We will beat Michigan State by 21 - at least.

[midwestguy]

I am POSITIVE of this.

 

[irishfan]

I'm pretty confident about this game. I'm not gonna go out there and say 21 but I've been thinking 14+

 

[ShamrockOnHelmet]

I am POSITIVE of this.

Ok. So what do I get if you're wrong?

 

[phork]

Careful, he has highly placed sources.

I took ND and Boise State in a Parlay...spread for ND game is down to 9.5..they can't stop Jimmy

 

[Rudy89]

Sorry guys but I see this being close Our Defense sucked last week so I dont think it will be a wlaktrhough i can see use losing this game....that and i predicted a win last week so im hoping for reverse logic there. seriously though it will be a VERY VERY VERY VERY tough game they seem to have our number at home

 

[jason_h537]

I say a BIG win.

 

[bert2834]

I say a BIG win as well. Our D will put it together and without the spread they will let Manti run loose!

i can see manti gaining more pt but at the same time, toryan smith is a beast against the run. i cant see the coaches taking bsmith out, so im curious how those 3 will be rotated. and how is fleming the odd man out of the rotation? with how versatile that te'o is, he should be able to switch and be rotating with fleming as opposed to the smiths. toryan smith is a tank though and i like how hes stepped it up this year and made sure te'o wasnt just handed the starting spot

 

[irish4ever]

I say a close game with the Irish holding on at the end. MSU is always tough for the Irish to beat!

 

[mick2]

the teams back is against a wall, just like 06, lets see how they can respond. This will be a very telling game, i think the players understand their season is riding on every game from here on out.

 

[jfjkd01]

Let's hope so. I heard on ESPN yesterday that we haven't beat MSU at home since the Holtz era. If we do win I think it will be close........

 

[BGIF]

I am POSITIVE of this.

Do you have any substance for this statement?

 

[Riddickulous]

I disagree. No explanation.

I agree. How they play will tell alot about our team and coach. I do not see how a team with so many juniors and seniors in key roles on the team can allow the rest to throw in the towel. I hope we come out guns blazing and force MSU to have to play catch up. I say a big win. Not 21 but convincingly. Our d will play alot better this week.

This does need to be a no doubter, and pretty early. There really are no more excuses. Playing a team that lost to a 2nd or 3rd place MAC team at home. Sorry, didn't think Lefevour looked THAT good.

ND 38 MSU 14

Not saying that's what it's gonna be, but needs to be.

Central will easily win the MAC. LeFevour is a damn good QB too. Central is not as bad as people say they are just because they are in the MAC. No excuse for losing to them though.

 

[Ancient Hunter]

We will beat Michigan State by 21 - at least.

I hope so, because I have them picked for a 3+ win on pro line!

 

[tonyroberts4life]

You can't really say this team beat that team so........It all depends on matchups withim specific games. Who am I kidding, we are gonna kick the crap out of Michigan State. Player of the Game...Golden Tate. Irish win by 17. 175 yds rushing. 335 passing. Clausen will improve chance at HEISMAN! Go Irish

 

[JughedJones]

Big win.

This is the first game where our D faces a 'regular' offense. (Read not Pistol option or the spread.)

This is where they show up. Not to mention the need to stop this bullshit streak MSU has going in South Bend.

Run it up Chuck!

 

[IrishAlum1997]

I want to see Tate grab OUR flag and plant it at the 50 after the game. Take our field back!

I'd rather leave the punk action to Sparty.

I prefer Tate and Company act Play Like Champions and act like they've been there before ... and just hand the ball to the back judge as they cross Sparty's goal line 8 times on Saturday.

see you guys after the game

 

[notredomer23]

Well I predicted 45-24(I am a genius BTW) and that is 21 points so lets kick some sparty arse

 

[JughedJones]

I want us to get a little mean too.



I prefer and cherish our class act, but at some point we need to let the world know we're back.

 

[JughedJones]

I think Tate/AA/Floyd/Jimmy could bring our banner out there and make a statement while still keeping the class.

I'm really bad at editing my posts, sorry.

56-0 does that a whole lot better than any flag.

 

[JughedJones]

amen



(coming from your resident atheist Irish Fan!)

 

[Riddickulous]

Under no circumstances should our players ever come out and plant their flag on any field.

#1: It's classless. Definitely not what Notre Dame's about.

#2: They would get absolutely ripped by the media for doing it. There would all kinds of talk about Charlie and the classless and thug university that is Notre Dame.


Go Irish! Beat Sparty!

 

[JughedJones]

Can't AA/Jimmy/Floyd/Tate bring our flag over to sing the Alma Mater?

that would be SERIOUS class and we would be sending a message as well.


and maybe pass by the 50 yard line with it?


Just a thought.
