Holy crap, that Clemson Tom guy is definitely full of it. "Notre Dame players are talking so much trash." Manufactured BS on the part of Clemson is more like it. I hope we come out and smack them in the mouth and take it to them. It was so much fun watching that Miami dude eat crow after he posted basically the same exact video in 2012.

Last time I was so stoked for a game was last year's MeChicken game. I'm 47 and have butterflies. I want CJ to be in full beast-mode and see our OL flexing their arms after every play!!!!!

This guy is a hoot. I hope Kelly shows that video in the pregame meeting.

So let's get serious here, gang... If it's raining like crazy, will the Clemson team still run up to the rock? Seems pretty dangerous to me.

Walking down the hill seems so lame by comparison to their usual entrance. Crowd should be more subdued than normal with the weather, so I guess it's kind of fitting that their entrance will be as well.

I think the difference in this game is the offensive lines ability to finish blocks, especially at the second level. Their linebackers are built for speed, not power. They'll try to use athleticism in space to shed and our offensive line will use technique to counter. I believe we win that battle and their LBs get frustrated/tired. They'll slow down a step and blow gap assignments to avoid engaging. It's over at that point. CJ's good - he's going to see those lanes and have himself some fun out there.

Plus consistent 15+ mph winds. Probably be low scoring, maybe with a late flurry of points in the 4th. Im thinking 20-14ish.

You talking about Faux Harry, right? That may or may not be run by one of IE's faithful...

that's a pretty big assumption. i was at MSU in 2006--cold and driving rain. It just encouraged the fans to be drunk and loud.

It's gonna hurt Clemson a lot more than ND IMO. I'm willing to bet Clemson relies much more on their passing game than ND

Yeah, you're probably right about that...hope anyways.

Plus Kizer being a big man probably has really big hands, very helpful in this type situation. How big is the Watson cat that plays QB for the enemy?

i cant read lips. but he wore that tie for clemson is that the jest(sic) of it?

This is a conundrum for the stickler in me. I have the feeling that you meant "gist," [essence] but "jest" [joke] has a certain appropriate fit ...

I believe [mostly heart, not brains] that, if we block Boulware's butt off, the offense will roll. He is a high-octane high-risk wild man.

On defense, I believe [on the same unsubstantial grounds] that if we stuff Gallman [or whatever his name is], the Clemson offense cannot score BIG as they have no true deep threat.

Two "little" things, please.

... and no turnovers nor lousy punts.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that some player, hopefully one of theirs, slips and falls at a critical juncture resulting in a huge play, that will be the difference.

Yeah, I think Lucky is confused. Pretty sure that came from Faux Harry, but that account is definitely gold. Not as much quantity as Faux Pelini, but more quality for sure.

I agree Boulware is a play maker but I think he's overrated. I think he gets more than he can handle on Saturday.

Good grief. Wilbon just took a segment on ND-Clemson to rip on subway alum, and of course mention their last home loss was to Northwestern. He is a joke.

*Kornheiser was funny. He said if they win, Weis will get an extension, BK will be Canonized, and they don't have to play any more games to make the playoffs.

Wilbon is incapable of evaluating the program objectively. He thinks we're racist.
