UHND.com - Notre Dame Football, Basketball, & Recruiting

Jackson made it feel like Baltimore could score every time they got the ball. Lawrence will really open Clemson's offense up because he does a great job with the read option. If the Irish key on Etienne he'll keep it and be a first down machine. If Notre Dame's secondary starts cheat up he's going downtown and those receivers are no joke. Cleveland didn't have a deep threat because their receivers can't seperate. A short passing game and good running game kept the clock moving and away from Baltimore. Notre Dame's receivers don't seperate either but they are big and strong. Kelly can go deep a few times but Book rolling out and hitting shorter passes is just a higher percentage. The O-line and Williams have to make it happen. In this game Notre Dame can't afford a single turnover. Clemson will feed off of it and blow the game open. The Irish can win but this isn't the same Clemson team that came to South Bend.
