Keep it Up Irish, Keep it Up!

I don’t think this is a trap game. Hope I’m right.

I just don’t think the Boilers have the firepower to make this much of a game. Of course, I just watched Virginia Tech lose to East Carolina after their big win over the Buckeyes last week, so anything is possible.

But I saw a well disciplined but aggressive defense last week and that will not change. If we play as well as we did on that side of the ball this week, it’ll be another shut out. I’m fine with that!

Expect the special teams to give us some fireworks today. After some stellar returns against Rice, that part of our game looked pretty flat last week. I’m guessing they worked a lot on that this week. Here’s betting we see some good results.

I guess this is a home game since it’s on NBC. I’m curious how split the crowd is though. Could be a lot of Purdue fans latching on to Irish tickets given the geography.

No matter, we should be able to score healthily. I’m not sure we’ll cover the 28 point spread, but I picked us to do just that in my football pool, so I’d better predict a score that does that. Look for the second team to score today.

Irish 41, Purdue 10

GO IRISH!!! BEAT BOILERS!!!
