Hang on to the Ball!

If we can keep the turnover ratio down for a change, we should win tonight. Wake Forest will be playing like this is its "game of the century" like every other first time opponent of ND. You can bet their stadium of only 31,000 will be rockin' unless we put them in their place early. Have to watch that we do not let them hang around for too long and gain confidence. The Demon Deacons have a prolific pass attack that will test our dbacks and safeties. I will be interested to see how our pass rush performs against a more traditional offense again.

The run game will be key against an undersized team, I expect our backs to have a good day and that will open up some nice lanes for passing as the game progresses. Expect us to put up lots of points again. But we have to avoid the turnovers! Did you hear that Tommy?

November is our month. Spread is 14, I will go with that.

GO Irish!

Sure hope you're right, Godfather. I agree with the turnover issue - that kills many a good drive and reverses momentum at key moments. I'm not as optimistic, I think it will be a squeaker with us pulling off a heart stopper by a field goal, 27-24. Go Irish!

Rosie your prediction was much better than mine. Another schizo performance by the Irish but we got the W. On to out nations capital!
