History of Irish vs. ACC (football)


Sep 12, 2012, 9:48 PM

CLEMSON. All-time record: 1-1. Most-recent meeting: Danny Ford's No. 16 Tigers came to South Bend in 1979 for the regular-season finale and walked away 16-10 winners, helping coach Dan Devine to the least-successful season (7-4) of his six-year Irish tenure. Memorable meeting: The only other game in the series was a doozy, a matchup between Devine's No. 5 Irish and Charley Pell's No. 15 Tigers in 1977. Notre Dame pulled out a 21-17 road victory on its way to the 1977 national title, the narrowest margin in any of their 11 victories that season.

I remember there was a Clemson bumper sticker that said, Devine will whine in `79, Go Tigers!

No doubt.

They only agreed to play in the 1989 Kickoff Classic if the ACC opponent wasn't Clemson.

I was at that game on the ND side and remember Devine walking 10 yards on the field, picking up a flag and handing it to the official while telling him how to call the game.

ND's QB was Montana but their running back was a guy named Vegus Fergusion or something like that who was almost unstoppable if be got in the secondary.

Devine was an arrogant jerk but the ND fans were tolerable though as I recall. Big turn out from their fans.

At the 1977 game I saw Dan Devine flip off the Clemson crowd


Sep 13, 2012, 6:47 AM

It was a classless act, but it fired his players. I have hated ND ever since.
