Clemson Flashback: Tigers rout Notre Dame in Cotton Bowl
Clemson earned its third trip to the national championship game in four years on December 29, 2018. The second-ranked Tigers scored three touchdowns in the second quarter to cruise to an easy 30-3 victory over No. 3 Notre Dame in the 83rd Cotton Bowl Classic at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
The Tigers got two touchdown receptions from Justyn Ross, while Tee Higgins made the catch of the game as he tipped the ball to himself and then made a one-handed catch while getting his feet down in the back of the end zone.
The Higgins’ touchdown was a 19-yard score that came with two seconds left in the half. It gave Clemson a 23-3 lead at halftime.
