The Storylines

After meeting only twice in Clemson’s first 119 seasons of play, Clemson and Notre Dame will meet for the fifth time in eight seasons when the Tigers and Fighting Irish renew acquaintances on Saturday, Nov. 5. Kickoff at Notre Dame Stadium is set for 7:30 p.m. ET.

In its most recent contest, Clemson recorded its 38th consecutive home victory, setting the ACC record and tying the 1919-27 Fighting Irish for the 10th-longest home winning streak in FBS history. Those Irish teams under the guidance of College Football Hall of Famer Knute Rockne were a combined 78-7-3 at all venues in the seasons comprising that streak.

But Clemson has supplemented its historic home streak with the nation’s best road record since 2015. Clemson’s 34-4 road record in that span gives the Tigers a national-best .895 road winning percentage, and Clemson’s 34 road wins since 2015 are three more than any other FBS program and five more than any other Power Five program.

You're right Swanney. As much as I want the D to get a turnover, I can't blame this performance on them. The O is stagnant so far. Streeter is the one to blame at the moment.

I agree, Brady. Would like to see the Tigers stretch the field more.

The best play of the night offensively came from an out pattern to Beaux Collins on that last Clemson drive, but the Tigers are unable to get going beyond that.

Notre Dame still leads 14-0 with 5:19 to play in the 3rd.

Looks like Clemson is about to make a change at QB -- from DJU to Cade Klubnik. Meanwhile, Notre Dame on the move again with 2:12 and counting to play in the 3rd. ND leads 14-0.

Benjamin Morrison picks off Klubnik on the naked bootleg. ND in business in Clemson territory.

END 3Q: Notre Dame 14, Clemson 0

Irish will have it inside Clemson territory when play resumes. 127 yards for the Tigers offensively.

Dabo's "niceness" is wearing out. Time to stop being nice for the sake of being nice. Hire the coordinator that's best for the job not the man you are buddies with.

Audric Estime scores from 2 yards out. Irish cash in on the takeaway and take a commanding 21-0 lead over Clemson with 14:37 to play in the game.

Almost time to reboot from scratch.

It's been a long time since I've seen Clemson get dominated like this. In all three phases.

DJU is back in the game.

Usually when we are losing I am embarrassed or sad. Tonight I'm not either. I'm just mad. Mad at Dabo. He is better than this. Instead of hiring men who are good at the job he promoted his buddies. This has to change.

DJ is picked and it is taken back for six. That will be the knockout punch. ND leads 28-0.

Outcoached, outplayed, whatever you want to call it. This is bad football.

Will Shipley scores from a yard away with the quick snap. Tigers will avoid the shut out, trailing 28-7 with 10:14 to play in the game.

This is as ugly as I've seen Clemson look in a loooong time.

ND adds another TD, this time with Michael Mayer. Irish lead 35-7 late in this one.
BradyH

Hopefully Dabo will learn from this game.

DJ is decent but not great.
Coordinators need to be proven not just good ole boys.
Any football team can win on any given day.

DJU connects with Joseph Ngata for the touchdown. ND leads 35-14.

Irish just recovered the onside kick and will be able to run this out.

Clemson's 14-game winning streak is snapped as the Irish dominate the Tigers, 35-14.

A tough night for Clemson all around -- definitely one where you have to examine everything, which is surprising after a bye week. Tigers will look to bounce back next Saturday afternoon against Louisville in Death Valley. Kick is at 3:30
