Welcome to Irish Illustrated overtime.

I'm Tim O'Malley with Tim Priester of Irish Illustrated, John Bryce of Football Scoop.

And gentlemen, I think this is our ninth post-game gathering.

And unfortunately, we've been third with an angstridan fan base because Clemson's defense won the day.

Notre Dame special teams and offense contribute to losing it.

In the end, it was 3123 Clemson, and 3123, for I believe John Bryce pointed out, about 21, the final 21 game minutes,

Notre Dame certainly had chances in terms of possessions to come back and tie this game.

Yeah, the last six possessions, 24 snaps of the football, 56 yards, four punts, interception, lost the football on downs.

The day started after Nordheim's field goal, the day was pretty miserable for Notre Dame.

And although they threatened at times, you know, and cut it to eight a couple times,

and they were one drive away and two-point conversion from being back in it.

But, yeah, I really didn't understand what the plan was offensively other than chipping away like you did against Ohio State.

But the difference was that in this game,

you were trailing by 24-6 at one point,

whereas early in the second half against Ohio State,

they were down by three.

So the circumstances were much different,

but too many veteran-nordidant players did not answer the bell today.

Completely agree.

Just wasted opportunities early in the game.

Again, red zone field goals instead of touchdowns

and inability to answer.
