#4 Notre Dame takes down #1 Clemson 47-40 in 2OT

[Chieftain2009]

What a game!! Even without a ton of defensive players and their star quarterback, this was still a thriller. This is likely to be a rematch in the ACC Championship.

Notre Dame (7-0):

Ian Book - 22/39; 310 pass yards; 1 pass TD; 68 rush yards
Kyren Williams - 23 carries; 140 rush yards; 3 rush TDs
Javon McKinley - 5 receptions; 102 receiving yards
Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah - Fumble return for TD
Jonathan Doerer - 5/5 extra points; 4/5 field goals (Long of 45 yards)

Clemson (7-1):

DJ Uiagalelei - 28/43; 426 pass yards; 2 pass TDs; 1 rush TD
Travis Etienne - 18 carries; 28 rush yards; 1 rush TD; 57 receiving yards
Cornell Powell - 6 receptions; 161 receiving yards; 1 receiving TD
BT Potter - 4/4 extra points; 4/4 field goals (Long of 46 yards)

Clemson will win the rematch.

To just say Clemson would win the rematch is the same as people said no way that ND could win. Even with all that Clemson was playing without. If Book would not had fumbled. ND would have won before OT. Things could go ND favor more even if Lawrence comes back to make it another ND win. There is a chance just would not bet my money on that happening.

ND looking good.........Not sure who I'd put my money on in a rematch......even with long hair Lawrence......Don't think this game would have made a difference with him in there........

Ah the Golden Domers! Brings to mind an obscure sports trivia question: What has Notre Dame and Marshall accomplished that Ohio State has not?






Defeated Clemson in football.

Great game. I had to watch this one over the Bucks and Rut. Lived up to all the hype for sure. Clemson without all them players fought valiantly and showed their true metal. With Fabio back along with them defensive players I will take Clemson in the rematch easy. Looks like the Clemson train will keep rolling after Fabio leaves because that backup has impressed!

It's funny that everyone keeps mentioning Clemson's injuries but never mentions ND was without WR's Austin #4 and Lenzy #0.
I know this Clemson had never been hit on both sides of the ball like they were Saturday night.Will ND win the rematch, i'm not sure but I do know they will show up and again lay the wood.
