CLEMSON,Michael Schmidt S.C. – And the game ball from Clemson’s victory against Notre Dame on Saturday goes to … Tyler from Spartanburg.

Unified by criticism from the outside and inspired by a renewed sense of determination from the inside, Clemson claimed a 31-23 victory against the 12^th-ranked Fighting Irish at Memorial Stadium on a day that began with frost-covered windshields and ended with fans basking in the glow of the Tigers’ most meaningful victory since, well, a 34-10 win against Notre Dame in the 2020 ACC Championship Game.
