The old saying states that everything is bigger in Texas.
If that's true, that includes the stage.
A lot is at stake on Saturday when Notre Dame takes on the Clemson Tigers in the Cotton Bowl.
While the Tigers have been here before, this is new territory for the Fighting Irish.
Player and coaches said Wednesday, they are ready for the big stage.
Preparation for the game won't change for the offense, as Clemson moves ahead without star Defensive End Dexter Lawrence.
Lawrence is one of three players on the team possibly suspended for a failed drug test.
