Irish Breakdown

Part two of this weekend's Notre Dame Midweek Rundown looks at the game wreckers that have the biggest impact in the game. When Notre Dame has beaten Clemson they have had game wreckers stepping up in all three phases. I discuss who those players could be for Notre Dame, and for Clemson.

In part one of this week's Notre Dame Midweek Rundown I take a deep dive into the matchups that matter most between the Irish and Clemson. I look at the areas where Notre Dame is built in very similar fashion, both with the strengths and weaknesses, and then dive into areas where Notre Dame must control important matchups.

The CFB All-America team was joined by Bryan Driskell of Irish Breakdown to discuss the first batch of College Football Playoff rankings for 2023. We go bottom to top and discuss many teams, including Notre Dame being too low, Air Force not getting enough love, the SEC bias that has Tennessee way too high and why Michigan should - or shouldn't - be in the Top 4. We also discussed whether the 12-team playoff is a good thing.

Is this week's Clemson matchup the ultimate "Prove It" game for Marcus Freeman and Notre Dame? Irish Breakdown starts the show with that discussion. We also discuss Sam Hartman's play this season and have comments from Freeman on QB2 Steve Angeli and if there is benefit in him playing in higher leverage game situations.

On paper the matchup against Clemson should result in an Irish victory, but Notre Dame will need to be on top of its game against a dangerous Tiger squad.

Notre Dame's 2023 season will be largely viewed by how the team finishes down the stretch, which makes the Clemson game a vitally important game. If the Irish are going to continue building as a program this game is a must-win. While true for 2023, there are even bigger picture implications to this game for the Irish.
