What’s Going To Happen
Five in a row and six times since 2011. Clemson doesn’t just win ACC Championships, but it does it brutal fashion.
The 2015 45-37 win over North Carolina was a ton of fun, and the 42-35 win over Virginia Tech in 2016 was a fight, but it won the last three by a combined score of 142-30, or an averaged of 47-10.
It won’t be that bad.
Notre Dame really is that good. The style, the lines, the experience, the – sorry, I despise this word, but – physicality, and the chip on the shoulder will matter. This isn’t 2019 Virginia, 2018 Pitt, or 2017 Miami – the 2020 Irish could absolutely win this.
This will be a fight through the first half, there will be points when it looks like Notre Dame really will win, and then Trevor Lawrence will be Trevor Lawrence.
Clemson still won’t be able to run the ball, but the defensive front will have a stronger game than the first time around. Notre Dame toughed its way to over 200 yards on the ground – it was the only time all year the Tigers allowed more than 150.
The Clemson defensive front will show up, especially on a few late drives to close it out and secure a spot in the College Football Playoff. Forget the final score – the Irish will look good enough to get the No. 4 spot.
