I totally get the theory of CFB being unpredictable with upsets but I just don't see the recipe in this game. Having to rely on your running QB to run into one of the best run Ds in the country is not ideal. Paired with an inability to create explosive plays in the pass game. If Carr plays better than miserable, it should be a fun night.

The fact that we have a lot of depth on the D-line and rotate a lot of guys will make it miserable for BYU.

BYU Local rag's weak attempt to write a "It's us against the world" and "We're being so disrespected" story for this game.

Disrespect for BYU is real going into Notre Dame prime-time showdown

Potentially getting backup RB back would be notable. Could be gamesmanship.

Hells yes!
BYU is a tough environment, but it isn't A&M, Michigan, OSU or a dozen other places the Irish have already experienced.

The graph haters are about to hate this one:

We’ve always known BYU is a bit of an exception on HS recruiting and roster in general. But this is an extreme worth mentioning. The offense by wherever talent measure they are using is a bottom barrel G6 program.

So, is this saying ND is getting more out of their talent than expected?? If so, that's impressive as heck, considering we have stepped up recruiting outcomes lately.

That’s how I interpreted it

They beat Arizona 28-17 and if it wasn't for a INT on the second drive for Arizona it woulda been 21-17

ND could shouldered him when he visited because Bowden did the coin flip Friday with Deuce and got a commitment lol

I get saying you should attack the backers instead of the DBs but not good?? lulz...

NDFAN2008 · Monday at 4:29 PM

Does BYU get we beat them last time with Pyne as our QB?

This guys going to set the record for bookmarks.

If there ever was a game that the offense needed to start fast this is it.

It doesn’t matter what you think of BYU they are going to come out prepared and ready for a fight.

I think we win but it’s going to be a hard fought game.

I think it’s going to be BTA.

I’m glad the rest of yall are finding about about BYU fans.

If you ask a BYU fan they will speak of “Provo” like it’s this mythical place. A combination of Death Valley, the Thunderdome in Mad Max, and Mordor.

Gotta give it to this guy; he's really leaning into "ND's linebackers haven't played well." Tweeted about it 3-4 times.

We'll see Saturday if he's right.

arrowryan · Monday at 6:01 PM

I fail to understand the point of “this is the best team Notre Dame has faced so far this season”. Can the same thing not be said for BYU?

Why is this a big test for ND, but not BYU?

Because ND hasn't been battle tested by the big, bad "conference games," duh.

Dale · Monday at 6:09 PM

Funniest outcome is a ND blowout and a Wisconsin win gets them potentially very close in the polls

That’s completely irrelevant. None of the players that played in that game are on either of these teams now.

At some point coaching comes into effect, right Mr. Norvell?
