ND-Pitt Predictions

[The Polish Irishman]

This should provide some interesting discussion... just predictions, not a coach bashing thread.

 

[PADOMERNUT]

34-31 ND....

Dont worry guys I am 4-0 this year at games I attend and I am going this week as well. Nothing to worry about.....

To make me feel even better, can you tell me the games you attended?

41-10 ND, who put Vodka in my koolaide

 

[patman1868]

I don't know what the score will be, but I can pretty confidently say that the game will be a close one because that seems to be the trend of ND games this year though matter if the oppenent is USC or Navy.

 

[Riddickulous]

Notre Dame 27, Pitt 24.

 

[mick2]

41-31 Irish.

a great ending to a sh***y week of being pissed about the loss to navy.

this will be a double whammy, shut up the charlie haters for one week and make mark mays head explode

 

[irishfan]

42-21. Just like 2005. And this time Riddick gets his TD.

 

[The Polish Irishman]

We have to play almost perfect to win. No turnovers, no Red Zone mistakes, great special teams, stop the run game, run the ball, protect JC....F%&K Mark May..Golden finds a way...Irish 31-28

 

[I Dont Miss Charlie]

Notre Dame: 27
Pittsburgh: 35

Like every game this season we'll make it close at the end and play hard in the 4th quarter but will lose the game due to our inefficiency in the red zone.

Notre Dame is 3-16 vs teams with winning records since 2007.

When have we won a game that we were expected to lose?

Im just going with the recent trend on this.

 

[mick2]

looks like everyone was listening to cowherd today spitting out the 3-16 stat

 

[neags23]

When have we won a game that we were expected to lose?

This is actually a really good question. When was the last time ND was an underdog and won? I'd be more interested to see the last time the team was at least a TD dog and won, but still curious about any amount.

In 2007 we were a 22 point underdog to UCLA and won by 14.

Last time we were an underdog and won was against Michigan in 2008. We were originally an underdog to Hawaii but by kickoff we were 2 point favs.

 

[Sam Crow]

I say 42-10 notre dame. we roll them.

 

[a.van2eman]

they have a good balance on offense.........defense has to come ready to play for us to have a chance.............the defense will decide if we are goin to win or lose

 

[GO IRISH!!!]

Maybe I have been blazing with NDOM too much, but I think we get our arses handed to us - Pitt 40 ND 17.

And, for the record, I never EVER pick ND to lose, but I am just a disheartened and broken man.

 

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

Pitt-41, ND-24

 

[Rudy89]

what i hope the score is ND 42 Pitt-21. sadly I think it will be the other way around

Thanks for that info! I didn't realize we were such underdogs to UCLA. Even though they were ranked then and we were 0 and 23 or something, I think they had their 3rd string QB in? Still nice to be such huge underdogs and win, though.

Sadly, I don't see it happening this time. The defense has shown me next to nothing.

Pitt: 44
ND: 20

 

[PADOMERNUT]

To make me feel even better, can you tell me the games you attended?

41-10 ND, who put Vodka in my koolaide

Nevada, Washington, BC, Washington St

 

[PADOMERNUT]

Pitt-41, ND-24

IN HOW MANY F'N THREADS ARE YOU GOING TO PICK PITT TO WIN???? WE ARENT STUPID, WE GET YOUR POINT.

 

[wahoo]

Pitt will probably win They can RUN the ball. Plus ND really hasn't shown much on the road either. They might get by UCon is they can stop the run but I bet Stanford runs all over them. That adds up to 7-5 and another lower tier bowl game. CW did seem to like Hawai however

 

[Honey Nut Irish]

I think we win this game. I think we come out hungry and f them up...at least I hope so.

Here is my alternate pick:

We take a 17-14 lead into halftime.

Find ourselves down 28-14 after the third quarter.

After falling behind 35-14 we get two quick scores to make it a ballgame late: 35-28

The defense keeps them out of the endzone but they tack on a short field goal with just over a minute remaining. 38-28

Riddick takes the ensuing squib kick to the heezy. Extra point is missed. 38-34

Tate recovers the onside kick. Jimmy is sacked and coughs up the ball, recovered by Pitt.

After a lengthy review it is determined that Jimmy's knee was down before he lost possession. The next play is a hook and ladder with Floyd pitching it to Tate, who has plenty of space to run.

He dives for the pylon, losing the ball. Its recovered by Pitt for a touchback. Or was it? A 40 minute long review reveals that he actually stepped out at the seven yard line before diving.

Irish get yet another chance. After three consecutive incomplete fades to Paris, Toma, and some random walk-on guy, Charlie decides to throw another fade. This one is lobbed a good 10 yards out of bounds and over Floyd's head. Game over.

In the post game interview Charlie apologizes for his horrible play calling at the end. Says next time he run Hughes in the wildcat instead.

Too freaking funny!!! Dude! Great way to end my day. Thanks!

 

[jason_h537]

I gauruntee this team will play lights out in the 4th quarter

 

[Junkhead]

I agree, but hopefully we aren't getting blown out by then.

LMFAO. Finally someone on here with some humor. The Hughes line killed me.

 

[Irish.Ca]

Jimmy finishes 4-0 before leaving for the NFL. I hope.
