Clemson saw several historic streaks come to an end with its 47-40, double-overtime loss to Notre Dame in Saturday night’s top-four matchup in South Bend. The defeat ended a 50-game winning streak in Saturday games (longest in the FBS in the AP Poll era), a 36-game regular season winning streak (longest in ACC history and tied for fourth-longest in the FBS in the AP Poll era), a 28-game winning streak against conference opponents (tied for second-longest in ACC history) and a school-record 14-game road winning streak.
Despite the absence of star quarterback Trevor Lawrence (COVID-19 protocol) and several other key players due to injuries, the Tigers showed a lot of fight and heart in overcoming double-digit deficits on multiple occasions during the game and nearly handing the Fighting Irish their first home loss since the 2017 season.
