I don't see why ND couldn't beat these guys. They are struggling against 0-2 Louisville and it appears Clemson has a bunch of guys out for the season. I like their QB, but other than that nobody on that team scares me.
Watching Clemson v. Louisville right now
- Thread starter Shakin' Down the Thunder
- Start date
They have a fast defense if they can get it going. And their dink and dunk idea for passing is pretty effective. Also that RB #9 is going to get his yards.
Their biggest thing is that Louisville sold out all night on pass rush trying to get to the QB and hurried a ton of his passes. If ND doesn't do that, and offers more time for them to pass they will have a chance to pick ND apart.
Also, all joking aside, they have a pretty good secondary, and ND will be playing them at Clemson, at night, after Clemson has 15 days off to prepare and scheme.
Second hardest game on the schedule.

im a bit worried about playing at death valley at night...but over all I do think Clemson was over rated in the pre season and that perception...if they continue undefeated before they play the irish should play in the irish's favor as far as scheduling critics go.
but yes the Irish should be able to beat them. especially if there O line doesn't get healthy in a hurry

If the Clemson game was in South Bend, I would be mightily concerned about all the orange that would over take the stadium. You know, everyone has a price, anything for a buck. I don't see that happening at Clemson so it should be home field advantage for Clemson. And with it being a prime time game I would imagine it will have a Saturday night SEC feel to it. Still, I have often heard Irish players say they really enjoy playing in an opposing atmosphere like that. Barring no more injuries, I think the Irish have a real shot at winning this game. First things first though. The Ramblin' Wreck of Georgia Tech.
Clemson is done playing until they the Irish relaxing at home for the next 15 days. They will be well rested while ND has two more games to play. Hopefully without any injuries.
Kinda hard to judge Clemson after watching them play Louisville. The Cardinals are a pretty good 0-3 team......could very easily be 3-0 right now if the ball bounces their way a time or two. In my opinion, Clemson looked their best last night on D when they sent the safety in on some blitzes. He caused some problems.
Louisville snatched defeat from the jaws of victory with that last drive.
Terrible play selections and even worse execution. They could have made a couple smarter plays and had a real shot at overtime. The problem was the youth and inexperience.

We can exploit that OL. They're too inexperienced as a group and if we mix up where our blitzes come from, we can get to the QB.
