It’s uncertain whether Notre Dame is facing Clemson at the perfect or worst possible time. Clemson could either be spiraling further downwards or fiercely determined to recover.
This week promises to be full of intrigue, making it one of the most captivating weeks of the season.
Despite their 4-4 record, Clemson remains a team with immense talent. In fact, ESPN’s FPI still considers them one of the top 20 teams in their overall rankings after Week 9.
