Yesterday we received news that Clemson star receiver and potential first round NFL Draft pick Justyn Ross won’t play in 2020 due to a congenital fusion that will require surgery and leave his future in football very much in jeopardy.
Obviously the sad news of this is the star player possibly not realizing his full potential on the football field all because of something he has no control whatsoever about.
I was curious what the odds-makers thought about the injury to Ross and if it changed the way Clemson was viewed at all.
Back when we looked over Notre Dame’s odds in seven games listed by BetMGM in April the Irish were a 7.5 point underdog against Clemson.
Checking back today we see that, well, not a lot has changed in that department whatsoever as Clemson is still listed as a 7.5 point favorite for the November 7 showdown at Notre Dame Stadium.

If you look at where Notre Dame has the biggest questions on defense you’d think this may matter a little bit more considering it’s a secondary that comes with virtually no experience playing together. However, if the Notre Dame front seven is unable to to take care of business up front it could just be a Travis Etienne show.
