Notre Dame football: Top 5 moments from 2020 season
Notre Dame 47 Clemson 40 (2 OTs)
It had been a long time since Notre Dame beat an elite team, let alone the top-ranked team in the country. Put aside the way the season ended, put aside who Clemson was missing. Just enjoy it. The Irish beat the Tigers and it was a great moment for the program.
It proved that Notre Dame can play with those teams, even if they can’t consistently yet. The program is trending in the right direction, and this is a team in better shape now than it has been in over 25 years.
Beating Clemson was a monkey off the program’s back and a night of elation for fans. Hold onto that, and don’t forget the joy it brought you. There’s nothing wrong with taking these moments of joy in a season, and feeling happy about them, even if you lost the last game.
After all, most teams don’t win the last game, so don’t let it bother you when that final loss comes for you too.

Remember the sack to end the game in overtime, and remember Book’s heroics. Remember Williams’ long touchdown run, and remember JOK’s scoop and score. After all, this is a game that will go down in Irish history as one of the most important moments in the program’s modern history.
