My fear is that Ash over-thinks things and returns to his tendencies. If the second game vs Caleb taught us anything its that you gotta play aggressive and take the defense to them and force them to make mistakes.

The only way to play SC is to punch them in the mouth and then watch them fold.
Their offense is a different animal now. That approach with Williams worked because he would run around in the backfield so much.

Cold for ND is different that cold for SoCal. LA is still only getting to the high 60s as the overnight low.
Right but when was the last time SC was truly adversely affected by cold temps? They’ve been playing for decades & I can’t recall one time that it helped ND.

ND -8.5 in look ahead line

Interesting middle case, I could see that shifting above 10 or below 7 depending on this weekends results

Last year, USCs whole strategy seemed to be identify the 1v1 matchup and hope they can win 50/50 balls. It eliminated our pass rush and they won more than their fair share of tossups, until they didn’t at the end.

If we sit back in zone, Maiava will carve us up.

We’ve got to get pressure on him and get him off platform.
Not to mention the various PI’s we got sucked into. If Grey doesn’t get his pick 6 that game it’s the worst game of his career. They picked on him all game. They will try it again.

Wow, seems low. Sargarin ratings imply Irish should be like -14 rn. So does Dokter Entropy. Slate Fluker would be -12. Lowest I can see is actually FPI which would be about -8 I guess.

Absolutely we have to hope that USC wins. That screws Michigan probably, and we only have our own chance to oust one of the two on our own. Can't understand why simple logic isn't simple. Also can't understand having the past ruin my own present or future. The best way to shove it in anyone face (if one must stoop to that) is to win while they "finish as an also-ran."
