This will get ugly fast. I think ND vs Bama matchup was maybe a better one for ND.

48-17 type game. ND doesnt have the speed to stay in this game.

Agreed. Clemson can be scored on but Tiger speed will dominate. 42-27 nod to Dabo's boys.

Surprised there's not more talk on this semifinal. Dexter Lawrence and two other Clemson players tested positive for a banned substance.

My sources in Tiger nation told me the substance is called ostarine....it is currently in clinical trials (or close to it) as a muscle building drug for those with muscular dystrophy and other debilitating diseases. This drug was part of a group of drugs added to the banned list a few years ago by both usada and wada ( us and world anti doping agency).

If it were OSU players, ESPN would be blowing this up right now.

Funny how their biased sports reporting works. Its like CNN for sports.

Clemson is showing a little bit that speed kills! Score a TD on an 85 yard drive to take a 16-3 lead with 1:44 left in the first half.

I'd guess everyone wanted that kid. He's tall, big, strong, runs good routes, has good hands, and can burn past DBs.

Clemson gets the ball first to start 2nd half....what do the Irish do differently....their db Vaughn was picked on numerous times by Lawrence.
