Posted September 19, 20177 yr ND should be taking a step up from the likes of Temple and BC, but a step down from Georgia. Does that mean a 15 point win? Michigan St. seems to have a pretty good defense, but they haven't been tested by a decent offense yet. They seem to have a pretty decent offense, but they've played two defenses ranked in the 120's of total defense. So basically, they haven't been tested, they're coming off a bye and we have no idea what they are as a team. Given all of that, I'll take Notre Dame 30-20.
September 19, 20177 yr 35-13..... Michigan State lost a ton of starters and depth the last few years... ND shows what they got and they crack top 25... Edited September 19, 20177 yr by Domer Dude
September 19, 20177 yr MSU always seems to look bad early in the year against cupcakes until they play ND and look good. That being said I think we have MUCH more talent and a hungry team. ND 34 MSU 17
September 19, 20177 yr They always play us tough and they will hold on every play. Wimbush will have even more problems throwing and finding running space. They will load the box to stop the run and Adams will only have 50 yards running. Dexter will get 1 carry so BK can say, see he got a carry. Irish win in one of the most boring games that I can remember. 6-3 Irish. Really, more like 13-3

September 19, 20177 yr Come one, this is just... ...sadly, probably true. I was being a little facetious. But I can actually see that happening.
September 20, 20177 yr ND 31 MSU 13 for sure. They did lose quite a number of starters, although they were pretty bad last year so that probably doesn't mean too much.
September 20, 20177 yr Come one, this is just... ...sadly, probably true. As long as they win... Fck it. It's going to be a low scoring, tight game. Keep in mind, this is also in E. Lansing.
September 20, 20177 yr State is a very hostile environment. And a night game on top of that. But we have more talent, I believe. ND 24 Sparty 21
