Clemson Tigers at Notre Dame Fighting Irish: How to watch
By Brad Weiss
Notre Dame takes on Clemson in a matchup of top-5 teams on Saturday night, and here is how you can catch all of the action.
All eyes will be on Notre Dame Stadium on Saturday night, as the No. 4 Fighting Irish welcome the No. 1 Clemson Tigers to town. Clemson will be without star quarterback Trevor Lawrence, the presumed No. 1 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, but true freshman D.J. Uiagalelei stepped in against Boston College last week and threw for over 340 yards.
For Notre Dame, they will need their own quarterback to step up in a big way against Clemson, as Ian Book can put a signature win in the books with a win against the No. 1 team in the country. Book will have to rely heavily on his talented offensive line, and star running back Kyren Williams, who already has 600 rushing yards this season.
In a game that should be won in the trenches, Notre Dame has the veteran to knock off a team starting a quarterback making his second collegiate start, but they are going to have to play a near-perfect game to do so.

This is the only game against a ranked opponent on the schedule, so a win on Saturday would go a long way in keeping them in the discussion of being one of the four College Football Playoff teams this year. Feeding Williams and controlling time of possession will be paramount in this one, as the Fighting Irish look to beat their first No.1-ranked team since 1988.
This game is only a 5.5-point spread in Clemson’s favor, so expect this one to go down to the wire inside Notre Dame Stadium. Even without Lawrence, this is a wildly talented Clemson team, but Boston College had them on the ropes early last weekend, and the Fighting Irish have the players to not let them off on Saturday night.
