    Settled for a FG on the false start!

    Clemson hits the big play for a TD, this is what killed us last time their ability to make the big play down field with their NFL quality receivers. The freshman Qb has a big and accurate arm.

    Clemson is a little short of D starters. We might wear out their D

    Granted they are missing some players, but like Alabama they just plug in a 5 star player to replace them

    Amazing pick off of pitch by JOK and we get the scoop and score. It does look like he came up 6 inches short but replay didn't catch it.

    Now we get another turnover!

    Ugh 15 yd penalty for blindside block!

    Settle for another FG.

    IRISH 23-10

    That was a golden opportunity, can't beat them with FG's. Need TD'S

    Clemson drive stopped by the Irish defense, forced a FG.
    23 - 13

    Risky FG attempt, 57 yds, he's never made one from that distance. It was a good kick, but they had a return that was close to being a kick 6. Thankfully the holder took out Etienne.

    Halftime

    Key to the 2nd half is the Clemson WR, if we can handle them I like our chances, if not it's going to be tough to hold them unless the offense can get some TDs

    3 and out followed by bad punt. Not the start needed on offense.

    Tie game, Clemson scores on it's first 2 possessions.

    23 - 23

    If we can't get points on this next drive it will start to slip away. Those missed opportunities in the 1st half come back to bite you.

    Clemson Qb is really good, he's got great wr and he's making the throws.

    Long drive by Clemson, they lead
    33-26

    The big difference is that Qb and the WR play. We just haven't gotten the type of play out of ours.

    Unbelievable drive to tie the game at 33, looks like OT unless Clemson gets a kick return

    What a great game. Both these teams are certainly in the National Championship hunt.

    And the Gators took Georgia out of the mix today.

    But no matter Clemson and Notre Dame headed to OT. Good luck.

    Irish score in 3 plays and we go to a 2nd OT.

    40 - 40

    Wow, great game. Irish right in the National Championship hunt. Probably would go even if you lose the ACC Championship game to Clemson. Could see both teams there.

    Great game.

    Can't believe it, Irish win 47 - 40 in double OT!

    What a defensive stand to win it!
