Inside Look: Grading Clemson versus Notre Dame

Clemson dropped its first regular-season game since 2017 in a double-OT defeat at now-No. 2 Notre Dame, 47-40. We take a deeper look into the game with the help of Pro Football Focus:

Three standouts (offense)

Uiagalelei was among the Clemson offense's top performers for a second-straight start, where he equaled his grade from the BC win the previous week (74.6). Three of his four deep shots (20-plus yards) connected for 131 yards and a touchdown. On passes of 10-plus yards, Uiagalelei was 9-of-12 for 230 yards and two TDs. Notre Dame’s pressure did affect him when they did get to him, as the freshman connected on just two of six throws there for 38 yards, taking two sacks and throwing away two pass attempts.
