It’s the one that got away, and the one game that Steve Fuller still wishes had finished with a different outcome.
Clemson plays host to Notre Dame this Saturday in a nationally-televised matchup on ABC, a battle of two teams ranked in the Top 11 who have hopes of making the College Football Playoff. The meeting is just the third all-time between the two schools on the gridiron, with the first occurring on November 12th, 1977 in Memorial Stadium when a pair of top 15 football teams met in Clemson's Death Valley.
A fifth-ranked Notre Dame football team led by quarterback Joe Montana, defeated a 15th-ranked Clemson team led by quarterback Steve Fuller, 21-17.
