I'm Tim Priester, and it is Clemson Week. Thursday of Clemson Week, Hurricane Joaquin is threatening to make things very interesting down in South Carolina

and on our flight down to that area.

But man, I've really been looking forward to this game, a tremendous game to analyze so many

different angles, some outstanding one-on-one matchups, some outstanding, you know,

positional matchups.

It looks like another close-scoring, low-scoring game like the previous Clemson games have been.

So, you know, just really looking forward to a great matchup of number 6, Nord A.

And number 12, Clemson.

Yeah, I mean, the weather, as much as we talk about the weather, and people ask, whose advantage is it when the weather's bad? Like, the weather could be a real issue. You know, this hurricane seems to be legitimate, even though they're not quite sure if it's going to hit ground or not. It was interesting, I tweeted out a story about the hurricane this morning, and somebody replied to, I think it must be a subscriber, because he had a split screen. He works at the Weather Channel, and he had the hurricane, Joaquin, graphic on one screen, on the other screen was my story about Isaac Rochelle and how he almost went to Clemson. Oh, the background? Yeah. Yeah. It was quite funny. So, yeah, I mean, it's definitely going to be part of the game. And, I mean, we were talking about before the show, you know, who does it affect more? I think it might affect the fans the most because who's going to be loud in the middle of a hurricane? You know, but Notre Dame this week, Tyler Lewittua, will he play, won't he play out of source? Tell me just this morning that he had not been cleared following a concussion. How significant is that? I don't really know, but it takes a piece away from Notre Dame's offense. I want to see how Justin Yun is. He's missed four kicks so far this year. Two of them have been extra points. To me, that's a real issue. Not necessarily going on the road in the environment, but just the kicker. I think Notre Dame has a question about its kicker right now that it was not expecting to have at all. The kicker in bad conditions. They're not trusting the holder with that. I mean, I don't know. The double tap is that big of a deal. And the operation has been, Kaiser kind of bobbled the missed extra point last week. But, I mean,

compared to the operation last year, it's been flawless. And so, I mean, I think that's on Justin

you. I think the weather, yeah, I think the weather helps Notre Dame here.

I normally just, people want to know who it helps,

and I don't think most instances helps one or the other.

But I do think it helps Notre Dame here, the running team.

Deshawn Watson, I think, you know, here's it.

Can you be sporadic when you're completing 74.4% of your passes?

You know, kind of an odd line of questioning to some of Notre Dame's players this week about

Deshaun Watson and his, quote, inconsistency. I was wondering what the problem happened to be.

He's been picked three times. He was picked in the first drive of Appalachian State in Louisville.

And I just, you know, I mean, I, if you can be an inconsistent 74.4%.

I think he kind of has been.
