Notre Dame vs. Alabama - Predictions

[TCramer]

Well, with a week to go until the National Championship, I figure now would be a good time for everyone to give their final two cents, and give a prediction on what the final outcome of the game will be.

Well here we go....

Notre Dame-23
Alabama-20

Field Goals lots of them.

Edit: Change my mind. Going 16 all tie as opposed to 19 to 16.

OVERTIME
ND 23
UA 16

Alabama wins OT goes on Def. ND scores, stops Alabama.

We will have a defense/special teams touchdown early to spark us

It's weird, 13 has been our big game number. Stanford 13, Oklahoma 13, USC 13, Alabama 13?
I don't know if we can hold them to that but hey if our D is better than LSU's, we should be somewhere around 14-20 in terms of pts given up.

Great thread. It's game week!

ND - 24

Bama - 13

ND scores 10 easy points off Bama turnovers deep in their territory. Golson continues his quick maturity and has the game of his life, and ND begins next season #1 and favored to do it again. I've been drinking the kool-aid since the MSU game and have no intentions of putting it down.

Close game that could go either way, but I think Bama's depth, running game, and experience at QB will be the difference.

I can definitely see the score being in that range. That really stood out to me. We are gonna have to hold them to field goals and that would be 3 and I certainly think they will score at least a rushing td since that's their bread and butter. Maybe Golson throws for one and scrambles for another, either a defensive td or Theo finds pay dirt! Gotta believe Brindza will come through with at least 1 big FG! Anyways this is what I'm envisioning as we get closer to it. Nice pick!

You realize he picked Alabama. So ND would be the kicking field goals and not scoring touchdowns.

I'm loathe to say this, but I think 'Bama wins big right now. I may change my opinion after re-watching LSU-'Bama or the LSU bowl game, but the Tide averaged 6.6 ypc against LSU and their line is as good as ours and Minter is probably the second MLB off the board in April. If we give up 6.6 ypc this will get ugly in a hurry.

28-17

The doubters in this thread reminds me of a lot of the chatter leading up to the OU game. Keep the faith fellas. The boys haven't given you a reason to lose it yet!

A bit ham handed on the hex, don't ya think? That's an average of 15.13 points a minute.

I don't think the Tide could handle adding fractions ...

13 points allowed for 13-0.

I'm starting to think my 16 was too much.

The win > margin of victory

Let's play this damn game already aaaaaaaaaah!

Go Irish!!!!

 

[WakeUpEchoes]

According to some we may not score a TD.

Will Notre Dame Even Score a Touchdown?

 

[Bogtrotter07]

Wow the only place where the majority pick ND to win, proves two things; the intelligence of the individuals on the site; and that it is an ND site!

I have been having dreams, (it may not be close.)
