College OT usually ends up with having to convert a 2, why not end the game right here?
 
He may if they score here in OT, Clemson finding a rhythm on offense Kelly may think that gives them the best chance.
 
Watch this guy shank the extra point after these endless delays.
 
Didn’t mean to shark the guy, got hurt right after I posted that.
 
What a massively dumb play by Clemson guy down near the goal line. Going to cost them this game.
 
It probably won't matter, but they marked that penalty off wrong. It was second and 11 at the 26. 10 back and 15 forward should have put the ball at the 21. They marked it right on the 20 for some reason. It's like the forgot that Notre Dame ran a play for a loss before the penalties.
 
Usually when a game goes to overtime you don't get a lot of commercials. In this game they've had as many commercials as during a regular quarter.
 
Might as well bring pressure, you know Clemson won’t throw it short.
 
And the unsaid fact is that this loss doesn’t really affect Clemson all that much at all, win out and they are still guaranteed a playoff spot.

If ND has a bunch of players out due to Covid, then they should be forced to play. So much for social distancing.


One thing that is abundantly clear at this point is that the Notre Dame student body doesn't think that social distancing rules apply to them. And I'm not just talking about with what happened after the game.

Will also say to the people claiming Jurkovec was better than Ian Book, “You cannot be serious!”

Well the quick and easy answer now after the fact is that they didn't go for 2 because they didn't need to do that.
 
Well it’s not like there is a pandemic and the Midwest are hot spots or anything


It's not even the midwest as a whole. Notre Dame has had serious outbreaks this fall. And talking to a guy whose daughter goes to Notre Dame at the game two weeks ago the students there just don't care. In the midst of the last outbreak some of the students organized a big party that hundreds of students went to. A couple weeks ago they attributed a rise in cases to unauthorized tailgate parties tied to one of the football games. They just don't seem to care.

Of course that doesn't make them unique either.

Good game. Terrible officiating. Longest 2 possession overtime ever. The usual crazy officials calls at ND stadium. ND better than I thought. Clemson 3rd stringers are a top 20 team.
