ARLINGTON, TX – Opportunistic.
Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly credited Clemson with making the plays it needed to in order to win Saturday’s Cotton Bowl, saying that the Tigers took advantage of the loss of Julian Love to pick on the Irish secondary.
Trevor Lawrence passed for 327 yards and Justyn Ross has six catches for 148 yards (an average of 24.7 yards per reception) as the Tigers routed the Irish 30-3. Love, Notre Dame’s star corner, went out early with a head injury and the Tigers made short work of the Irish secondary in rolling to the win.
