Dec 19 | ACC Championship | Clemson

#2 for me.

TL vs our DBs has taken over #1.

I know they put up a butt load of passing yards against us last time, but there was a lot of hollow yards/drives. My fear is TL puts up the same amount of yards, but those yards are more meaningful.

Hope I'm wrong. We really need some more turnover luck this game again.

Honestly surprised they didn't try to attack Bracy over the top more often last time.

Perhaps Lea adjusted on the back end to prevent that, and that's why DJ threw a lot of underneath and intermediate stuff, but you know Clemson is dialed in on who they want to attack this time around.

(Of course, I'm sure Tommy is, too.)

I think we'll see a lot of was successful last go around, and different looks for the things that weren't so successful.

I just think TL will be more clutch on conversions, or less hollow on yards in general.

A good pass rush is the Kryptonite for any QB, even the studs like TL.

Hope the boys up front are ready to feast because we're going to need them too. You know you're not going to entirely shut down TL and CLemson's O, but I hope we generate enough pressure early and often to make him uncomfortable and get some key stops.

Then on O, we need to convert RZ opportunities into 6 pts instead of 3. What gives me hope is the # of pts we left on the field.

I guarantee this one is lower scoring than the previous, that's how rematches typically go, but we'll see.

Gotta get to the QB. Lawrence is simply not very good when pressured. Plain and simple. Can't wait til 2nd OT to register a sack. Need to close on opportunities early and often.

Rather than following the game plan from the last matchup with Clemson I would like to see a continuation of what ND did against UNC.

Liufau didn't even appear in the first Clemson game and was incredibly disruptive against UNC.

He was benched after giving up the first one.

Does Bracy really need to play Saturday?

We play a game in 2 days right? Screw recruiting hot takes and Lea's replacement talk. Lets talk about beating the fighting Dabos again!

Hope not. I know some think it makes our path easier, but I think that's short sighted. It'll go to 8, and there won't be any year that a great ND team doesn't get in easily

You say that, until ESPN starts stooping for 5 SEC teams to get in...

Better just to open it up to 16 spots! That would be more fun to watch anyway, talk about good football.

I'm a big fan of 8, and would be happy to stay IND forever if that happened. If not, I'm torn but open to the ACC. Lot's of benefits aside from an easier path. Of course some negs too.

If we stayed IND though, I'd like to see some scheduling changes to the norms. Dumping Stanford would be first on my list.

10 point dog. BK's comment. They must be chomping at the bit.

GO IRISH!

 

[Irishize]

BK bringing the heat on the CFP committee not ensuring families can attend games. Good for him.

Omg that video gives me chills. Gets me so hyped

 

[ShamrockOnHelmet]

This is really an inconsequential game. Loser is 4 and gets Bama, winner is 2 and gets an Ohio state. That’s all that’s on the line. So, meh...

Unless you’re an ND fan and want to avoid reliving the 2012/2018 national embarrassments. If ND isn’t competitive tomorrow...that will be the narrative....same old ND who found some fool’s gold when they upset Clemson w/ starting QB & 3 defensive starters out

 

[Irishize]

If Irish win this game and as a result win the ACC...everything else is gravy. Still want to win the semi & the whole enchilada but one step at a time and this is a step ND has never accomplished in the post-Holtz era.

They haven't accomplished this step since...the glaciers melted.

The guy only has two videos on his channel but they both bring the juice. This whole video is great, but the section starting at 4:20 with Lou's respect speech is pure heat.

The more I've talked to osu fans I do think there's a chance ND Clemson can stay 2/3.

Ball State. That trophy is Mucie’s. Congrsts

Eh, I don’t worry about ghosts.

They’re not ghosts...they’re facts that can only be erased by ND finally winning a post season game of consequence.

Facts can’t be erased. They are things that happened in the past, that can’t be undone by anything this team does. They are ghosts of the past. Who cares.
