Even with the Irish defenses propensity to give up a few big plays this year, I don't understand how anyone sees Wake Forest scoring their biggest point total of the year against the Irish.

Even with the Irish playing a whole lot of guys.

My biggest hope is guys like Grace, get to play a lot. You can add Morgan and Coney to that as well.

I want to see Williams get his shit straightened out, too.

And I would love to see Wimbush for a while with the keys to the first string offense!

From Keith Arnold's Pre-Game Six Pack:

Notre Dame will recognize the accomplishments of 27 seniors and graduate students on Saturday, the final home game for a group that has won a lot of games. Sitting at 37-11 since the recruiting class of 2012 arrived on campus, winning three more games this season will mean this group averaged 10 wins a season—no small feat.

I agree with the guys at II. They jokingly* said to take an opposing average scoring offense and add 7 points when they play ND --> Means WF will score about 25 in theory --> But they're so bad offensively, that if ND gives up 20+ to this team it's not going to look good.

With that said, I'm hoping the first team gets out of the gate fast with a score being roughly 35-7 by the time the backups come in. I'd expect them to give up a TD and score a TD.

Final prediction: ND 42, WF 14

Edit: ND is obviously not giving up 7 more points than what a team is averaging. I believe it was not meant to be taken literally.

From Keith Arnold's Pre-Game Six Pack:

They talked about this on II podcast. If they win three more games and hit the 40-win mark, it'll be the first time a recruiting class at ND has won 40 or more games in their career dating back to like 1990. That class had Jerome Bettis, Jeff Burris, and Bryant Young and they went 40-8-1. Very impressive feat for that class. Not to mention the potential for two championship appearances (depending on how this year finishes).

Add 7?? ND has held 6 of 9 opponents below their average by more than 7 points. That list includes Texas, Clemson, U$C, Navy, GT, and Temple. Pitt was too but they get credit for the early Christmas present from Wimbush

Facts have no place in this discussion...

I don't think it was meant to be taken literally. I'll edit my post to reflect that. I believe it was sarcasm and suggesting that like every other team, Wake will "get up" for ND, open up the play book, and make it their Super Bowl.

I've never heard of their quarter back, but I'm sure he'll be a projected first rounder after Saturday....

Which one?

The one that can't find the endzone with a compass and a map?

Or the one who never seems to be able to get his helmet on right without licking the edges?
