You Heard it Here First

Is it Oklahoma, or Alabama?

As in, do we go into hostile territory like we did against the Sooners two years ago and win unexpectedly, or do we run up against a clearly better team and have our heads handed to us?

I think most of America is predicting the latter. Haven’t heard too many people give us a chance. Bias, sure. They’d love for us to lose and “go away” from discussions of the playoff.

But Florida State isn’t as good as their team last year. And they’re certainly not as good as the 2012/13 Crimson Tide.

But can we win? Will we win?

I really want to pick us tonight. It’s one of those “I have a feeling” games. We survived the scare from North Carolina, but haven’t played anyone on the road yet, which Godfather points out is certainly weird for 18 October.

Here’s one place I disagree with Godfather though. I think we can play a shootout and survive, and I think tonight is going to be a shootout. If we don’t turn the ball over, we can keep up with FSU, and our defense has some new wrinkles, I’m betting.

So here we go, what’s it going to be? Arrrrgghhh.

Well, I thought we’d be 4-2 by now, so what do I know? Given that the Irish have showed me up already, I’m going to go on a limb and predict a win.

ND 41, FSU 38

GO IRISH!!! BEAT SEMINOLES!!!
