The first time these two teams met in November, it was Notre Dame who set the standard of play. They scored on the first snap, they followed with another scoring drive, and then another and then another. They matched Clemson’s run of good play in the first half, taking a 23-13 halftime lead. (One less point than Clemson took to halftime yesterday.) One thing they did not do, which they had the chance to do, was bury the Tigers. They kicked field goals when they could have scored touchdowns. This kept Clemson in touch, and the Tigers, as they do, came around to matching Notre Dame and eventually took the lead.
