Ian Book and an Irish offense that had multiple NFL wide receivers and tight ends couldn’t get the ball moving to close that gap. A blocked extra point by Notre Dame and a missed kick by Clemson kept it a one-score game. Then, Clemson scored on a deep shot to Justyn Ross. First, Julian Love went down with an injury. The second quarter is where the game went sideways for Notre Dame. In the end, all the first quarter truly offered was an exchange of field goals. The ball supposedly touched out of bounds. Notre Dame had all the momentum and seemed more than capable of upsetting Clemson. Clemson would fumble on a kickoff return, with the ball improbably staying in-bounds and the Irish recovering. Book had a debatable fumble go Clemson’s way early, but the defense stiffened up. Notre Dame seemed to have the dogs to hang with Clemson. This is only the second time in history the Cotton Bowl Classic would feature two undefeated teams, and the Tigers are a 12-point favorite. The Tigers have a phenom at quarterback and a defensive line littered with NFL talent. Along with Alabama, they’ve been the picture of dominance for the past four seasons. Clemson and head coach Dabo Swinney await the Irish. On the other side is the elite of the elite. They got there on the strength of their defense and offensive line, the strength of most Brian Kelly coached Notre Dame teams.įor his part, Kelly is trying to shake off talk that he can’t win the big games, and that the elite coaches dominate him. Notre Dame’s first College Football Playoff game ever, and the closest they had been to a National Championship since 2012. It is a real College Football Playoff game. This stadium isn’t the real Cotton Bowl, which is located at the Texas State Fair in Dallas, but it is the real New Year’s Six game.
