10-2

NOBODY CIRCLES THE WAGONS LIKE THE NOTRE DAME FIGHTING IRISH.

 

[NDMatt91]

USC, BYU, Clemson, and UNC are all losses. Wouldn't surprise me if they lost to a Syracuse or BC. My guess is 5-7 or 6-6.

 

[IRISHDODGER]

I feel good about UNLV & Navy

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

Jack better negotiate that new tv contract fast before the wheels completely fall off.

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

Navy almost beats our 10 win teams.
Kenny N is going to blitz the edges like he's Clemson and shut this offense down.

The good news is if we end up on the Hallmark Network, my wife already forces me to add that package for all 342 of their Christmas flicks.

I said Navy in another thread, but those Midshipman always give us a battle.

 

[Blazers46]

Hoping they lose every game. Clean house from top to bottom. Rethink NIL strategy and academic admissions.

There will be Blood. Buchner injury early reports aren't good. I don't think Buchner is a world beater but Drew Pyne with a turn style Oline, one TE weapon. The college version of Matt Nagy calling plays.
Blood.... There will be blood. Amazing how quickly optimism and expectation evaporated in 7 days.

This season might force entry to the Mountain West.

I hear Boise is nice this time of year.

 

[ACamp1900]

The realistic floor is four wins,… realistic ceiling is,… probably 8 now.

I thought at the start of the season predicting 8 wins was accounting for major growing pains. Even I never would have imagined this

 

[ShamrockOnHelmet]

I unrealistically think we can sneak a w past Stanford. That’s. About. It.

 

[Rudy89]

2-10 at best.

 

[TNUtoNotreDame]

2-10 at best.

Oh goodness, I pray not. That would be a Ty level rebuild.

I'm with you on NIL and Academic admissions. The Gold seat sitting , Polo wearing, khaki strutting, aw shucks they lost types don't want their degree slipping out of the Top 25. Those same people have a hard time understanding how some of these players should get that type of money. You would think that economics and supply and demand would be covered at such a prestigious University. They want to draw imaginary lines

I was basing it on the fact they got smoked by an FCS team in week one.

 

[greyhammer90]

We just lost to Marshall without anything flukey happening. I know we won’t go 0-12, but I’m in a “show me the win” mindset right now

 

[TNUtoNotreDame]

I think we crush Cal next week and then get wacked by UNC and BYU.

Cal
UNLV
NAVY
STANFORD?
Will be our wins. Could really spiral if we lose to Cal. Buchner is likey out.

I don’t know about Stanford. Their TE will have a field day against ND’s LB & DB

 

[MacIrish75]

My 10-2 prediction only stands if we decide to play RPIII at QB.

 

[TNUtoNotreDame]

I think I predicted 8-4. I am now really hoping that is possible.

Edit- 9-4 was my prediction.

 

[Rudy89]

Oh goodness, I pray not. That would be a Ty level rebuild.

That’s how I see this program right now.

 

[IrishinTN]

3-4 wins, if we're lucky.

 

[ulukinatme]

My 10-2 prediction only stands if we decide to play RPIII at QB.

I'm ready to change my Title.

 

[bkess8]

BYU will win by 21.

Pin this post!

 

[Crazy Balki]

I really don't know, but I have very little hope we beat BYU, Clemson or USC with the way things are right now.

But I also don't know how things are going to change moving forward. This team is in serious need of a coming to Jesus moment. Leaders need to step up and do something about this. Serious circle-the-wagon situation. The talent is there.

You need to first give up on Lugg and Correll. It's time to let go. Their experience ain't giving us jack shit. We need a shake-up and it's time to put Spindler and Kristofic in at guard and put Patterson back at center. As I've said before, this is more so a mandate, because Lugg and Correll were bad last week and bad again this week. No point in keeping them in there.

Bertrand and Bauer need to sit. They're just wholly un-athletic and make up for it with taking bad angles constantly. Marist was bad today too, but he gets a bit more of a pass because he appears to still be hobbled and rusty. But it's time to see more of Kollie, Junior and Snead.

 

[Sea Turtle]

It's still baffling that we didn't grab a couple of receivers and a qb.

yeah marshall didn't get lucky and ND didn't blow the game, marshall just straight up beat ND. cal, unlv and navy seem winnable but after that i dont see any game ND can win with the offense they have. my guess is ND finishes the season 3-9 or 4-8.
