This is the way.

Notre dame will score 14 and give up about 30

Media will be talking how BC are world beaters and we're pretenders again, I can already see it. Lawrence makes a big difference, even on a team loaded with talent.

Dabo confirms Lawrence is out. ABC halftime crew says “Clemson will still be favored” and “Clemson wins big”.

Not gonna lie it will be very funny if ND somehow loses next week against the backup, and proceeds to make the ACC title game and beats T Law

Yeah that’s some bullshit. Mark Sanchez said Clemson wins big. Mark is a USC guy and just a hater.

You know what I say...no Lawrence and ND wins by 10+!

Fuck that.


Let’s See how the 5 star freshman QB from Hawaii/southern cal handles a night game on the road with 30-40 degree weather. With JOK, MTA, Kyle Hamilton, etc. BC doesn’t have those guys on defense.

As of now, weather forecast is looking warm for the game. Not expecting the cold to be a factor.

Not gonna lie, Lawrence's backup looked really good once he got some series under his belt and got rid of the butterflies. He was money 2nd half.

D.J. Uiagalelei 30/41 342 8.3 2 0
Ian Book 18/26 199 7.7 1 0

This is why they will win IMO. Play calling is better for Clemson and they have a better overall product between their QB and WRs than we do.

I think our D will even a lot of things out.

We do need a good QB/WR/TE game though if we are to win.

Sanchez calling ND out and he’s not wrong as much as far as that goes. ND is just too one-dimensional and that’s inexcusable for championship-caliber teams.

Hopefully they can use the disrespect as motivation but can anyone make a case that Book is a good enough passer to stress Venables & that defense?

Agree with the latter but our WR's don't get separation and Book never throws 50/50 balls to our tall guys. They are always out of bounds.

Yea, Book is risk averse. I really liked that 50/50 to Skow last week though. And I liked the back shoulder to Javon today. Need more of that/both. A little disappointed we didn't see JJ lol.

I too wanted to see JJ in action but it is typical of the BK years not to get the young athletes on the field. Hes the HC so I trust his judgement but its becoming harder to support as the years go on.

After the tweet and hoopla, I thought we'd see him at least in garbage time. IMHO, just silly not to get him some snaps/targets if able.

This is why kids like PJ leave because they don't get a true chance to show their skills. Some kids are game time players and we don't give our young kids an opportunity to show it.

Yep no reason to not let young kids get a little sunlight with the 4 game rule.
I don't think any sane person can argue that our WR group is too good to mess with...

I really don't think we can beat Clemson with out Lawrence with Book a QB. JMO

Book was missing on easy passes. He was late on passes luckily the WR's bailed him out. And today the O-line didn't give any QB in the country enough time to throw. The Wr's dropped balls they should have caught.
