N.D. outgained Clemson by 140 yards! that was ... actually ... a legit performance.

ND also out-turnovered Clemson by 4-1.  That might have had something to do with it.

This is why despite the fact that I always enjoy every und loss - and general misery - I don't really like the outcome of this game. und actually looks rather capable (the outgaining by 140 part) but loses stature for our match up. In addition, going forward, und gets the advantage of the players-not-getting-full-of-themselves effect for being undefeated.

[And I am pretty sure that hyphens between six consecutive words is entirely grammatical.]

I want Notre Dame to have at least two losses this year (including to us).  I don't want them to be "in the conversation" for a playoff spot.  Sure, for our purposes, it'd be better if they had been beaten by USC, but as you point out, I won't bemoan any UDFG loss.
