Notre Dame-No. 5 Clemson: FIW staff predictions as Irish attempt to upset Tigers

What do you think happens Saturday night in South Bend?

Notre Dame is coming off one of their two best wins of the year and welcomes a Clemson squad that checks-in fourth in the initial College Football Playoff rankings that were released earlier this week.  It’s no secret that the Fighting Irish have struggled in their home venue this season so is having Clemson at home a good thing?

We will let you debate that as the best team Notre Dame hosts this year will be there Saturday night.  Will possible November showers mixed with unfriendly midwest winds have an impact on the play?  And can Notre Dame show up with the same energy we saw early against Syracuse?

Here is what the Fighting Irish Wire staff sees happening when Notre Dame takes on Clemson this Saturday night.
