Notre Dame has completed an undefeated regular season and now face their first and perhaps only conference championship appearance in program history.
Dabo Swinney and the Clemson Tigers were perfect outside their stumble in South Bend, and will bring a few players to Charlotte who weren’t on the field for that game.

The Irish will need to be sharp to overcome these gains for Clemson, and we have the stats to show how they can pull another upset.
