No. 3 Clemson blew past No. 2 Notre Dame, 34–10, winning its sixth consecutive ACC championship and possibly shaking up the College Football Playoff.
The first quarter was a quiet one, with only 10 combined points scored. Notre Dame took a small lead early with an opening field goal, however, Clemson's Trevor Lawrence threw a 67-yard touchdown to Amari Rodgers in the final minute of the quarter.
The Fighting Irish were never able to catch up as the Tigers got revenge for a November loss in South Bend that came without Lawrence.
The Tigers went on a 17–0 run in the second quarter, and pushed their lead to 31–3 with a single touchdown in the third quarter.
