I will say that, for the first time in quite a while (like 20+ years), I think this ND team is really damn good and is still a legitimate contender for the title. This isn't our 2012 squad, and we've got NFL talent all over the roster.

Clemson beat our asses up front for the first half of that game. Their front seven is pretty fearsome. ND's offensive line is nothing to sneeze at.

Clemson looked more talented to me than SC (with a few exceptions like Adoree Jackson and Ronald Jones - Clemson doesn't have anyone like that).

So count me in the "Clemson is legitimate" column.

I will say - I'd love a rematch. Hopefully we won't be -3 on turnovers again, and Clemson wouldn't have more than twice as much time to prepare for the game as we did the second time around.

Lot of teams I'd rather play than Notre Dame, yal are legit team. I do think we would have opened up that passing game a looooot more if it wasn't a monsoon and would have a lot of success against yal, but I also know yal got a ton of speed at WR that had success on the crossing routes too.

Like you mentioned, our front seven is savage. The young OL is improving each week, and Watson continues to get back to last season form with each snap.
