stanford, and there are no excuses for that and should NEVER happen. But good on them as they haven’t since
Exceptional play by Offense, Defense and Special teams. A GREAT DAY to be a fan of the IRISH !! Absolutely the BEST GAME so far, this year. GO IRISH ☘️
UM fan here. My Thanks to ND for showing the world how bad Clemson really is. Also very happy to see your team turning the corner and finding some success this season. I hope one day your team joins the B1G (yes I know it will never happen) and let's us renew my personal favorite rivalry. GO ORISH! GO BLUE!
Notre Dame joining the Big 10 has been something I've wanted to see for decades. They'd be the perfect fit and are in Big 10 country already. ND joining the ACC (in basketball only I think, so weird) was such a letdown.
Ok Michigan ain't that good either if your a real Clemson fan this was a toss up we've had ok at best QB play on the road night game really WE WILL BE BACK IN THE PICTURE THIS IS THE ONLY THE BEGINNING OF CHAOS THIS IS WHY WE LOVE COLLEGE FOOTBALL GO TIGERS 🐅
@@jamaalhaymon8161 best of luck. We are all fighting against the ESPN/SEC/CFP Money Monster. Right now the committee is trying to figure out how to get four SEC teams in the final playoffs and the only way to avoid it is to try to stay undefeated. They will take one loss SEC teams over anybody else anytime. UGA deserves it. They are the only team in that conference playing defense.
Who has Michigan played this whole season to not consider you over rated also? Clemson would put more of fight then your team ever will I mean last year playoffs speak for itself. Yes Clemson is over rated but Michigan is definitely not too far behind
Mitre Dame came to play and play they did . Dam good game goes the Fighting Irish ☘️ by stunning the Clemson Tigers 🐅 35-14 Clemson didn’t see that coming.
Nothing at all against Drew Pyne, but I do wonder what this team looks like with an Elite QB? I mean, because we have some really good WRs, and at least 2 or 3 TEs who can dominate both Recieving and Blocking... And obviously the Running game is elite. The O-line has finally gelled and is playing as we all thought they would in the beggining of the season. The Defense is stout as long as the Offense doesn't leave them on the field for long stretches. And Special Teams? Forget it! They're awesome! So again... what do they look like with an elite QB?
CBS extended highlights of Georgia vs Tennessee, 25 minutes. NBC's "extended" highlights of Clemson vs Notre Dame only 8 minutes. Apparently NBC doesn't understand the concept of "extended".
Clemson would have needed to perform better for there to be anything more to add to the reel. It was basically three plays and punt half a dozen times. NBC literally showed every major play of the game for both teams.
Great game the difference in Notre Dame winning tonight was the demeanor of Marcus Freeman on the sidelines if you go back and watch the losses especially the Stanford and Marshall he just seemed like he had a negative demeanor the whole time it was kind of pouting during the game but that's growth as a head coach and I'm really happy because there was some big time recruits in attendance for the game tonight AND YES IM Speaking ABOUT PEYTON BOWEN HE DOESN'T WANT TO COMMIT FULLY TO NOTRE DAME AFTER TONIGHT HE WAS NEVER GOING TO BUT HERE'S THE HOPING HE STAYS COMMITTED AND FOLLOWS THROUGH ON IT BECAUSE HE IS A GAME-CHANGING PLAYER ON DEFENSE ALSO BENJAMIN MORRISON WHAT CAN I SAY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT JADEN MICKEY ALL YEAR BUT IF YOU GO ON THE NOTRE DAME BLUE AND GOLD MESSENGER BOARDS I'VE BEEN SCREAMING BENJAMIN MORRISON ALL YEAR ONCE HE GETS HIS CHANCE FOR PLAYING TIME HE'S JUST AN INSTINCTIVE FOOTBALL PLAYER AND I'M PROUD OF HIM And MICHAEL MAYER TOP TEN PICK Next YEAR IN THE NFL DRAFT GREAT GAME, ONE THING I WILL SAY IT WOULD HAVE BEEN REALLY NICE TO SEE SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF NOTRE DAME RUSHING THE BALL FOR $260 YARDS AND CONTROLLING THE GAME CLOCK AGAINST CLEMSON NOW WE JUST GOT TO BE NAVY BOSTON COLLEGE AND THEN BEAT USC AT THE END OF THE YEAR TO FINISH NINE AND THREE AND TO MAKE A NEW YEAR'S SIX BOWL GAME
Man I didn't expect Clemson to get blown out. But you know what it's time for a new dominance in college football it's time for Alabama and Clemson to step back it's time for someone else looks like it's going to be Georgia
Looks like Clemson's reign as a football powerhouse is really over , I haven't seen them get beaten this bad in a while. 💯 The whole ACC looks pretty weak after Syracuse , Clemson and Wake all fell this weekend. 💯 This is a great win but I have a bad feeling about the upcoming game with Navy ⚓. That being said , GO IRISH !!!!!!! 💯🍀🍀🍀
I am an Ohio State fan but follow ND as closely as I can. FWIW I do not think you have reason to worry about the Navy game. ND's D was playing fast and aggressive D. Really strong performance that Freeman will continue to build on.
Clemson was living off the past with the cfp. Lawrence and Watson are not there anymore. This loss to ND was expected. Georgia and Michigan got dissed by the cfp last week. They should be 1 and 2. But they’ll probably still put Ohio at 2.
That pick 6 was maybe the loudest I’ve ever heard that stadium. I was dancing in the aisle! What a great game!

We just are proud of the steps forward that this team has made. This win will go a long way towards helping with recruiting. We dont have to say ND is back because we've been a top ten team for several years now. It started a little bumpy but we're moving forward. So for all the haters, i guess you'll just have to deal with it.
Agree 💯. GO IRISH! ☘️
A Michigan fan thanks you Notre Dame
Love seeing a year where Alabama and Clemson hopefully won't be in the playoffs for the national title. Love it... love seeing the rotation in the polls every week... keeps it fresh - great job ND!!
Hard to believe this is very same notre dame team that lost to Marshall. They've come a long way.
And if they played 9 more times following that game, Marshall loses them all. And probably the next 90 too. It happened. It’s in the past. IMO the Stanford loss hurts more. They had no team identity when they played Marshall. But they just looked unprepared and disinterested versus Stanford, and there are no excuses for that and should NEVER happen. But good on them as they haven’t since
lol, Marshall. South Bend is full of losers
Every time I hear Jac say “can he go, yes he can!!” All I think of is Bob the Builder. I miss tirico.
Michael Mayer looks like a monster getting catches making big blocks looks like Gronk Jr.
Michigan loves you Notre Dame!
Certified ND hater here. Congrats and apology to coach Freeman, I had called him Scott Frost 2.0!
🤣 🤣......at least you can admit it....here we come
I was there, place was absolutely rocking
Irish special teams have been playing some VT beamer ball lately lol. Just getting after it
LOVE re-watching the 2022 season while getting ready for 2023! Go Irish!!! ✝, Country, 🍀🏈
Finally Clemson laid the egg. This has been coming all year.
Exceptional play by Offense, Defense and Special teams.
A GREAT DAY to be a fan of the IRISH !!
Absolutely the BEST GAME so far, this year.
GO IRISH ☘️
best game last decade or two easily
Clemson has been playing with fire these last few weeks. Burn baby burn.
This was the only time I was rooting for Notre Dame
UM fan here.
My Thanks to ND for showing the world how bad Clemson really is.
Also very happy to see your team turning the corner and finding some success this season.
I hope one day your team joins the B1G (yes I know it will never happen) and let's us renew my personal favorite rivalry.
GO ORISH!
GO BLUE!
THANK YOU!
Now please, do the nation a favor and make it 2 in a row against OSU!
Michigan has a real shot at winning it all this season!
Good luck!
Notre Dame joining the Big 10 has been something I've wanted to see for decades. They'd be the perfect fit and are in Big 10 country already. ND joining the ACC (in basketball only I think, so weird) was such a letdown.
Ok Michigan ain't that good either if your a real Clemson fan this was a toss up we've had ok at best QB play on the road night game really WE WILL BE BACK IN THE PICTURE THIS IS THE ONLY THE BEGINNING OF CHAOS THIS IS WHY WE LOVE COLLEGE FOOTBALL GO TIGERS 🐅
@@jamaalhaymon8161 best of luck. We are all fighting against the ESPN/SEC/CFP Money Monster.
Right now the committee is trying to figure out how to get four SEC teams in the final playoffs and the only way to avoid it is to try to stay undefeated. They will take one loss SEC teams over anybody else anytime.
UGA deserves it. They are the only team in that conference playing defense.
Who has Michigan played this whole season to not consider you over rated also? Clemson would put more of fight then your team ever will I mean last year playoffs speak for itself. Yes Clemson is over rated but Michigan is definitely not too far behind
Michael Meyer is gonna be the next great TE
It was embarrassing for Clemson to be aided by the refs for their first scoring drive with all those daft pass interference calls.
Refs tried to hand them a drive earlier too, and the Benjamin Morrison had a pick 6
@@ast12321 no call on targeting was horrible
Mitre Dame came to play and play they did . Dam good game goes the Fighting Irish ☘️ by stunning the Clemson Tigers 🐅 35-14 Clemson didn’t see that coming.
I’m a lifelong Irish fan but you gotta love Dabo. Pure class.
Nothing at all against Drew Pyne, but I do wonder what this team looks like with an Elite QB?
I mean, because we have some really good WRs, and at least 2 or 3 TEs who can dominate both Recieving and Blocking...
And obviously the Running game is elite. The O-line has finally gelled and is playing as we all thought they would in the beggining of the season.
The Defense is stout as long as the Offense doesn't leave them on the field for long stretches.
And Special Teams? Forget it! They're awesome!
So again... what do they look like with an elite QB?
Maybe one day we will find out. Never did with the previous coach
This is by far the wildest cfb year
Not yet
Take a look at 2007
My god that year still holds strong as the weirdest year
@@iameatingursnack fair enough but still this year has been a rollercoaster for basically everyone
Best special team!
☘️
That's the team I have never given up on for any reason. N.D. IRISH..........G.O.A.T. every year
Mayer's touchdown pass same play used against SOUTH CAROLINA for the winning score in the Gator Bowl post season.
20 is a beast
CBS extended highlights of Georgia vs Tennessee, 25 minutes. NBC's "extended" highlights of Clemson vs Notre Dame only 8 minutes. Apparently NBC doesn't understand the concept of "extended".
Clemson would have needed to perform better for there to be anything more to add to the reel. It was basically three plays and punt half a dozen times. NBC literally showed every major play of the game for both teams.
Amazing defense all game. That was perfect.
Thank you ND. 😊 💓
574!!! Let’s go Irish ☘️!!
Hopefully the AP will stop running hype for Clemson every year. But I said the same thing last year and here we are.
The final score is not indicative of how lopsided this game was. ND dominated. ☘️
fucking love notre dame
Audric Estime breaking through the line with the ball in his hands must not be a pretty sight for a defensive back.
Glad we got the premier league outro on this one
Biggest win since beating Florida State back with Coach Lou
remember when Clemson was #4 and we all collectively scratched our heads ?
Will Shipley should have came to ND and tonight he has to be thinking the same thing!
he is def not
@@landoncrawford975 Yeah, he would be sitting on the bench.
Getting a little carried away aren't you. We will see you Nov. 4th 2023 in Clemson.
He's not thinking that in 2023.
I told you we'd see you in 2023. Swallow that D.B.
If ND had an elite QB this game would have been even a wider margin.
Oh, but they do !!
All good things come with time.
This is an underated game to me
There was just an energy that ND was going to win this game. And low and behold
Great game the difference in Notre Dame winning tonight was the demeanor of Marcus Freeman on the sidelines if you go back and watch the losses especially the Stanford and Marshall he just seemed like he had a negative demeanor the whole time it was kind of pouting during the game but that's growth as a head coach and I'm really happy because there was some big time recruits in attendance for the game tonight AND YES IM Speaking ABOUT PEYTON BOWEN HE DOESN'T WANT TO COMMIT FULLY TO NOTRE DAME AFTER TONIGHT HE WAS NEVER GOING TO BUT HERE'S THE HOPING HE STAYS COMMITTED AND FOLLOWS THROUGH ON IT BECAUSE HE IS A GAME-CHANGING PLAYER ON DEFENSE ALSO BENJAMIN MORRISON WHAT CAN I SAY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT JADEN MICKEY ALL YEAR BUT IF YOU GO ON THE NOTRE DAME BLUE AND GOLD MESSENGER BOARDS I'VE BEEN SCREAMING BENJAMIN MORRISON ALL YEAR ONCE HE GETS HIS CHANCE FOR PLAYING TIME HE'S JUST AN INSTINCTIVE FOOTBALL PLAYER AND I'M PROUD OF HIM And MICHAEL MAYER TOP TEN PICK Next YEAR IN THE NFL DRAFT GREAT GAME, ONE THING I WILL SAY IT WOULD HAVE BEEN REALLY NICE TO SEE SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF NOTRE DAME RUSHING THE BALL FOR $260 YARDS AND CONTROLLING THE GAME CLOCK AGAINST CLEMSON NOW WE JUST GOT TO BE NAVY BOSTON COLLEGE AND THEN BEAT USC AT THE END OF THE YEAR TO FINISH NINE AND THREE AND TO MAKE A NEW YEAR'S SIX BOWL GAME
My Astros & Irish stepped up big on this Saturday!
Love the coach's jacket, very neat
Man I didn't expect Clemson to get blown out. But you know what it's time for a new dominance in college football it's time for Alabama and Clemson to step back it's time for someone else looks like it's going to be Georgia
They should get in top 15. They still got USC to play. Should be good.
Looks like Clemson's reign as a football powerhouse is really over , I haven't seen them get beaten this bad in a while. 💯 The whole ACC looks pretty weak after Syracuse , Clemson and Wake all fell this weekend. 💯 This is a great win but I have a bad feeling about the upcoming game with Navy ⚓. That being said , GO IRISH !!!!!!! 💯🍀🍀🍀
How are your "feelings" always wrong? 🤣
I am an Ohio State fan but follow ND as closely as I can. FWIW I do not think you have reason to worry about the Navy game. ND's D was playing fast and aggressive D. Really strong performance that Freeman will continue to build on.
Just enjoy watching and cheering
He so mad lol
Trollll 😂 your “feelings” are usually wrong
Fun fact: Clemson has never won at Notre Dame stadium.
If ND had a really good QB this year they are undefeated right now.
Statement win!!
Who here after the Bama OC news?
Trynna see what tommy talking about watch that Norte dame vs Boston college he had some great designs Roll tide 🐘
What a weekend it's called any given Saturday
Fight on ✌🏽
Drew Pyne looking like Brady Quinn out there 😭🔥🔥
Lol
Can we get an undefeated November? I’d LOVE to see them rampage through LA.
Absolutely love watching Clemson fans cry 😂
Not a fan of either team, but I do want to say Jac Collinsworth is surprisingly great as the play by play commentator. Great call of the game
What a game!!! Go Irish!
NBC is pretty happy. Finally their investment in Notre Dame football paying off little bit.
Clemson was living off the past with the cfp. Lawrence and Watson are not there anymore. This loss to ND was expected.
Georgia and Michigan got dissed by the cfp last week. They should be 1 and 2. But they’ll probably still put Ohio at 2.
Respect coach Freeman
