Predict the Last Five Games

[Riddickulous]

Washington State: Closer than we think. Sorry, guys, but I think this will be the case. If Shinskie can throw on our defense, surely the Washington State quarterback can do the same. Jimmy Clausen, Golden Tate, and the offense will have to outscore the other team. ND 31, WSU 21

Navy: Our run defense is solid. Navy never throws on first and second down, so if we can stop them when they do throw, we'll be fine. With Floyd, we'll roll. ND 42, Navy 14

Pittsburgh: Bill Stull has been good this year. Freshman running back Dion Lewis is tearing it up, as well. This one will be extremely tough. ND 31, Pitt 28

UConn: Tougher than expected. ND 28, UConn 24

Stanford: Clausen vs. Luck. The Irish win on a fourth quarter touchdown drive. ND 31, Stanford 28

Kinda like how many thought that the Nevada game was going to be a close call? C'mon the Washington State game will be a blowout.

 

[Bubba]

We win the next 2. Navy will be a closer game than WSU.

Not trying to be a hater, but we could close out on an 0-3 run to end the season. I hope we have Floyd back for the Pitt game, or they just might man-handle us. UConn will be the easiest out of the final 3 games. Control the run game and Stanford is a win. Most likely, I think we lose to Pitt but win the other 2, making us 9-3. No BCS bowl. I hope they prove me wrong.

Kaepernick > Shinskie.

The difference between this week and the first week of the season is that our secondary's confidence is at an extremely low level.

They only scored 16 points on us. BC is a rivalry game, WSU is WSU. If its not a blowout, I'll be very surprised.

[NY_IRISH_FAN]

I think all are close wins except for wsu that'll be a blowout

 

[jason_h537]

I do not think that Pitt is as god as advertised. I am hoping this is our coming out party. The game we put it all together and just whoop ass.

Washington State-W 49-17
Navy-W-38-21
Pitt-W-34-31
UConn-W-35-27
Stanford-W-38-28

We are ranked #25 now. Win our next two games, top 20. Beat Pitt, top 16, win our last 2, top 14 with a chance at a BCS bowl

 

[GDomer09]

Is anybody else worrried that we only scored 20 points against BC? Is BC's D better than most of our final competitors.

 

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

BC was dedicated to stopping the big play which kept us from scoring a lot but it kept their offense off the field.

 

[JefMaj]

CW threw one long pass against BC the rest were dink n dunk.
He threw everything against the run. These guys were playing upon the offense so much, I couldn't believe it was our same formations. Dared them to beat us with that pass. In the next 5 - we need a balance.

 

[NDMontana]

I expect the boys to trip up one more time. This defense is going to cost ND at least one more game that they shouldn't lose. It just seems inevitable.

 

[Ancient Hunter]

I hope pits blow out Syracuse (which is very likely) and move closer down to top 10, that'll be the win that should move us into a BCS game!

pending we get no more L's that is.

It's a road game. Playing W-st. away from home should be a good warmup for winning another road game. The Pitt RB is good but very much like the BC back we shut down his week. With Floyd back we should be scoring every time we get the ball.

Allow me to interject a quote that the HC I coach under put on the scouting report this week.

Native American Proverb: "Before success, chop wood and carry water. After success, chop wood and carry water."

Five and Oh Baby.

 

[shortnd]

We MUST beat Pitt, That can help shut Mark May up, Stanford will be a tough game. Navy, UConn, and WSU should be wins.

No doubt. I would like to add one. This is a strong one and indicative of where we are going:

Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing, and always come back again to where they were. The life of a man is a circle from childhood to childhood, and so it is in everything where power moves.

The next 5 games will be wins. The circle is not yet complete. Yay, though we approach the tenth hour...

Go IRISH!

Dude you are the rogue amongst all pot heads. How's a toker such a realist? You would not enjoy me stoned...

[phork]

WSU is like 119 out of 120 in most defensive categories. If Clausen and company do not light these chumps up for 50 points then something is wrong. And frankly in order to get into the BCS you are going to need a whole lot of style points. Beat the teams you should beat, and annihilate the teams you should annihilate.

ND should win out, I say should because I also called them to lose one they shouldn't down the stretch and feel that game might be Stanford.

So WSU Clausen throws for 400+ and 3TDs. Tate catches 200 of those and 2 of those TDs, Rudolph has 100 and the rest is split between Kamara, Parris (If he is ok) and Toma. Allen rushes for 113 yards and 2 more TDs. Hughes gets 50 yards and a TD.

 

[WabashFalcon]

Until further notice, NDOM's negativity is being attributed to the fact he was fisted by an elephant. Only reason why he's been so angry for so long.

 

[phork]

I just find it funny and hugely ironic that while you knock him and his predictions, he is currently winning the IrishEnvy Yahoo Pickem game.

Pitt is going to be a tough game...Road Game, but a lot of Irish fans will be there. Stull has been playing great. Two tough receivers (wish we had Baldwin). One of the best running attacks around and they can rush the passer.

Thats just because i forgot to play 3 or 4 weeks

I predect we are up 28 or 35 at halftime and Dayne starts the 3rd quarter with Goodman, Walker and Shaq
