Notre Dame Fighting Irish Game Notes
Notre Dame starting tight end Mitchell Evans is out for the season with a torn ACL. This is a big loss for the Fighting Irish as Evans led Notre Dame in catches (29) and receiving yards (422) this season. In his place, Notre Dame will likely elevate sophomore tight end Holden Staes.
Notre Dame running back Audric Estime was excellent in his team’s 58-7 blowout win over Pittsburgh last weekend. In that contest, Estime ran for 114 yards and 3 touchdowns. Audric Estime is tied for second in the FBS with 12 rushing touchdowns in 2023.

Notre Dame vs. Clemson Betting Prediction
Clemson might be on the verge of imploding here. They lost a winnable game on the road to NC State last weekend 24-17 and lost to Miami on the road 28-20 the week before that. The roster talent just isn’t the same as it was for the Tigers in their powerhouse days, and their quarterback, Cade Klubnik, isn’t nearly as good as Deshaun Watson and Trevor Lawrence were before him.
Notre Dame is trending in the right direction. After losing on the road to Louisville on October 7th, the Irish smashed USC at home 48-20 then blew out Pittsburgh in South Bend 58-7 last weekend. Irish QB Sam Hartman was only sacked once in those two wins and posted a QBR above 70 in both victories. I think Notre Dame is simply the better team in this matchup, and that’s why I’m laying the points with the Irish on the road this weekend.
