Clemson got the big win it’s been looking for all season on Saturday.
The Tigers jumped out to a 24-9 halftime lead on No. 15 Notre Dame and then stifled the Notre Dame offense in the second half after the Irish cut the lead to eight for a 31-23 win.
It looked like Clemson was going to simply run out the clock after Sam Hartman airmailed a pass over the middle that was intercepted with 1:58 to go.
However, RB Phil Mafah fumbled the ball on second down and gave the ball back to the Irish for another chance for a game-tying TD and two-point conversion.
