whats funny is remember when BK made the statement," you can see my players " In reference to who he recruited. Funny how we went to a NC with charlie's guys and now that we're all in with kelly we arent even bowl eligible.

There's two ways i see this going... the team comes out fired up in the 1st half...loses momentum by half time then USC opens it up; Or they come out flat and USC starts the beat down early. If we keep it respectful I'll be happy. I use to feel the same way during Weis and Carroll's match ups

At this current point in time...I have a strange feeling that Notre Dame puts it on USC and wins by at least 10. Don't know why my gut feels this way. But the boys with nothing to lose come out and play their best game of the season to try and save Brian Kelly's job. But it will be to late for Kelly.

Well that would make my weekend....but it ain't happening. This will be like 2003, 2004, 2007, 2008 & 2014 when ND was a prohibitive underdog and we'd all come up with long shot theories as to how ND could pull off the upset "What tho the odds..."

Then the Irish would get boat raced by 31 points and the embarrassment of being an ND fan would return until the next season or the next head coach.

Here's my prediction:

SC will hold ND to under 100 yards rushing
Adoree Jackson returns a punt and an interception for a score
Instead of running tempo, Kizer will wait for SC's defense to get aligned so he can check down from a run play into a pass play.
Pendergast will have his safeties walk up into the box to bait Kizer into checking into a pass play which falls incomplete or is picked off when they drop back into coverage.
Kizer is sacked five times
Kizer throws three picks
One of our WR gets concussed by a helmet-to-helmet hit by SC safety but targeting is not called.
McGlinchey has three false starts
Zaire gets more playing time tomorrow than he's had in the last 11 games combined when he goes replaces an ineffective Kizer.
Darnold puts on a show that makes him a front-runner for 2017 Heisman & makes people wonder why the mock draft idiots ever had Kizer as a first rounder.
Darnold throws for four TDs and runs for two before Helton puts in the backup.
Ronald Jones III rushes for over 200 yards easily putting him over the 1000 yard mark for the year.
BK will call the jet sweep to Dexter Williams and it will net -5 yards in his only touch of the game.
ND will have seven 3 & outs
Kizer will keep on the read option when it's clear the better option was to handoff to RB
Folston will show bursts in the first quarter but leave us wondering why he never got the ball between the tackles the rest of the game.

Final Score: 52-7

Honestly man, if you think so low of ND, find a new team. It's been a rough year but all the sarcasm and open roasting of our team is getting ridiculous.

I don't want them to lose - I REALLY don't - but they will. I'd be willing to bet every last vBuck on that.

It's that time of year, mushroom bruise on Kelly's forehead. This gets ugly early and often. Now way these kids play hard for him.

According to the header on the site, Notre Dame is playing VA. tech today. I know it's been a rough season, but can't the mods or whoever takes care of that at least have it updated by the next game day. Even with all the crap, some of us still give a damn about Fighting Irish football.

Something feels different this game day morning. Just have a hunch we come out and fucking step on their throat. Don't know why and have no reason but this morning feels good.

Lets go get one, Irish....it's going to be a long off season.

LOL...this isn't even the right thread. This is 2015 game day which we won so I'm cool with.

I posted here because I figured this to be the most active thread of the day and maybe the mods would see it. It's sad that we're posting in last year's USC thread about today's game. It goes to my point about many people not giving a damn about Irish football because it's been a crappy season.

If you click on the game at the top of the message board it takes you to 2015 game, not this year. Think it was just a simple mistake by one of the mods. But to your point, I agree...but who can blame? It's been a tough season.

I don't think so low of ND...man. I think low of the HC. 100% coaching is why ND has lost every game...and why they will get embarrassed today....man.

Gameday crew across the board picks USC (not surprising). Herbie, however, was very hesitant...as he should be.

Let's play some ball.
