Clemson has had 16 days to prepare for the Notre Dame contest, the longest layoff for any Tiger team during a season since 1918.
Clemson has an opportunity to knock off the winningest program in college football history Saturday. The Tigers have already defeated seven of the 20 winningest teams (a total of nine times), all in the last five years under Head Coach Dabo Swinney.
