The Notre Dame Fighting Irish were on the receiving end of some revenge in the ACC Championship game on Saturday, dropping a 34-10 decision to the Clemson Tigers. Last month’s wild matchup ended in a 47-40 double-overtime loss for the Tigers, but in this clash, it was the Irish who had trouble sustaining any sort of offense.
The disappointing performance saddled Notre Dame with their first loss of the season and now potentially puts their possible College Football Playoff berth on New Year’s Day in flux. Had the Irish been able to offer a competitive matchup, they likely would have solidified a spot.
