Great sign. Irish represented.

I feel pretty confident about this game as long as they have more TO's than us.

Do you really want a tender knee playing on a sloppy field?

I thought that Kelly said he was full go all week, showing no lingering affects? (Asking not telling.)

If there were a game for BVG to dial down the blitzes, wouldn't it be tonight? Just keep everything in front of you

I think the idea is to cover the middle with the linebackers, keep people home, but let guys like Day, and Rochelle rip.

This may be a game where you see Jaylon off the edge and shooting the gap.

But isn't this a four man front kind of game. One where you can allow the d-linemen to get a little up field in their gaps, and use some pressure to disrupt timing. A lot has been made about Clemson's o-line, or lack thereof. If ND can get decent four man pressure, or excellent pressure and absolute disruption using five men, it will be a long night for Clemson.

IrishYJ is the third person I have heard that credibly cites the Clemson staff worrying about their o-line holding up!

Clemson fans must feel REALLY disrespected now... Poor guys.

I would expect Kelly to come out airing the ball out in the first half, if the weather allows it. I think he will want to get ahead early, and make Clemson into a one-dimensional offense. That plays into ND's hand. If Kelly does not take shots deep early, then I think that will be an indication that he has confidence that their defensive game plan will be successful enough to win the game.

ND wins if:

We score 30+ points.

Dry, we move the ball at will and drop 30 plus... Flood they can't hold onto the ball and we score 30 plus... All aboard!!!

Oh wait, I'm supposed to be a pessimist still because our board's emotionally weaker than ClemsonTom... I forgot....

I am nervous if they go super up tempo and Watson finds a rhythm. Not convinced our D is great without sub packages. Chance to prove me wrong today. Hopefully weather limits some of their ability to go up tempo.

I don't think so. Watson is NOT durable and once he gets hit he gets rattled. I would love to see some stuff get home and rattle him early. Now if ND can't get to him that obviously changes things.

Normally I would say the same. I just have bad visions of linebackers slipping on a blitz and leaving wide open room for Watson to run wild. This is also a day I'd love not to see Sheldon Day dropping back into coverage.

Watson is 10 months removed from surgery on a torn ACL. It's muddy. It's slick. It's cold. It's wet. He hasn't run much this year, and probably hasn't gotten hit like he could tonight. Let's make him feel it.
