Good to get Day, Riggs and Redfield back, but not of good news on that list other that those three. What a year.

Geaux Irish. Sadly i see LSU 37-10 and Kelly jumping ship. I sold all of my Brian Kelly stock on the open this morning.

Wouldn't know you had any left after your posts over the last couple months.

Two of the guys at ISD predicted an ND victory. Has to be a joke, right? Everyone talks about LSU's poor QB play, but I don't see them having to throw more than 5 times today.

FEI is only predicting a 4-point victory by LSU:

65.9% PWE :: LSU 23, Notre Dame 19

And the model's not very confident in its prediction either. Not sure analytics will be very helpful here, with Zaire getting his first start and our defense being healthier than it's been in months.

Expect this if you look at an LSU fan in the eye with ND stuff on.

Fuckers are crazy.

Gentlemen: a pre-game caution.

Malik is bound to make some mistakes out there given his "freshness" and the quality of the defense. PLEASE don't rain all over him when he does. Give him some slack. This is a hard fire which should temper his steel for the future. This season is essentially over, let's make as much progress with this last chance that we can.

Yep...didn't go to that one because of the weather and $hitty Titans year. Watched it on TV and many times did the backs come out of the backfield hitting a knee or trying to get good footing....started a little later in the game as the field started to deteriorate.

LSU loves the I-formation and jams it up the middle and runs the sweep a lot too. Primarily up the middle so, if the Irish can close the middle, could give the Irish a good chance.

Diz

Day and Cage back in the lineup are huge positives for this point especially. If they are anywhere close to 100% I start to like our chances.

I think the Zaire comments are spot on, young team wants a chance to play for the future. Zaire is a quality QB prospect with two full seasons in our system. He knows he can win the starting job with a solid performance so if he is a gamer, he will be bringing it. Motivating the troops is only part of the job, if he can sling it today we have a lot to look forward to.

I know a loss sucks but i would rather it be a close loss like this prediction then a 40 pointer.

Smart money is definitely on an LSU victory. I was simply responding to tko's comment that he "sold all of [his] Brian Kelly stock" this morning, since he's been calling for BK's head for months already.

I have no real idea what will happen today. One minute I think LSU is going to just run over you, and the next I'm thinking that if you guys come in motivated you'll embarrass them.

My head is with LSU as a win by them puts the SEC another step closer to a sweep in the bowls and makes Bama's win over them look even better. I have to admit that part of me is pulling for you guys today though.

Can't wait till Kizer sees the field, can't happen soon enough!

No, I am excited to see what Malik can do. I understand this is a terrible position to be in for your first start, but I'm hoping he makes the most of it and gets some good experience at the very least.
