BYU (the other religious independent football school) comes into town this weekend at 4-3. Hoping the weather is much better as rain should clear out by game time and we should be treated to a nice fall day. After a another heart stopper last week, I am hoping for a more comfortable win this time.
Most papers have us at 13-14 point winners with an over/under of 40. Forty points total would be something considering our defense and our so-so scoring offense. I think any game we score over 20 points will likely be a win this year as history has shown. I am hoping to see our offense click again this week and get some variety going so Oklahoma has something to think about.
Many of the pundits have suggested this could be a trap game for the Irish. Concerns about looking ahead to Oklahoma, the BCS hype, letdown after the Stanford win, etc. I think the team is so energized right now that we are going to see a good game from ND. BYU is better than their record but they are not a great team. I don't think they will run successfully against us and they do not have the skill position players to blow us away in the passing game. Again, the question is more about some consistency on offense, protecting the ball and scoring some points for us. But we should win.
Predicting we will not cover the spread and everyone will have to stick around for the end again.
ND 27, BYU 17
Go Irish!
