One thing I would like to see this game, is Clawson work the refs more after bad calls. You could argue that its unseemly or makes the coach come off as a complainer, but it can have the tendency to make the refs make certain calls they wouldn't otherwise.
There is a reason that baseball and basketball coaches are constantly jawing at the refs, they are trying to make the refs feel like they are not calling the game equally, resulting in make up calls. The of-fsides and the late hit against Dortch, had they been called could have really impacted the game, but Clawson doesn't press the issue with the refs. Even if Clawson got an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, I would find it worth it, knowing that he was pushing the refs. The refs this weekend will be officiating a nationally televised game, with a blue blood program, I would predict a tendency to make border line calls in favor of the Irish.
Unfortunately I see this game playing out much like BC, our defense contains the run, but we make a mediocre throwing QB look like a first rounder. Couple exciting plays, Wake keeps it close, but the Irish pull it out in the end. Which is unfortunate, because a win against a team like ND has the ability to motivate a team the rest of the season.
