SOUTH BEND - The same transparency that sent fellow quarterback Drew Pyne racing for the transfer portal elicited barely more than a shrug from injured incumbent Tyler Buchner.

No. 4 Clemson picked up a fairly short number in Saturday's 7:30 p.m. game at Notre Dame. Why are the undefeated Tigers just a 3.5-point favorite, according to FanDuel Sportsbook, over a 5-3 squad?

Once every three years, Notre Dame's chances of making a New Year's Six bowl are greatly diminished by the planned rotation of the College Football Playoff semifinals.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. - Joe Alt may never have a chance to celebrate a Senior Day.
