I'm guessing ND puts together at least a semi-solid effort on Senior Day and wins rather comfortably.

 

31-3.

26-9. Go irish!!!

I think the Irish come out ready to play and begin the end the year like a champion.

31-6 Irish!

I'll throw my hat in at 41-13

 

I know, high hopes for the scoring, but I see a defensive TD in our future.

Let's do this a little different this week. Using stats as a basis.

 

On the one hand:

Notre Dame averages a margin of victory at home: 19.8-15.2(compared to 32.4-7 on the road)

We have a huge game next weekend against USC we might look ahead to.(not really a stat...)

 

On the other hand:

-Wake Forest average margin of defeat on the road(1-3record): 6.6-36.6

-Notre Dame has held 7 of 10 opponents to their season low, in WF's case that would be 0 points.(blanked 52-0 @FSU)

-Wake averages 3.1yards per carry, we average allowing 3.21ypc

-Wake is 106th in passer rating with 113.77, we are 10th in opp passer rating with 104.68.

-Wake is 90th in sacks allowed(23), we are 10th in sacks(30)

-Wake is the lowest ranked scoring offense we face this season(108th), we are the best(1st)

 

So what does this say? It says Wake Forest stinks worse than throwing a diaper on a camp fire. They can't run. They can't pass. They can't score. They get crushed on the road. They can't block. They can't stop teams from scoring in the red zone.

 

So my prediction? Do I think we come out flat at home again? No. It's mother effin' Senior Day for the best player to wear a golden helmet in the last 35 years.

 

Irish Roll, 30-0

 

 

 

†This is a curious list:

1.Notre Dame

2.MSU

5.BYU

15.Stanford

15.Michigan

18.Navy

Ok, I'm curious about the curious list.

ND- 27

Wake- 10

Just win, baby...

Ok, I'm curious about the curious list.

 

It's marked with a † to show it's a continuation of Opponent Red Zone TD%. We faced 5 of the top 20 teams in not allowing opposing offenses to score TD in the red zone.(BC is 33, Pit is 34 btw) I think our red zone efficiency has been pretty dreadful but the level of competition we have played has certainly contributed. It's a classic Chicken vs Egg argument.

31-9 Irish.

 

Hold them out of the end zone again. Force 3 field goals.

20-17 nd.....

31-9 Irish.

 

Hold them out of the end zone again. Force 3 field goals.

 

Exactly. Anyone wih a TD figured into Wake Forest's score obviously hasn't watched the Notre Dame defense this year...OR the Wake Forest offense, for that matter!

 

ND 35

WF 6

Irish 38

Deacons 3

 

Teo goes out with a historic senior day by scoring a TD...
