Notre Dame Football: How to watch the ACC Championship Game
By Brad Weiss
The Notre Dame football team takes on the Clemson Tigers for the ACC title on Saturday, and here is all the game information you need.
The Notre Dame football team will look to lock up the ACC title on Saturday, as they travel to North Carolina to take on the Clemson Tigers inside Bank of America Stadium. The Irish will be looking to beat the Tigers for the second time this season, after a shocking double-overtime victory against Clemson back in November.
To do so, they will have to find a way to stop Trevor Lawrence, the consensus No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, and a player who missed the first meeting. In addition to Lawrence, the Tigers were also missing multiple starters on the defensive side of the ball, so this is not the same Clemson team from a month and a half ago.
With that said, Notre Dame and Ian Book have enough talent to beat the Tigers no matter who lines up across from them in the ACC title game, and they can prove that on Saturday.
Here is how to catch all of the action:
Who: Notre Dame Fighting Irish vs. Clemson Tigers
When: Saturday, December 19, 2020
Time: 4:00 PM ET
Where: Bank of America Stadium, Charlotte, North Carolina
Television Station: ABC
Live Stream: FuboTV
In the last meeting, the Irish were able to neutralize Clemson star running back Travis Etienne, the ACC’s all-time leading rusher and a first-round prospect as well. Etienne had less than 30 yards rushing against the Irish back in November, and while he had five catches out of the backfield, Notre Dame was able to minimize his big-play ability.
This has the potential to be another instant classic between these two teams, as a win for Clemson likely lands them in the College Football Playoff, whereas Notre Dame is probably already in. For Book and the Irish, the goal is to go into the CFP with an unbeaten record, and they can make another huge statement on Saturday.
