The game was really decided by 1 thing

And they were effective doing it. They didn’t need to throw it 25 times.

Whether you are successful passing or not. You still need the threat of the pass to keep 9 out the box and open up running lanes. Its all about numbers in the box.

60 is a lot. Navy averages 59 attempts per game. Thats the most in the nation. To say Clemson didnt commit to the run. Doesnt make sense to me.

if we had scored in the 2nd half they would have had to run a lot less

Yup and ND is going to do the same. Run over and over with their stable of backs and play action to the TE.

yeah, and ND will have to deal with a loud crowd that Clemson didn't have to deal with. Totally different game at the Dome. Plus, the lack of qb play will also be different.
