The Clemson Offensive line is not great. They would have issues with the ND Defensive line. I think that's a battle ND wins and it puts the Clemson freshman QB under pressure all day, and Clemson is having issues running the ball lately. They scored in the mid 20's vs Syracuse and Texas AM and the ND defense is better. I think ND holds them to the low 20's/high teens. On the other side of the ball, their secondary is average at best. If the offensive line can give Book a little time, I think the passing game would have a field day. I think ND is a bad match up for Clemson and ND wins that game.
I think the key to the game will be Books quick out short game vs the Clemson defense. The ND offensive line needs to play a little better and ND wins.
Clemson - I think ND is a bad match up for Clemson. The ND defense is a problem for the Clemson offense
ses, but Long's play calling will need to be at its peak.
