Week 11 Prediction Poll (BC v. ND @ Fenway)

[gkIrish]

Votes are public. Spread is ND -16.5.

 

[gkIrish]

Trap game for us and lots of factors that may make us feel uncomfortable (i.e. baseball stadium, same sideline, etc.). This is BC's Super Bowl and I think their defense is probably as good as Temple's. We will find a way to win but I don't think we will look impressive.

ND 26
BC 17

 

[GoldenDomer]

I think we'll actually be up for this one. Cool environment, uniforms, etc.

 

[ickythump1225]

There's going to be a lot of crying and moaning when ND wins this game like 24-3 or something similar.

 

[IrishLion]

BC's got a good defense, but an atrocious offense.

I see Wake Forest all over again.

ND 31, BC 10.

 

[irish4ever]

Another ND-BC slugfest. BC plays the Irish tough again, but prevail 24-13.

 

[wizards8507]

I was at the BC-FSU game and it was hideous. ND wins, but not in a rout.

 

[GO IRISH!!!]

I actually think ND will have to come from behind late (again) to win this one. I don't think it will be a final drive of the game to win type of scenario, but I am predicting we are behind entering the 4th quarter.

 

[woolybug25]

We win 41 - 28 and the entire site loses its collective mind that we gave up 28 to a terrible BC offense.

To be fair that would be pretty bad if we gave up 28...

 

[Section20Row27]

ND wins 24-14.

We will start slow, and they will have a couple of big plays. Our defense locks them up in the second half, and we pull away.

Joe Schmidt 30 tackles, 15 for loss. ND wins 45-3.

 

[dang227]

23-13 Irish

 

[irishfan]

This will be as boring as the Wake game. 23-3. Their offense is terrible. They're averaging 8.75 points per game against FBS opponents...

Trick play alert!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

37-20, ND

How much were you laughing when you typed this?

 

[Cackalacky]

27-10. Handle them easy but in a ugly game. I think BC defense is tough. May be lucky to get 17 points.

#3 FEI Defense
#2 S&P Defense

#126 FEI Offense
#126 S&P Ofense

 

[irishfanjho15]

I like a palindrome here, 31-13. ND prevails.

WF was the trap game. This is essentially a road game in disguise. Unis will get every hyped for a fast start.

Yeah I'm not really worried about a "trap" scenario here, that was more WF. I just think BC's defense is too damn good to get truly housed by anyone this year. I think we control the game the whole way through and win in "boring" fashion leaving IE, DD, and the ND fanbase restless for another week. Kirk Herbstreit will then send out a series of tweets about how Iowa is a "lock" to get in even if they lose the B1G title game and half the fanbase will move to San Diego and take part in a mass, ritual suicide.

 

[IrishLax]

BC is surprisingly dangerous, because ND tends to give up lucky/stupid big plays. And the most points anyone has scored on BC this year is 34 (Clemson).

Game will be a slog and hopefully ND wins by multiple TDs. I'll predict 23-10 on 2 TDs and 3 Yoon FGs.

 

[irishff1014]

34-24 Irish. Defense gives up a few big plays. Offense can't run the ball but have success throwing. Have a good special teams night.

 

[mick2]

this game could really help determine if we're a playoff team in the eyes of the committee, clemson and fsu struggled with bc, we need to keep the pedal on the floor in my opinion. a big win would be a plus, any win won't hurt, and obviously a loss is devastating.

Bc, just like wake and temple, will play hack-a-shaq on our receivers all night, crash on the run and see if we can find a way to create offense Hopefully the refs control the PI calls from the start to show that it won't be tolerated.

It'll also be another raucous atmosphere right in BC's back yard, hopefully our boys will be a little more motivated than the temple game.

holding out hope that kelly has a gameplan to destroy these guys, but we haven't seen it all come together yet, and with stanford lurking, i see another tedious slow choke out by ND over bc 27-10 or so. but man I'd love to be wrong and watch us run up the score on these a$$holes

I hope BC also opts for the Pitt strategy of single covering Fuller with no over the top help all game.

 

[Bugzly21]

30-6. 3 TD's and 3 FG's by the offense.

 

[Tejas]

Irish win it with a late safety, their second of the day

4-3 for the good guys

 

[rocket66]

Need to drop 40 on these hacks. Could care less how good their defense is, their offense is rotten and we should create great field position and a couple turnovers. Time to turn it up a dial for 2 more weeks.

oops yeah your right Pitt didn't double cover fuller, I meant temple. I would like to see that pitt strategy again too, probably won't happen.
