DALLAS, TX – No. 2 Clemson is a double-digit favorite over No. 3 Notre Dame, and the Irish say they love the underdog role.
Clemson and the Irish tangle in the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Saturday, and Notre Dame is an underdog for only the second time this season and the first time since the opener hosting Michigan (3 points; won 24-17).
Not only are they an underdog - but by 12.5 points as of Wednesday evening. Are the Fighting Irish feeling disrespect?
“We're honestly not paying much attention to that,” Notre Dame free safety Alohi Gilman said.
