How social media reacted to Notre Dame-Clemson: Tigers side
Even with anything significant out of reach for Clemson, there still is the mission to show it’s better than its record shows. The Tigers entered Saturday’s game against Notre Dame with the full intention of silencing their critics. They did just that, winning, 31-23, to improve to 5-4 and give Dabo Swinney the most victories in program history.
The Tigers had as much a target on their back as any team in college football. Not everyone understood all the reasons why they failed to live up to the preseason hype, but that didn’t stop all the mockery and criticism being thrown their way. Now, for at least one week, all of that can stop as they beat a team many probably felt they should have beaten before their downfall started.
Tigers fans might not celebrate a national championship this season, but they’ll be happy that their team rose to the challenge at hand. Here are a few Tigers fans expressing their happiness on social media:

Well, there you have it, kids. Some of us believed it could happen. Some of us gave up and gave in.

That’s a good win. Now, Clemson nation, celebrate the win as hard as we’ve criticized the loss.

Say it with me….Clemson controlled Notre Dame in a way the so called #1 team in 🇺🇸 couldn't dream..
Eat your heart out, Ohio State.
Now to turn this performance into a consistent, week in week out effort.
You now know Clemson has it in them.
What. A. Day. #ALLIN

Big win for Clemson recruiting purposes. Multiple ‘24 commits and ‘25 prospects in the building to witness that.
Death Valley sells itself on days like this.
