How does usc win that game being outgained 525 to 365?! I think we have a chance. We’re at home and if we have an ounce of pride we should have something to prove. Sam needs to not be a statue.

Nope that’s just enough hope to give all the ND media members to have faith that “old Notre Dame will win over all” and pull the upset over their hated rival. And then SC will boat race the Irish on their home turf.

 

[Grahambo]

If we had a good offense and bad defense, I’d be more confident. USC’s defense is garbage. No matter how you slice it, it would be a huge upset if ND pulls it out. Maybe the bad weather helps.

Woof.

ND opened at -1…someone talk me out of my net worth (not much) on the USC ML.

Fuc* USC.

 

[laughingirish90]

hate to say it but this went from being a huge game between two top ten teams this past week to now a who cares game by many if i had to guess.

Crazy line, we.will get boatraced

 

[MacIrish75]

Somehow we’ll win this 27-23 or something.

I personally don't care that much. I don't see how any ND fan could bear to watch this Iowa-style offense any longer

 

[EvilleIrish]

Has been bet up to -2.5 on FD. I don’t understand.

I actually think ND has a “come to Jesus” moment, regroups and rallies at home.

ND - 31
USC - 28

Either college is rigged or they fell and bumped their heads.

We lose this game by 20.

 

[jpachuta33]

Our offense has zero identity and a play caller that should be calling plays on Friday nights. As abysmal as USC's defense is, we will make them look like the '85 Bears.

Sharps took ND expecting the public to hammer USC. If people jump on USC there's a good chance ND has a "come to Jesus" moment and wins. Parker will have it figured on Saturday and the offense will play a lot better.

Who says Gerad Michael Parker will be calling the plays?

You said Parker will have it figured out hahaha. Better chance of ND winning a national championship to in 23.

 

[tko]

I’d love to see a Utah type game from back in the day in the cold, but my mind says ND gets broken trying to tackle captain elusive. He very well could be flashing his painted nails in our faces again.

 

[jpachuta33]

I was at the disheartening Ohio State game...
I was at the Louisville beatdown last night...
Making it official now... I will not be attending the USC game (so maybe we have a chance).

I rather shit on both of my hands and then clap, than to waste more time and money driving from Ohio to watch this clearance rack offensive coaching staff try and put together a game plan that wouldn't even hang 30 on Saint Joseph High School's football team.

Have you watched the Irish OL play the past couple of weeks? U$C will look like they have 4 or 5 1st round draft picks against our OL!

Bear Alexander himself, will absolutely destroy our guards.

If ND wins this game, or does well it will be because the O-line and Estime. Hartman isn't going to have a 350yd 4td game. I think Estime has a big game and the OL does well and the narrative will be they "felt disrespected after Louisville and had something to prove." Win or lose they'll have a better showing than the past two weeks. Estime was contained against tOSU and Duke and shut down vs Louisville. If he has any hope of the Doak Walker or being considered one of the best backs he needs to have a marquee game. If the weather is as expected it further justifies the need for the run game

That’s such easy money. That SC defense will look like the Steel Curtain when it faces ND’s offense.

I think the LSU defense has a better chance of having a “come to Jesus“ moment. After all, they don’t have mid-terms this week like ND (thanks Jack!) but wouldn’t matter if they did as they don’t have to go to class.

 

[INLaw]

i bet we win. We are talented. Talented bad teams win and lose head scratchers.

 

[irishtrain]

Its a complete coaching overmatch.

😂 No way. Talent is there (on ND’s offense). They’ve just got to call the right plays and at the right time. Develop some momentum and identity. It’s such a lost, boorish offense at the moment. USC’s poorish defense is the perfect place to start.

ETA: Unless you’re in a STEM program, attending class is overrated.

Even when we win sometimes we’re are out coached.

You’re right on the talent but they’ve got their own worst enemy scheming that talent up. When there’s 13 in the box, Parker calls a run. When there’s 4 in the box Parker insists on a pass. I’m being hyperbolic but you get my drift. Give me Mike Denbrock over Parker and ND is undefeated right now.

 

[stlnd01]

Our defense vs. their offense will be fun. The other side(s) of the ball are a debacle all around. But if Parker can somehow get his head on straight, I like our chances.
