- Irish snap Tigers’ 36-game regular-season winning streak
- Notre Dame earn first victory over a No 1 team since 1993
Kyren Williams had a three-yard touchdown run in the second overtime and No 4 Notre Dame shut down top-ranked Clemson with a couple of sacks to seal a 47-40 victory Saturday night, the Fighting Irish’s first victory over a No 1 in 27 years.
Clemson (7-1, 6-1) had won 36 straight games and had not lost to an Atlantic Coast Conference team since 2017. The Fighting Irish (7-0, 6-0), playing in the ACC only because of the pandemic, snapped both streaks and sparked fans to storm the field in a celebration that most definitely did not meet the CDC’s social-distancing guidelines.

So it’s ok for fans to storm the field but not ok at the same time to have fans??? I’m confused ♂️
