Clemsoning was a phrase used to describe Clemson football and its choking right up until the 2015 season and WIN over Stoops & OU in the Orange Bowl during he 1st round of the College Football playoffs
Prior to that 2015 season & playoff game Clemson had choked away game after game to FSU & So Carolina and had 70 points hung on them by WVU in the 2011 Orange Bowl. Causing them to fire its DC Kevin Steele and hire Venables.
That 2015 win over OU earned them national respect and ushered them into the "Big 3" (Bama, OSU & Clemson) That respect carried them into the playoffs despite losing to Pitt at home in Nov iof 2016 and losing to 4-8 Syracuse last year.
ND needs to win this football game vs Clemson to earn some respect, because they get very little, and ND needs to win this game to get into a discussion about being a Tier I program and not just a Tiet II program.
This is the moment and this is the opportunity.
