GAME THREAD: Notre Dame Fighting Irish VS Clemson Tigers

It’s rivalry week here at OFD as the Notre Dame Fighting Irish take on the Clemson Tigers for the B.Y.O.G. Trophy. Is it a made up thing that we created out of thin air on the OFD Podcast? Maybe — but how else does a good rivalry trophy come into existence?

This series barely has a spoonful of history, but in the four games played since 2015, the end result has helped shape the entire national championship picture for those years. The ACC is crap, and Clemson needs ND to help solidify their schedule for a playoff run — and the Irish needed Clemson just as much while USC was down.

So... it’s a rivalry. No “big r,” or “little r,” designation is required. It is what it is until it isn’t. Notre Dame has no chance at any type of playoff run this year, but they do have the chance to wreck #4 Clemson’s hopes and dreams — sounds like fun.
