There O is not designed to score 40+ points but their O-line is big and playing as a unit. Book seems to find a way when he's in trouble. We'd love to have #11 and/or #87.
The D reminds me of the 2018 Tiger D.
They will be tough to beat.

We will smack them around in the ACC Championship and win by at least 14 if all players are healthy.

dominate this Notre Dame team? Even if we had all the players back including Ladson, Ngata, Davis, Skalski, and the rest?
That just seems delusional to me. At this point it is wishful thinking.

You don’t believe TL alone is not enough to create a win. Book has been very lucky That will end

I honestly think we are a significantly better team at full strength, but the longer this season goes, the more skeptical I am that we will see our team at full strength. It just seems like every week we get one back and another goes down.

But their defense doesn't compare to our 2018 defense.

Most athletic ND team in decades. NFL O and D linemen, NFL receivers and TE, and RB would start anywhere in nation. Healthy Tigers beat them but this ND team is no fraud. They are loaded. This version of Book is a different dude. They are legit top 4 team.

UNC is good, but far from great, and ND is having to pull stuff out there rear end To move the ball and their last touchdown was helped by multiple penalties.
If we are healthy in the ACCCG we will kick their butt!
We could and should have won that game earlier this year in South Bend by multiple touchdowns.

ND beat us. Obviously they're a very good football team. Anyone that says any different just isn't paying attention.

Do you not realize how many players we had out hurt by the end of the game? Not to mention all the starters that we played without? Not to mention two games in a row where the other team got a touchdown because of a bad exchange between DJ and ETN because those two are not in sync with the running game?
Clemson could and should have won by at least 14 points earlier this year. I’m willing to bet if we are healthy going into the ACCCG we will be favored by 10+.

Of course we all know we were missing 3 starters on defense, and TL on offense. We were definitely not at full strength. So what?
Clemson is a deep football team and anyone at all that beats us should unquestionably be recognized as a very good football team.
You can't make excuses. We lost. The reasons we lost are weak excuses. People were hurt? Players had uncharacteristic mistakes? The refs had it out for us? Doesn't matter. The scoreboard is what matters.
Luckily for all of us, we get another bite at that apple. We control our own destiny. If we win out, we'll see ND in the ACCCG. That loss to ND doesn't matter. What does matter is how we respond to that loss. Excuses are for the weak. Revenge is more my dish.

I pray that Clemson figured out how to run the football and pressure their QB.

To me, it’s not our O or our D. It’s our inability to put either of them on the field. We have to get healthy!

They played a badly injured Clemson team into a double overtime to win. So I'm thinking that should mean that Clemson is the better team over ND, or any other team in the ACC when healthy. That's the way that I see it, and if our D would have been at full service, Book would have been in a hurry all game, Go Tigers!!!

ND IS GOOD, but i really dont think they are better than Clemson. No excuses for the loss. You play what you bring and it took a pick six and a fumble return along with 2OT' to beat Clemson. Both teams at full strenght should be good!

Can't wait to play then again. They're defense is not that great. You have to stop the tight ends and the drag route across the middle on offense.
