Although still favored by Vegas, Tiger fans knew Clemson going on the road to face a Top-4 opponent without QB Trevor Lawrence, DT Tyler Davis, LB James Skalski, and LB Mike Jones would be an extremely tall task. In the end, it was only slightly too much for Clemson. Several starters left with injuries during the game – including both safeties, a defensive lineman, a cornerback, and an offensive lineman – yet the Tigers pushed the Irish to double overtime. Losing is no fun, but the Tigers are well-positioned to earn a revenge game against the Irish in Charlotte on December 19th.
