I think we could play with AM, I think LSU would embarrass us. Either way, excited for a noteable matchup.

Sure would be odd if neither saw the field.

@KySportsRadio: Just heard from my Music City Bowl guy that Louisville will be headed there playing either LSU or Tennessee.

On the bright side they could have had Odell Beckham Jr. this year too...

Notre Dame’s defense, decimated by injuries, will face freshman star Leonard Fournette, who rushed for 891 yards and eight touchdowns during the regular season. As a team, the Tigers tossed 16 touchdown passes to nine interceptions.


Sagarin's current Predictor Model makes ND an 11-1/2 pt underdog at a neutral location.

But Sagarin doesn't take injuries into consideration. He evaluates wins. losses, margin of victory, and strength of schedule. Whether you have anyone left standing for the next game doesn't enter into his calculations.

So you are saying this that we are 18 point under dogs.

The odds are going to go where the money takes them but I wouldn't be surprised if ND is one of the biggest or the biggest underdog on this year's bowl schedule.

Healthy we can play with anybody. Despite starting the season without the Frozen Five, Springman and several others we went 6-0 and it would have been 7-0 if not for a controversial call. Then the injuries mounted and we couldn't overcome the execution deficiencies we had. We have talented freshman but they are 18 year olds playing against 22 year olds that are stronger and considerably more experienced.

"What tho the odd ... "
