NCAAF Social media reacts: Swinney and the Tigers pick up huge win over No.15 Notre Dame
Dabo Swinney and the Tigers needed to show the college football world that they could still win big games, and that is exactly what they did in their 31-23 win over No.15 Notre Dame.
It was obvious that Clemson (5-4, 2-4 ACC) needed a prove-it win. When a ranked Notre Dame team comes to Death Valley, you get an excellent opportunity to prove it. While it wasn’t a perfect win for the Tigers, both the offense and the defense did what they needed to for the team to pull off a big upset win.
With all the heat and noise surrounding the Tigers, social media had a big reaction to this win. Here is a look at how Twitter/X reacted to Clemson taking down Notre Dame.

Dabo becomes the winningest coach in Clemson history, the Tigers take down a ranked opponent, and Tyler in Spartanburg is in absolute shambles. https://t.co/DgnWPq50ik

Starting field position for ND after Clemson punts today:
14, 4, 7, 14, 7.
Super job by Aidan Swanson (with an assist by Cade Klubnik).

Sam Hartman finishes his career 0-5 against Clemson.
He’ll have to live with that the rest of his life with only his NIL money, his Wake degree, his awesome rib necklace and his incredible hair and good looks to comfort him.

What a week for Clemson. Starts off with Dabo going off on the radio on Tyler from Spartanburg. Ends with the Tigers beating ND and Swinney becoming the all-time winningest coach in program history with 166 wins.
I expect his pettiness level to be 1,000 in postgame presser.

Another interesting stat – Clemson wasn't called for a penalty today. Not one. I need to do some research to find out the last time that happened.

Notre Dame ran 19 plays for 41 yards in the fourth quarter. Just a clutch performance by the Clemson defense late.
(ND defense also played well, holding Clemson to 39 yards on 19 plays).
Neither team scored.
