(Sports Spectrum) The Clemson Tigers were dominant from start to finish in their 34-10 win over Notre Dame in the ACC Championship Game on Saturday, avenging a loss to the Fighting Irish earlier in the season.
The College Football Playoff committee rewarded the 10-1 Tigers the following day by giving them the No. 2 seed in the playoff and a date with No. 3 Ohio State. It will be Clemson’s sixth consecutive appearance in the playoff. Notre Dame also made the playoff as the No. 4 seed, along with No. 1 overall seed Alabama.
Junior quarterback Trevor Lawrence was once again the star for the Tigers. He torched the Fighting Irish defense to the tune of 412 yards of total offense — 322 yards and two touchdowns through the air, with 90 more yards and another score on the ground.
