Yes, he should be good to go.

I hope Fuller torches him.

Or as Winston would say, "We scrong. Real scrong."

Let me tell you guys something. This a lot like how we Giants fans felt in 2007. A 9-7 Giants team that went to the playoffs as a wild card team, beat out their opponents to make it to the Superbowl, only to face a 18-0 undefeated Patriots team that was blowing everyone out in the regular season. Most fans believe in the Giants but were realistically not sure if the Giants could out play Brady and Moss duo, who broken all types of records that season. The Giants went in 12 point underdogs but in the end they played Giants football and won the game.

Moral of the story? Its any given Saturday/Sunday.

If ND plays good D and doesn't turn over the ball, and Golson plays well, we can win, if not then we might lose/.

Piss off! Eli received divine intervention during that game. There is no doubt in my mind. He survived being sacked from a couple of all-pros monsters and then throws a ball in double coverage which is caught on the helmet of the receiver(impossible catch). Like come on. This is probably still haunting Tom Brady lol.

But, you're right. Games are played on the field. That's why we watch it.

Semi Pro

Semi Pro

My definition of SEMI PRO when used to describe these college teams that I have recently referred to----85-100 young men on campus to win a football game and bring $$$$$ to the school with no regard for college life experience or education. Young men who may not even belong in college except for their ability to play a sport (football). And lastly semi pro because in actuality they are being paid just not the amount that would equate to a real professional salary. So from now on when I use semi pro everyone will know what I mean in referring to sec schools or any other place ( fsu) that has followed that matrix. If you think for one minute that all of a sudden the Mississippi schools for example have just found the secret sauce to blending college with football then your naïve. I've heard people say on talk shows ( Finebaum) that the sec provides a better environment for winning football-your damn right they do and it isn't on the up and up. You must understand the meaning of a better environment for winning-----its called SEMI PRO.

So an undefeated #5 ranked ND team has about the same chance of beating FSU as an unranked Louisville team, an unranked Miami team, and an unranked Florida team....interesting....

 

[Black Irish]

Offensively, ND should be able to put up points on FSU. Hell, everyone else has so fat this season. I keep hearing how good FSU's D is, but several not very good teams have put up multiple TDs on them. As long as EG plays smart I don't see how the Irish don't rack up points.

On D, I'm optimistic. Sure, UNC toasted the Irish a bit, but on actually sitting down and watching the game, it wasn't as bad as the post game commentary made it seem. FSU has a potent offense, but they've been slow to get started in most of their games having and the Irish are easily the best defense they've seen so far this season.

Real Talk, I would not put the rent money on the Irish to win, but that's also partly because I'm Mush when it comes to betting on ND. But I have confidence that this ND team will not get pounded by Crab Leg U, and has a decent shot to win it.

Fock Michigan!

Fock Florida State!

Just win.

I have no idea what this means. But then again light moves pretty fast.

Sorry to derail, just answering greyhammer.

Matthew 5:13-16Amplified Bible (AMP)

13 You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste (its strength, its quality), how can its saltness be restored? It is not good for anything any longer but to be thrown out and trodden underfoot by men.

14 You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.

15 Nor do men light a lamp and put it under a peck measure, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house.

16 Let your light so shine before men that they may see your [a]moral excellence and your praiseworthy, noble, and good deeds and recognize and honor and praise and glorify your Father Who is in heaven.

It is nuts how gun-shy a lot of us are for big games since Weisingham. I trust BK to have these kids ready to roll and compete at a high level. It's a different era at ND. I'm choosing to appreciate the changes BK had brought to the program instead of worrying about the past. It's an amazing time to be an ND fan.

 

[IrishSteelhead]

1-16 against top 5 opponents since 1994 tends to make you gun-shy. Like pooping in prison shy....

Ew! Is that real??

 

[NDTH91]

But we're 6-0 in games where the team takes the field in 2014 😎

EG plays better on the road anyways. We're good.

 

[ClausentoTate]

Ew! Is that real??

Gotta love stats that go back well before the current staff and players... except Alabama. That was bad.

And at least that one win was against Michigan

Most teams have poor records against the top 5. That's why they're the top 5.

I hear ya, but I think this is indicative of how piss poor this program has been between Holtz and Kelly. Hoping for some good juju this weekend...

Notre Dame looking to overcome history vs Top 5 Saturday against FSU

If we want to be the best we have got to beat the best. Kelly is 8-7 versus ranked opponents and we were 0-10 in the four years before he got here. That, my friends, is called progress. This is a chance for a big feather in the cap, signature win. Two years ago we sh!t the bed against #1, showing up and giving them hell for four quarters would be a sign of continued improvement. Winning would be even better.

Heard on M&M this morning Vegas line is pulled pending clarity on Winston but odds have them 10 points favored with Winston and 3 points without.

We've also been a trendy upset pick by a lot of the "experts" I've seen. A lot of folks seem to think that we not only can win, but will. I'm not sure I've seen anyone with any credibility predict a blowout loss. Herbstreit doesn't predict games he calls but I know he has this one as a "four quarter" game that comes down to Everett Golson as the "x-factor."

Unless it's ebola (too soon?), that "sickness" goes away once you get outdoors and start running around. sure, he'll feel like hell afterwards, but adrenaline and exercise are amazing cold medications.

Also, only one crack at a top five opponent with this staff, small sample size. I think we may be pleasantly surprised come early Sunday morning...

Yeah, that sounds right to me. If we play clean, I think we will win. Not we "can" win ... we "will" win. If we make mistakes like we made against 'Cuse and UNC, we probably can't and won't. Everett is a huge x-factor in that sense.

[GoldenDomer15]

Fully expecting us to blow 2 timeouts on the first drive...just saying. After EG craps down the side of his leg, he settles down and the Heisman talk really starts to heat up.

On another note, I'm really pumped for this game. I have planned out my day to occupy myself until 7pm. I have a bad nail biting habit, so it's going to a long day for those suckers.
