Officially Official ND v. Clemson ACC Conference Championship Game Thread
- Thread starter Shakin' Down the Thunder
- Start date
Look, Ian Book has been phenomenal. Nothing against the kid, he’s done great, but it’s clear if ND wants to win these big games consistently, we need a big, strong armed QB.
Can’t believe the speed on Clemson’s part. 5* recruits vs. others. Game clearly over.
Yikes. This has 2018 CFP game all over it again. I am aware that it’s tough to beat an opponent a second time, but I was expecting at least a little bit of a better showing than this. Flat and overwhelmed again. Oh well.
well this game is over. the big stage with a cfp bid on the line and our irish don't even f#cking show up
I'm very surprised by this considering ND beat them earlier. Whats that swagger, confidence, and chip on that shoulder? Gotta get themselves right mentally.
I don't know football as well as many people in this board, but I would love to hear an explanation from one of the experts here about why the absence of both Lawrence and Skalski was discounted in the first game. Their performances have pretty well defined this game. This is a good Notre Dame team, and it might get defeated something like 48 to 10, maybe worse.
I don't mean to attack Brian Kelly, who I think is a decent coach, but I don't see Notre Dame turning this around in the second half. We have neither the horses nor the coaches.

Change the channel, you‘re watching the wrong game.
How many times has Lawrence been sacked ?
Now how about Book ?
I always knew this was a possibility but didn’t expect it this year. I don’t know what’s going on with this defense. Maybe Clark’s departure is a bigger distraction than I thought.
Book hasn’t been sacked in the pocket once.... book is scared to throw it , he’s playing like the book that started his first 25 games , average qb
Lawrence doesn’t need to leave the pocket to see the whole field. He’s had less time than Ian but he gets rid of it quicker.
This ones over. Just limit the damage in the second half, if possible (hold them under 50?), and hope they can still get in to the CFP. Although I have no confidence in them to survive one game even if they make it in. They keep showing that the moment is too big. That’s a preparation and mindset issue. Cmon Kelly.
It's not. Lawrence and Skalski are both playing. That's the difference.
I'm old enough now where I don't have high expectations, so it doesn't make me mad when we get handled like this. I do wonder, though, why the hopes rise among our fan base when we have a good start to our seasons. Kelly has managed to recruit and coach well enough to get us to the top-10, but that's as far as it's going.
It‘s over ! We will have to score every possession , and stop Clemson cold ! If we can do that , it would be one of the biggest comebacks in College football history.
Our Defense was our strength all season long, but they are completely outclassed by Lawrence, that kid is a top pro draft
choice. Not to mention that Clemson is also running at will.

What game are you watching? Clemson is taking the run away and forcing Book to make a play with his arm and he can’t period.
Glad to see the Irish DB's practicing social distancing from the Clemson receivers....
That entire drive was Etienne, even on 2nd and 15 from their 13 yd line, right up the middle for 8 yards. If we tried an entire drive of handing or throwing to K Williams, Venebles would have four Tigers mauling him by the 2nd series.
I turn down the TV volume and listen to the radio coverage. It's not good but Herbie is embarrassing!
