2020 SCC Championship: #3 Clemson vs #2 Notre Dame | CBS Sports HQ

No. 3 Clemson has likely punched its ticket to the College Football Playoff for a sixth-straight season after winning its sixth-straight ACC Championship, taking down No. 2 Notre Dame 34-10 in the conference title game on Saturday in Charlotte.

The rematch of the double-overtime thriller from early November packed all of the intrigue and high stakes you could ask for in the first ACC Championship Game between top-five opponents, but the result was hardly in doubt after a 24-0 run to close the first half put Clemson in the driver's seat. Notre Dame came out of the gate strong as its first three drives all got inside the Clemson 40-yard line, and the defense picked off Trevor Lawrence on Clemson's first offensive possession. But the Fighting Irish had only three points to show for that impressive start due to a missed chip-shot field goal and a turnover on downs in scoring position.

Clemson's defense flipped the script on Ian Book and the Fighting Irish offensive line with relentless pressure and terrific execution in key situations, holding Notre Dame to just 3 of 12 on third down while totaling six sacks and 10 tackles for loss.

But the story of the game was Lawrence and his value to Clemson's success. After sitting out the loss in South Bend, Lawrence threw for 322 yards on 25-of-36 passing with two touchdowns and added 90 rushing yards and another score on 14 attempts. Lawrence makes excellence look easy, so it can be discombobulating when he's effortlessly throwing 67-yard or 33-yard touchdown passes to take over in one of the biggest games of the year.
