I’ll go 38-13 Lucky Charms guys. I’d love to upset them, but I’m also realistic. Hope I’m wrong.Marshall 10
ND 31
Only game this year I am not taking the Herd to win.
This is the type of game to go 90’s Boise State and pull out all the trick plays.If we win it will be MU 27 ND 24.
However if we lose this game it's probably going to be a blowout. While I could see us getting an upset I can also see this came going a lot like the 2016 Louisville game. We'll hang around for a quarter to a quarter and a half, but then ND gets a big play that will open the flood gates and we'll lose something like 44-7.
I know much is made about defense being important, but the offense is even more important. Especially in this game. If we are not able to keep pace with ND, the defense will gas out, and then this game will get out of hand.
As I posted in a couple other threads it is important that Huff and Trickett call an aggressive game and push the ball down the field. Dinking and dunking most likely will not get the job done.
We're going to punch them in the mouth and punch them hard and punch them over and over until they are knocked out. If we go into "protection mode" at any time during this game we'll lose it.
Another key to this game and it should go without saying, but we had three of them last week. NO FREE KICKS OUT OF BOUNDS. For crying out loud the field is 52 yards wide.
If you need to I guess. I have just watched too many games get lost because coaches try to get too cute and out think the room. Maybe you keep that SoL play in your back pocket. Also that was 2007 when BSU did that against OU.This is the type of game to go 90’s Boise State and pull out all the trick plays.
agree.Odds and matchups aren’t in our favor but don’t want to try and match big play for big play. That’s where we get in trouble in a hurry
I still don't know of that's more on our WRs or the garbage schemes and route trees we use. Someone posted that they were watching Memphis and the announcers were criticizing their offense. Saying it was too simple/plain and not allowing the WRs to get separation.Not sure that would be our strength and would play into there’s. For one, I’m not sure our WR’s can get off the ball and create space against their secondary. We’ve had issues with that in years past.
Secondly, their DB’s are very good cover guys, they did a really good job against Ohio State’s wideouts Saturday. Put that, with their front 7 being very good, especially their 2 DE’s there’s going to be a lot of pressure on our OL…..getting the ball out quick is going to have to happen….try to get some 1-1’s in space, get some downfield blocking…have a good running game.

with that said, I see Irish 38, Herd 17.
Wonder why?I still don't know of that's more on our WRs or the garbage schemes and route trees we use. Someone posted that they were watching Memphis and the announcers were criticizing their offense. Saying it was too simple/plain and not allowing the WRs to get separation.
We are out recruited, out athleted(made up word), out manned, out resourced, etc, etc. We can’t/won’t beat them straight up. Not saying we can’t, just going to take some outside the box thinking in my opinion. I’ve never understood why coaches/teams at ALL levels don’t pull out all the stops when your chances are slim. Absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain. Give yourself a chance, hell, at least make Sports Center to help with recruiting.If you need to I guess.

What you say is true, but running plays you don't always run can just as easily end in disaster.We are out recruited, out athleted(made up word), out manned, out resourced, etc, etc. We can’t/won’t beat them straight up.

I think you have to start the game with a "normal" offensive game plan you think can be successful and see how it goes for at least the first few possessions... If you get down more than 2 scores, then go for broke. The difference between losing by 21 and 35 means absolutely nothing if your all-or-nothing shots don't work.We are out recruited, out athleted(made up word), out manned, out resourced, etc, etc. We can’t/won’t beat them straight up.

I believe but not unrealistic. It would like a crapload of bounces to go our way and none ND's way for us to win. Would love to be proven wrong, and if that happens I will admit to my dumba$$ pick. I think we will do better than most expect(which is way my pick is 1/2 the spread), but don't see ND falling off a cliff.31-21 Herd (real fans always believe)
