@IHateMarkMay, @indianamouse and @slick7410 each picked up their third correct prediction of the young season last week, and back-to-back points, good for a first-place tie at 3 total.

In case you are wondering, no, I do not have a single point yet and am merely here for your entertainment.

Irish, 28-17

27-6, you heard it hear first

I have a hard time seeing how this game will play out.

Marcus Freeman has his teams ready to go in big matchups, but he’s also failed to have his teams ready to play at home this season. Well, something has to give this Saturday.

Was the second half of last week’s game an indicator that Leonard is starting to come around? He’ll need to make plays with his arm if they want to beat Louisville.

The defense needs to just keep doing what they’ve been doing. Don’t let Louisville establish a running game and let the secondary go make plays.

Notre Dame: 23

Louisville: 14

While I have been proud of my winning streak of missing every week, like a blind squirrel I finally got lucky only to find Bloke dissed me. I'll see you at the Y buddy.

I hear ya pal. Got my first correct answer last week. First time ever. Didn't even crack the front page. We are probably recognized back between the crossword puzzle and obituaries/ funnies.

And I thought Bloke was our friend. Gimme some of that Irsay action....

I wish I had this confidence lol, with Angeli at QB, I'd be so much more bullish on the Irish.

You nailed it. Well said.

I'm just voting out my backside, if anyone is wondering. I usually get these wrong.

34-16.

Leonard throws for 225+ and 2 TDs, one a screen to Jeremiyah Love for 80 yards.

Defense gives up a few chunks but tightens in the red zone and holds them to field goals.

Although, Irish#1 is at #35 and you have me at #40. Not sure why you like him more....

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

31-17 Notre Dame

 

[IrishSpartan]

if we can convert 3rd and 5-8 at a good rate I believe we win possibly big. (Kinda for the whole year also)

Me with this thread for the rest of the weeek

We must score more than 17 points to win.

16-6 Louisville

I’m sorry boys

 

[InKellyWeTrust]

31-14 Irish

 

[IRISHMAN]

Louisville - 27
Notre Dame - 16

louisville will sell out to stop the run and force ND to pass.

I'm not sure Louisville will stop ND, even if they do sell out against the run.

I was going nuts in the Miami OH gameday thread in the first two quarters, but I saw enough from Riley in the intermediate passing game in the second half to think that we can throw the ball in the 7-12 yard windows that will be open if Louisville stacks the box.

Not sure why, but I just feel a statement game coming. ND stomps. Pass me the Kool-Aid.

 

[Irish#1]

31-17 Notre Dame

This is where I'm at. For some reason I think MF finally figures out how to get these guys ready for a home game. Wanting a little revenge doesn't hurt either.

The issue is not that Freeman can't get the guys ready for home games. He's done that countless times, and the wins against Clemson in 2022 and USC last year are proof positive of that.

The issue is getting them up for home games against far inferior opponents. That's been his struggle. I don't think this will be an issue against Louisville.

A love how these polls are always alot more optimistic then what gets posted on the boards

I had the same thought haha, I put my vote where my mouth thumbs are and am hoping/praying I'm completely wrong.

Prove it, Riley. Show me, Marcus. No more sleepy starts at home.

Run D has been lackluster. Are Mills and Cross finally ready to take over a football game?

It’s rare that you want to pick against your favorite team. And you want to believe things change.

 

[GrangerIrish24]

Leaonard passes for 5 touchdowns because that's the only thing that will makes sense this season.
