No. 1-ranked Clemson (7-0) heads to No. 4 Notre Dame (6-0) for an ACC showdown under the lights on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. on NBC.

Clemson's depth chart changed retroactively to slot Jake Venables at middle linebacker this week, while starters in defensive tackle Tyler Davis and linebacker Mike Jones Jr. who missed action last week are still on it. Sophomore Kane Patterson is listed as the backup for Venables in the middle.

DJ Uiagalelei is the starter at QB with Trevor Lawrence out for COVID-19 protocol, while Taisun Phommachanh is second-team and Hunter Helms, third team.
