Looks like a sleepy South Bend kind of day. Cold and rainy coming out of a bye. ND has to avoid any ST scores or defensive scores (or short fields) and they should slog through an ugly win. If the Irish step on their dick, it could be a long day.

The late Dick Butkus told a story once that the Bears defense held the opponent and forced them to punt. As they came off the field, Butkus told the starting QB..."Hold 'em." LOL

I don't think this ND offense is as bad as THAT, but my state of mind as a fan right now when it comes to this team is that the offense has to hold the opposition by not doing stupid things and letting Al' Golden Army dictate the tempo.

This one should be okay, but bah gawd I would not be surprised if it ended up a street fight.

Freeman's sole job before this game... Is changing his signals. Narduzzi Is just like Saban, Harbaugh, Brohm, Venables... That Georgia nobody... This Michigan thing Is not an Isolated incident.

If that’s true and we aren’t then shame on us.

Lucky for us in this case, Parker don't know signs.

I have a weird feeling ND offense is going to go off today. My feelings make no sense, but here they are anyway.

It's possible, especially if Greathouse and Thomas are actually healthy. Biggest difference from first four games to the most recent four is that the passing game went from hyper efficient to total shit.

I'd love to see Tobias break 100 and 1 td...i think even a single game like that could help both him and our fan base entering next season. We need to see, something.

Wake is getting torched by Florida State at home right now.

This same Wake defense held Pitt to 17 points, they've given up double that in 1 half to FSU.

This game has no business being remotely close. Bury them early and send the Duz home with another embarrassing L.

I think it’s going to be as simple as our wrs making a bunch of plays and we blow them out, or they don’t get open and it’s a game that’s closer than it should be

I wouldn't mind seeing Sam keep a few reads. He's hardly kept any this year.
