I'm hoping we put this one away by the start of the fourth so we can see some extended action for Malik Zaire.

Now that I've said this, we'll lose 17-10 after a devastating game featuring 6 Irish turnovers.

This game smells of 2012 BYU to me. That was sandwiched between Stanford at home and OU on the road in a huge night game. Replace OU with FSU, and we have similar scenarios. I don't think this will be as comfortable as most are tending to think.
Yeah but BYU was really good that year. That defense kicked ass. Our offense didn't kick ass that year. UNC's defense blows and our offense is pretty good.

I want 40+ on offense and less that 14 on given up on defense and I'll be happy. I'd also like to start quickly in this game. Maybe back to back touchdown drives to open the game to suck the will out of them quick.

FEI Week 7 Game Projections:



The model gives us a ~97% chance of victory. FEI's predictions in the 95+ PWE bucket have been accurate 94% of the time this season.

Hot damn I love math. Any idea what the exceptions were? Were these games where a finer analysis by a human could have overcome the inadequacies of relatively incomplete data, due to the youth of the season?

Funny. Wasn't this a game in the preseason the experts predicted as a loss? I still laugh at the Vegas odds on ND's seasons being 7.5 wins.

More than a few IE posters picked it as a loss for the Irish as well. Paging, Admiral Ackbar.

Look at it months in advance this is the game that worries me... they are better than the average person will give credit for and that return game is flat scary... yet, if ND loses it would be viewed as another wtf loss.

Must be carefull on this one-months ago I had this as a loss. Now a smart athletic young team on the come must take care of business and get off early. These are the games for the rest of the country that make seasons and when you come to Notre Dame you MUST understand that.

lol... Is it Sunday or something?? Have I been time warped? Let's actually, you know, play the game before we call people out on it...

It's less likely than before the season started, but this could still be a difficult game.

Yeah... I considered it a win the moment Hopkins get publicly reprimanded. And I subscribe to 247 for Lou + Wiltfong.

Wait, I thought you dropped your sub and you were championing us to do the same?

Not a fan. They shouldn't have gotten away from the solid Carolina blue helmet/unis.

Sharper look IMO

I agree... at least get rid of the black they have rolled with the past two seasons.. they had some of the best unis in sports prior to that.

I don't why but I feel like if TCU beats Baylor on Saturday, TCU will pass ND in the rankings because of beating two top 5 teams back to back

Well at least they won't get grass stains on their all white unis.

Hey, I don't come here to be reasonable and wait for game results before spouting my mouth off. I'm a fan, damn it. In fact, I'm calling you out for your lack of unreasonable behavior and adherence to rational discourse. It's a disgrace! An outrage!

Yes they will, and I will more than likely bitch a fit. But we get FSU at their house in 9 days. We just have to win, simple enough...right?
