Not really. Clemson has a very good defense. ND hadn't played anything like it this year. That tends to snowball in a game like this, where once ND got behind they had to take chances, and against such a good defense that just doesn't work.

30-3 doesn't surprise you?  Would you have bet on that spread (-27)?  Not me.

No, obviously I wouldn’t have taken Clemson at -27, but that’s not the same as the result not surprising me.  I expected Clemson to win, and to do so comfortably (at least two scores).

The “red faced test” might be an industry term, though I did find it on wiki:

https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/red_face_test

Basically, if you can make an assertion with a straight face, and without your face turning all red, whatever you are saying passes the red face test.
