They Could do us a huge favor this weekend. But more important that Texas AM keeps winning.

A&M is the most important team for us for sure.

But Miami taking a loss would mean the ACC runner-up (the loser of Miami-Clemson if current trends hold) would have at least two losses and probably wouldn’t take an at-large CFP bid ahead of a one-loss Notre Dame.

If that loss is to a team we beat, even better.

As much as I've grown to hate Louisville, I will definitely be rooting for them this weekend. ACC being a one bid league would help us a lot (Miami will get stomped by Clemson)

Beware of dropping teams who lose in conference championship games behind us. A lot of pundits think they get the benefit of the doubt vs ND because we don’t play in one.

Caullin Lacy is opting out of the rest of the season. But not for the draft, intention is to red-shirt.

Louisville paid a lot for the guy and only got 4 games out of him.

That’s BS. But I would expect this to happen a lot more. Hopefully no other team
Picks him up and it blows up in his face.

I'm surprised more of our guys haven't done this but it does at least show the culture of the team may be a little stronger than elsewhere.

I've always believed this given those that choose ND know they are also committing to the classroom and they're okay with that.

It's wonderful that Louisville once again decided to give up on their season after they played us. It's like we're their bowl game each year and they decide to mail it in once they're done. They've lost to SMU, Miami (Who I don't think is as good as their ranking), and nearly lost to Virginia since we played them.

Is he worth checking interest on? I get the character hesitation, but maybe the kid wants to win and put up numbers. He'd be an explosive addition and arguably better than this year's transfer wr mercs.

I'd expect ND to gauge his interest.

Word is Lacy will play this year if he gets more money. If that is true stay away. Furthermore find out who his agent is and stay away from anyone who hires him too

 

[stlnd01]

FWIW his agent says "at this time" he plans to return to Louisville next year and "both sides are working tirelessly to make this happen." I'm confident they'll succeed...

Hold outs in college football for more money. What a mess this has become. Marcus freeman is smart enough to stay away from someone like this

 

[Irish#1]

It's all about the money for him and it's his prerogative. There is no "I" in team so it's a hard pass for me.

 

[benneboy]

Sooooo Louisville sucks at football I guess? I've never been more wrong about a team.

What a piece of trash

 

[NDPhilly]

SP+ has this Cards team at #21 and FPI has them at #17. Disappointing season for them if they can’t get it together.

They should have lost that BC game. Louisville is a fraud. We're basically they're bowl game the last 2 years, and after that they phone in the rest of the season. They got lucky last year they caught us at an opportune time. I kept track of all the Louisville fans talking smack on Twitter going into this year's game, I knew they weren't getting lucky twice.

The build a team with transfers thing is problematic just ask Mike Norvell
