Looking forward to the game tomorrow, it should tell us quite a bit. Our newspaper has UNC as a 7.5 point winner and that seems reasonable. This is the best team we have faced so far though I would not say they are up there with the elite programs at the top of the polls.
WHY WE MIGHT WIN
On the plus side we have overcome some so-so play to win four games. The passing game is clicking and we have some playmakers. I think the team has shown some steady improvement in some facets of the game. One of the most encouraging things I read or hear in ND news is that the team is building confidence and I think that means a great deal in college ball.
WHY WE PROBABLY WILL LOSE
This is a statement game for UNC. They had a big win over UCONN, but let's face it you don't make history beating UCONN in football. National stage, turnaround program, playing at home. I am guessing they will come out spitting bricks. The Irish will be on the road again for only the second time so watch out for some nerves. Our kicking game and running game are shaky at best.
So my view is that this game will go one of two ways with the first 5 minutes of each half being the key. If UNC comes out on fire and a couple things go against us, watch out for a blowout for the bad guys. If we maintain our composure and play our best I think we can make a game of it. But even then UNC is going to win.
I am betting on scenario #2 where we play well and make it interesting but fall a bit short. Final Score UNC 31, ND 27. Take the Irish with the 7.5 points.
GO IRISH. BEAT Tar Heels.
