When Clemson and Notre Dame face off in the 83rd Cotton Bowl Classic on Dec. 29, as part of the College Football Playoff Semifinals, it will make just the fourth meeting between the two programs.
The Tigers have a 2-1 edge in the previous three meetings, but those three games were classics.
In 1977, Joe Montana rallied the Irish from a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to beat Clemson with a last-minute touchdown at Death Valley.
The Tigers returned the favor in 1979 in South Bend, rallying from a 10-0 halftime deficit with 16-unanswered points in the second half.
