Key No. 3: Hold on to the ball & win the turnover margin

If Clemson wants to beat Notre Dame this Saturday, the Tigers need to do one simple thing: Win the turnover margin.

Find a way to force an interception from Ian Book at some point in the game and make them pay for it. On the other side, don’t turn the ball over.

The best thing the offense can do right now is not turn the ball over and give Notre Dame any kind of momentum. It’s better to punt than to throw an interception or fumble the ball away.

Simply take care of the football and you win the game.

Clemson football and Notre Dame will kickoff at 7:30 p.m. E.T. live on NBC.
