Courtesy of Narduzzi's petty time out with 5 seconds left and Pitt's garbage time TD, the IE majority (50 of us total) who picked ND 17-23 won last week's prediction, stealing a point from the 24-30 group. Our co-leaders both gained another point, for five total, and eight others picked up their fourth point, good for a second-place tie.

Syracuse is ranked 103rd in SP+ (103rd offense, 100th Defense), which is behind the likes of CMU (99th), Buffalo (98), SMU (97) and Purdue (96). They are THAT bad. Angeli had things looking interesting in early September but since he went down against Clemson, they've been an absolute doormat. It will not be close.

ND 55 - SU 7

56-3, timeout with 5 seconds left to kick a 55 yarder to get in the board. ND doesn’t pass in the fourth quarter and practices under center by taking a knee with 7 minutes to go. I think they should practice the tush push every down starting in the fourth quarter. Cuse has less than 150 yards.

48-10 good guys. THE CUSE adds a TD with 5 seconds to make it look closer than it was.

I would like to convert in short yardage and make chip shot field goals. Got two games to figure it out.

Team total for Cuse is 7.5

Something catastrophic will have to happen for that over to hit.

We can’t let a freshman walk-on score. I think he’ll be so bad that he gets replaced by Collins. 58-7 is the final.

So hard to secure a shutout in CFB. We haven't had one since '22 against BC and before that, it was the 37-0 (never forget the 6!) game against scUM in '14. And we've played some pretty bad opponents in between.

Plus, does it ever really happen when so many expect it/predict it? I could see it, but it could be something dumb like a scoop and score, dropped pass INT, etc that could lead to a score for SU.

Games like this I say let's get Minchey some run in the second half and that always backfires from a karma perspective. I stand by Schmidt kicking the winner!!!!!

How many heart attacks would occur simultaneously if Schmidt was lining up for a game winning FG with the Irish down by 2? lol

Nitpickyish, but:

2021: Notre Dame 55 - Georgia Tech 0
2020: Notre Dame 52 - South Florida 0
2019: Notre Dame 52 - Bowling Green 0
