CLEMSON – Defensive coordinator Wes Goodwin took time during the open date to perform a little self-scouting, but now rest time is over and he knows his defense will have to show up and play its most physical game of the season Saturday night in South Bend.
No. 5 Clemson takes on Notre Dame Saturday night at 7:30 pm (NBC) in venerable Notre Stadium. The Irish stand 5-3 overall but have won two in a row after a loss to Stanford in mid-October. Clemson was off last week after eight games to open the season, and Goodwin says he spent his time looking at the entirety of his defense.
