I am picking ND over Stanford by 14 points.

 

There are so many reasons to select Stanford:

1. They are ranked 19 by Sagarin while ND is 46.

2. They have an SOS of 13th vs ND"s of 25th.

3. They are 1-0 against top 10 Sagarin-ranked teams and

2-3 vs top 30 teams while ND is 0-2 against top 30 teams,

not having played against any current ranked top 10 teams.

4. Stanford has the 3rd best rusher in the country while

our defense has shown it can't stop the rush.

5. Stanford is a 9-point favorite.

 

BUT, I think we beat them by 14 because this is CW's, JC's,

and GT's last game at ND. They all have a nasty taste in their mouth

because of losing and they are tired of being pushed around

and getting black eyes. This is their moment to let it all hang

out, torpedoes be damned, there is nothing to lose. It's brass

knuckle time - nobody to impress anymore - just go out and

get the job done. I look for them to be very impressive offensively

and they just will end up being too darned good to stop. Yes Stanford

will score some points but they won't be able to keep up with

our dominating offense.

 

Book it!

Rock, I felt the same way before the Pitt game.

 

 

Then the Pitt game started.

 

 

The reality is, this is a team that consistently loses to ranked teams / teams with winning records. Heck, we haven't even gotten LUCKY and beaten somebody we shouldn't. I wish I could believe we are going to win this game but I expect another L.

They couldn't even beat UConn on senior day @ home. I'm sorry, but I see Stanford massacring ND like they did against USC.

Last week I picked UConn by 3 in OT. My head is enormous right now such that I can barely get through doorways and I'm starting to believe I'm ND (Nostre Damus) reincarnated.

 

Don't doubt me!

 

Irish by 14.

I'm with ya, Rock AND I think it's a blessing that AA is OUT for the game. They will have to rely on Riddick or Gray or Hughes to carry the load and those boys can be A LOAD . . . meanwhile, JC and co can open up the passing attack . . . we held U$C rusher and others in check when we bring the "A" game, and they ceratinly will be motivated to bring an "A+" game to send Charlie and JC, Golden etc off in style.

Which games this year have you two been dead cert of an ND win? Just curious.

 

I so want to believe - and will always root for the Irish!

 

i'm just poking fun at myself. I totally called an Irish win last weekend. I guaranteed it.

 

I'd have guaranteed Nevada and Michigan...after that it all went down hill...

 

This Saturday we're going to be embarrassed...
