Thomas isn’t the starter this year coming back from covid/strep just before the season. He’s a depth piece and they’ve been trying to get him a few more snaps a game lately. The big roster issues for Clemson is Tyler Davis, Mike Jones, and Jamie Skalski all possibly being out.Under normal circumstances I think Clemson beats ND by 17 unless numerous bounces went NDs way. Without Lawrence it is a toss up. BC got the bounces and that is why they stayed close. But BC cannot match ND on offense or defense. The two players out for targeting will hurt Clemson more than ND. The safety for ND (maybe he was a cornerback) shares the position with two others. The DL (Thomas) for Clemson is an NFL caliber player and will be missed for a half. His replacement is probably good but young and ND will test that side of the line early.
