ND offense. Compared to Clemson offense.

Clemson 7 games 546 plays 3556 yards 6.51 yds/ply 40 Touchdowns 508 yards per game.
Ntr ### 6 games 428 plays 2623 yards 6.13 yds/ply 25 Touchdowns. 437 yards per game.

Keep in mind they have only played(sarcasm warning) "lowly ACC teams too"! Except one game against a very much rebuilding South Florida who I believe played their 1st game here vs ND(not sure on that). Just ACC opponents and their stats aren't as gaudy! Still good; but nothing to write home about.

I think we rise to the occasion. Circle the wagons and show college football Clemson is bigger than one or 5 players we will be without. On the Road no less!

I am more interested to see if:

1 ND's passing defense is up to the challenge. DJ looked sharp against an average passing D. ND (on a stat level) is supposedly as good as us. They actually give up fewer passing TDs but also fewer steal fewer INTs.

2: Our run defense is up to their rushing attack. I think they are going to try and play low and slow. ND is actually ranked higher in their Rush D than us, but allows more yards per carry and faced more pass happy offenses. They do not want Book getting rushed.

Louisville was the most athletic team they have faced - they struggled with Louisville. Pittsburgh game got away from the Panthers b/c they didn't have their starting QB. In their case, their back up isn't an elite 5 star guy like DJU. Pitt also is "stubborn about playing man to man" and stacking the box. Knowing that - you use it against them. Book had a nice day against Pitt!
FSU game looks like the 2nd qtr happened and FSU didn't show up after leading going into the 2nd 17-14. ND scored 21 points and it was pretty much over after that. That was also the game FSU put in the new QB I think.

They can beat us if we aren't on! If we are on our game they have no shot! Not at all. That is not just from the stats mentioned above - but also other game stats and having watched portions of their games.
