The time for nitpicking every little bit about this game has come to an end. The Notre Dame Fighting Irish and Clemson Tigers are set to play the college football playoff semi-final in the Cotton Bowl, and once toe meets leather —so much of it won’t matter.

It’s the biggest game of the year for both teams and it’s the toughest game of the year for both teams. For Clemson, it’s a chance to continue to make a case for a dynasty type of classification. For the Irish, it’s a chance to continue to it’s path back to college football greatness.

With so much on the line, it will be important for Notre Dame to stay loose, upbeat, and determined. There is no room for angst, tight play, or hesitation. It’s all right there in front of them...

LET’S GOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
