“Wasn’t Notre Dame’s schedule tougher? Clemson had some squeakers from so-so opponents.”
Yes. Clemson’s first game was against Furman (who??!!) while ND played Michigan.
Clemson barely got by Syracuse who ND beat easily.
Come on. That is not a good comparison.
The very talented Syracuse quarterback had to be helped off the field early in the first quarter of the Notre Dame game and never returned.
The following week that Syracuse quarterback threw six touchdown passes.
Michigan? The ones that lost 41-15 to # 10 Florida?
That Michigan?
