If ND beats Clemson convincingly then what's everyone think? ND I would think is pretty for real. Crazy at how many injuries they have and seem to just plug and play still. Regardless I'm interested in this game.

Doesn't take away the fact that our offense just didn't show up to well, but I will be interested in the physicality of ND vs. Clemson in this one.

What's everyone else think about this match up transitive principal aside?

Edit: I guess it's a few weeks until they play. My bad.

I think it will be a good matchup, and I'd lean toward Clemson winning simply due to home field advantage. The atmosphere will be pretty electric - my friend just sold his upper deck tickets for over $300 apiece.

If Notre Dame wins that one, there's absolutely no reason they shouldn't be ranked #1.
 
I think Clemson will probably play them better than we did, I'd even give them a fair shot to win. Yes our offense was terrible in the ND game, but that wasn't the same ND team that showed up at UVa. They heard all week how bad they were going to lose to us, how many points we would put up, how potent our offense was, and how that was going to be their toughest game of the season. They saw 90+% of the media pick them to lose the game. When you have the amount of talent that ND has, with decent coaching, and give them that type of motivation... big things can happen. I will bet that ND doesn't look as good against anyone else as they did against us.
 
What's going to happen is Clemson will beat Notre Dame in Death Valley and everyone on the board will freak out.

I hope Clemson does beat Notre Dame. I'll root for an ACC win and it'll get them hyped up like we were before the ND game. Hopefully by then JT and the rest of the rugrats will have gotten their minds rite.
 
Nope. No they don't. Good Lord our fans are some of the dumbest out there.

I won't... I am hoping ND gets boat raced by Clemson. While I can tip my hat to the talent, something else was going on in that game, and I hope it gets exposed.

There is something suspicious to me when we had 3 times the number missed assignments as measured against every game CPJ has coached since 1985. That includes Iowa, LSU... VT, Clemson and UGA many times, FSU... We've been outplayed and even dominated before. Something else was "afoot" against the Irish.
 
I expect this to be a low scoring game. I think Clemson will do a little better job than us in limiting the big plays. Containing Fuller and Prosise will be key. They have film on Kizer now and plenty of time to put a scheme together. Offensively, Clemson has struggled so far and I expect them to be rusty against a stout Irish defense after a long time between games.

23-17 Clemson

I was offered that for each of my tix the last time we played ND at BDS.

Say what you will about Notre Dame, they draw a crowd. I believe our crowd that night was the largest since expansion.

Are you talking about a conspiracy?

Maybe a constellation of things aligning. Wouldn't surprise me if there was something though. It is Notre Dame and they do everything they can to make sure that "mystique" is polished and ready.

I would say maybe they stole our signs but that's just CPJ yelling instructions into a kid's ear and throwing him onto the field. Maybe they bugged CPJ?

It is all the genuflecting their fans do during the games. I spend the whole game genuflecting backwards to undo some of it but I am only 1 guy.
