Tenuta is going to bring at least 7 on every play and maybe get to Malik once each half...we'll have receivers open all over the field. And their not going to have much luck moving the ball, especially if the weather is bad. Let's just hope we get out injury free.

I hope you're right about Tenuta. Would love to see Zaire stay upright almost all game facing blitzes, picking them apart, driving Virginia crazy.

Yeah me too, I think I will be. We've all seen how he runs his D and I just think we're too good up front. They just made Josh Rosen look like Peyton Manning.

Zaire's skill set is a matchup nightmare for UVA. He SHOULD have an answer for no matter what they throw at him.

i may be over thinking this, but i have the feeling that this is a statement game for ND to find out how for real we really are. i'm not saying we have to win by 40, but a clean dominating performance i believe will send the right message to the rest of the country......whatever that's worth

And then everyone can tell us how pitiful UVA is and it means nothing, a la Texas.

And then we'll hear how GT was overrated next week after winning by 20........this would be the most fun game ever if it happened every Sunday.

Amen to that, and I anticipate it! The next week it will be about how Clemson was decimated by injury and we're not really suer if the Irish are that good. Whatevs!

Just looked at weather.com for the forecast. 5% chance of rain at 3pm, then 0% chance until 7pm.

Agree. Don't crawl into the mud and get into a pissing match with these little pipsqueaks. Throat punch UVA straight away, and then walk all over their rotting corpse for 60 minutes.

Anybody know who's calling the game? If it's Mike Patrick I will rip my ears off

I'm getting annoyed with the way this scUM game is dragging along. Not sure it will be done by 3:30.

Bit worried about the backs picking up the blitz, and the annual wtf game... Aside from that ND should be fine here IMO.

If we want to be thought of as elite, which we do, these are the type of teams we need to steamroll. We don't necessarily need to win by 4 touchdowns but we need to exert our authority on them and never let the game be in doubt or look sloppy. You can win by a good margin and still look bad. For examples of that look at Purdue and Syracuse last year.

For those away from a TV (like me) the game is on the watch ESPN app. Which is free if you have ESPN in your cable package.
