Only six posters got it right last week with the 28 point dub over Navy. No one at the top got it right; IrishLion, bobbyok1 & tussin all got their second correct prediction, bringing them into a crowded second place (17 posters with two), chasing the four leaders at three.

Let's hear those predictions.

Making my prediction based on their QB not playing...hope it doesn't bite me.

Go Irish!

Road warriors, big

 

[Irish#1]

My vote is in. Looking to keep my perfect record in tact.

Go Irish!

I know what being cavalier is as an adjective but what IS a Cavalier?? Are they trying to say they support King Charles?? Are they small little dogs??? What is Virginia going for here?? It’s mass confusion… and our boys will surely be considering this important question rather than focusing on the game,…

King Charles’ supporters by 52

Without a healthy Armstrong, Notre Dame is going to stomp them. Virginia’s defense gets hung out to dry even when their offense is clicking. This looks like a 40 minutes of possession, 300 yards rushing type of game for the Irish.

 

[IrishLax]

Think this game will be close, even without Armstrong or with a limited Armstrong. UVA's defense is really, really bad but defenses always play better off a bye week. So that should keep ND's score in the 30s.

 

[Pops Freshenmeyer]

I feel personally attacked

 

[Some Irish Bloke]

I just don't see how a stubborn, 3-3-5 scheme is going to slow down this offense. Their defense is soooo bad, Kyren is going to run wild.

I hope we see plenty of Buchner to keep their defensive front honest and avoid the Navy strategy of dropping eight and confusing Coan. Rees and co. need to ensure we have a solid start on the road and don't fall behind to this explosive offense.

ND 45, UVA 31. Irish cover, hammer the over in this one.

With Navy forcing 25 three and outs, what will UVA do? Will Tommy adjust?

I'm going to go ND, 41-35. Kyren has another big day in leading the offense. I think we get a big play or two from Tyree, as well. I think our DL will come up with a couple of big plays. Timely sacks, strip sack, batted balls, etc. Another game where both sides of the ball do just enough to win.

Have a feeling we show regardless of who they have playing QB. Just a hunch. BK lost no sleep last week with the ranking #10. My guess is the boys take it a little more personal this week.

 

[Valpodoc85]

I’m feeling a big Lenzy day…

He’s certainly due. Hasn’t done much besides drop passes so far this year.

 

[IrishLion]

He’s certainly due. Hasn’t done much besides drop passes so far this year.

I know he hasn’t been the big play threat we hoped for, but he has made a few tough catches in timely spots, and hasn’t looked like a liability at any point IMO

 

[IrishBoognish]

spread was around 4. Now up to 6.5.

Still easy money it seems to me.

 

[irishff1014]

44-34 ND

 

[Riddickulous]

ND wins big. Defense forces 3-4 turnovers.

 

[Rockin’Irish]

I posted in the Virginia thread that I saw a retweet that Armstrong is out tonight and Woolfolk is the expected starter………I guess we’ll have confirmation shortly.

 

[BeatSC]

So no Hamilton tonight? If not tonight ever? He is currently seen as a top 5 pick. Hard not to protect that but would sure be a team player move as a captain to rejoin the team.

If you take Kelly's word at face value, he will.be back. I suspect as the postseason becomes clearer, that will go a long way in determining KH's availability, assuming he's cleared medically.

 

[Armyirish47]

These Wahoos are Yahoos, Notre Dame rolls 35 - 17.

I say play Hamilton and play the 'Deion Sanders' way.... be a force and intimidate, just don't tackle anybody and if you get an interception, run out of bounds 5 yards before you get hit unless you have nothing but green in your sights.....
