Since it's early Saturday morning where I am, I thought I'd go ahead and get this thing started! Irish 52 Wolverines 21

I got the 48 right for ND but was short a TD for Rice.

This time I will get it right.

 

Irish 38 - 20

Go Irish! Beat scUM!!!

hope they pressure Gardner and blitz often

tired of seeing mediocre michigan QB's have a field day vs ND

Let's go boys!!!!!! Go out on top!!!

Nervous and guardedly optimistic. Not terribly concerned about our O. I am thinking our D has to bring it

BK's record against Michigan is 1-3. He better win tonight.

I look at it this way: more aggressive defense, BK calling the plays, Golson looks great, Jaylon will be after Gardner, our running backs and offensive line are too good to contain. I like our chances.

I'm kind of hoping that Smith will be shadowing Funchess...

I think you'll see some of Jaylon on Funchess and some of Jaylon on Gardner. I think VanGorder will change it up a bit. I think Onawalu might play a big role spying Gardner in this game though so that Jaylon can neutralize Funchess.

 

Is Funchess a burner? Isn't he more of a TE they spread out, like an Eifert? I'd hope any if the LB/DB could run with him, at which point he can use his size as an advantage, but Jaylon is only 6'2" anyway.

BK's record against Michigan is 1-3. He better win tonight.

 

His record against UM with EG at the helm is 1-0. Let's double that today!

True. But if I'm correct, Jaylon has a freaky wingspan.

 

He probably does. I just think the way they win is to get their run game going. If rather have Jaylon stopping the run and making Gardner win with his arm, then let the run game get going and let him throw off play action.

I would love to see BK start off running today to set up the pass. I really think they should be able to pound the rock today. But her never does it. He's definitely a pass first, run second, type of coach.

Also, does anyone else want to see ND on D first? It seems like they always get the ball first and go 3 and out. I have to wonder if BK scripts his first 10 plays at all. I know there are some good coaches that watch a lot of film that have those first 10 plays scripted that are almost always successful.
