If ND wants to get to the BCS title game, its biggest obstacles may be the other top 4 teams. So we need one or two of them to lose in November somewhere along the way. Today presents several opportunities with Alabama, KSU and Oregon all facing tough tests. So as much as it pains me to do it, this is one of those rare times I will be rooting for LSU, Oklahoma State and hated USC. Yuck!
The Irish face a 4 - 4 Pitt team that has given us some trouble in recent years; I remember we barely got out of Pittsburgh with a win last year. Papers have us as 17 point favorites which is pretty healthy for anyone. The team vibe feels good again and I expect we will play well on both sides of the ball. A blowout is possible and sure would be nice but our opponents always bring it so I doubt the parking lot will empty out at halftime.
Keys to the game.
Not a lot of secrets to the game plan today. Run the ball. Keep Pitt off balance by mixing in the pass and Golson on the read option. Score touchdowns not field goals. On defense, just keep doing the usual stuff and keep them out of the end zone. Pitt does not have the kind of talent that can hurt us with a bunch of big plays. Oh yeah, NO TURNOVERS.
So Notre Dame wins today. Sunny day, 45 degrees at kickoff. Will be rather chilly in second half but dry. Hope to have a fly over! Pitt is bringing its band so we get two shows today.
ND 30, Pitt 10
Go Irish!
