Notre Dame's biggest playmaker wide receiver Will Fuller has 22 receptions for 454 yards and six touchdowns. Clemson's Artavis Scott has 20 catches for 188 yards and two touchdowns this season as most of his catches have been short, intermediate routes.

Note: Notre Dame has played one more game than Clemson so the individual offensive stats will be a little skewed towards the Irish.
