ND-Clemson about to kick off.

Havoc rate, explosive plays, and time of possession are my keys to the game.

Hoping for a good one

Play for the FG, then that can happen

7-0 ND

1 and 10 at the Clemson 24

ND has to be careful with these cross dog blitzes so they don't get caught

That will end the half

ND going in with the 14-0 lead, just as well expected

Big 30 minutes left to go

ND getting into it a bit with CLemson

Walker Parks pushed down Jayson A at the end of the half. That should get him ejected, not sure if the refs saw it

1 and 10

DJ U is starting the half.

Pyne scrambles and had Lenzy open on the sideline, but overthrew him

2 and 10

Sideline warning to ND, Freeman was yelling at the refs for the high hit on Pyne

Helmet to helmet hit is now under review. I think it should be called, but Terry McCauley says no. Good thing he's about 50/50 on the year so who knows.

They say no targeting. Seemed like a BS no call, but what can you do.

Tyree inside gets about 5

3 and medium

Tried a screen to Thomas, but Clemson was on it. Only got a few

ND could go for it, but smart to punt it

1 and 10

Check to Shipley gets about 7

Sprint out gets the first

1 and 10

Tried to fit it in to the TE, rocked by Ramon Henderson. Incomplete. Clean hit

They are reviewing it. Clean hit so no way this is targeting. And it took them two seconds to determine it wasn't

2 and 10

2nd and 7

PA leaked out Mayer and that's the ball game. Touchdown Irish

Quick to Ngata to start the drive, gets about 7

Then another quick to the sideline gets the 1st

This is just garbage time now. ND just giving them underneath and letting the clock run
