2024 Week 1 Prediction Poll: (7) Notre Dame @ (20) Texas A&M

[NDBoiler]

I've got a weird feeling that we smoke them.

It’s Friday evening beer-thirty for me

 

[arrowryan]

Are you asking if I thought there was a difference between 6 starts or 7 starts?

Gimme a break.

It wasn’t pointed towards anyone specifically. OL questions didn’t really exist pre Jagusah injury. Jagusah gets hurt and Pendleton beats out two guys, now there’s OL/experience concerns.

Well, they did for me.

I was concerned when we thought the line was gonna be Jagusah-Coogan-Craig-Schrauth-Wagner and Knapp-Pendleton-Craig-Schrauth-Wagner is somehow less experienced.

That said, I was high on Pendleton when he signed and it's not that ND can't win, because they can.

But, I don't know what we'll see from the aTm offsense. All I know is that place is loud and they do have a lot of athletes that probably aren't poorly coached anymore.

I felt pretty high on both Pendleton and Knapp. Of course I didn’t expect to rely on either in this game (or even this season to be honest). We’ll see how ready they are, this is a great test and quite the gamble by Rudolph. The Alt-Fisher training wheels are off, we’ll see if he has what it takes to be ND’s OLine coach this season. Stuckey’s dismissal should indicate a pretty short leash for any position group in the Freeman era, and I’m guessing it’s even shorter this year with all that rides on it for HCMF

I was 20-7 but with all the hype continuing to build on the A&M side I'm getting pretty confident we smoke them, too.

27 - 20, good guys

Two hearted ales are speaking to me. Irish by 90. Too bad some dude doesn't allow us to change predictions....

 

[forkbeard3777]

26-21 ND

 

[Blazers46]

Bold prediction. I think if ND scores more points I think ND wins….

Big if true

 

[Blazers46]

Big if true

This board will go nuts.

I watched the first two episodes of Here Come The Irish. Hard not to root for these guys and their love for ND.

 

[T Town Tommy]

Leonard runs for 75+ and torches the Aggie secondary for 225 yds and three TDs. Irish win by two scores and Riley enters the Heisman conversation.
Irish 27
Cheer Boys 17

 

[zelezo vlk]

Irish 21 - Aggies 17

I have a hard time thinking the Aggies score more than 13 but gave them a bump because I’m frequently wrong

 

[tko]

My gut says we absolutely have to keep A&M at 17 or lower to win.

 

[Luckylucci]

It’s finally here. Pumped for today.

24-17 ND.

ND is a playoff team and this is only the beginning.

 

[MacIrish75]

Defense travels and we’ve got defense. Biggest difference maker in the game weirdly ends up being Rendell keeping aTm with horrible field position. A couple turnovers gives Leonard & Co a short field. We convert. Jeter hits 2/3 FGs. Ags score a late TD to get the margin a bit closer.

Not to always and automatically agree with you but special teams is everything in low scoring close games ⬆️

Nobody would blame you if you did always and automatically agree with me, my guy!

Where’s ACamp?? I need some pessimism!

This thread just ain’t the same without him!

He’d have researched something about Aggies and how they are enhancing the nutrition of their food and only give the food to the football team or something which would lead to a 60 point shellacking.

 

[Wild Bill]

Has anyone lost their shit in here yet or you boys being good?
