No post-game clog since the opener; I think it has been long enough without that huh? So let's get back to 500 tomorrow with a victory over Pitt so I can see the Irish Guard "skilled marchers" do their thing after the game.
Irish are favored by 6 which is a pretty big spread on college bets. Over under is about 50 from what I read so a good amount of scoring is expected. Feel like the odds makers are a bit optimistic on us again. Pitt has had some big injuries including the star running back Dion Lewis who burned us big time last year. Their WR was expected to be a stud and has only caught 15 passes. They did win big last week and might be on a uptick and we seem to save Wannstadt's job too often so I am a bit concerned about the outcome.
Godfather keys to the game. Once again is starts with us stopping the run; if we do that we will win. Only really one big play by BC last week but Pitt may have more, we should try to keep it to 2-3. On offense, I hope to see more consistency; particularly no 3 and outs. We should score a chunk of points again. Most important in my view is whether the team continues to show improvement across the board. If we do, we will win and I will feel very good about the remainder of the season particular how good we can be in November when we face Utah and USC.
I had this down as a loss in my original season layout but in order to get back to my mid-season prediction of 3-3 I need it to be a win so let's pick the Irish in a hard fought but satisfying victory.
ND 28, Pitt 24
GO IRISH!
