WEEK 2
WEEK 2
YTD: 7 - 9 -5.2
Well my Grandaughter came by the other day and was preparing for a spelling bee contest and I figured I would see how well she could spell.
I asked her to spell overrated. She looks at me and simply replies by spelling NOTRE DAME. I handed her 10 dollars and told she would win for sure. We are not big Irish fans that is for sure. But when it comes to $$$ I am a fan of any team.
One thing cannot be ignored. This Irish defense is loaded and is hungry again. The Irish have given up 3 TD's on D the last 5 games. Stat wise they dominated USF last week. Turnovers and un-timley penalities sealed their fate.
Blow horn Kelly has changed his QB. What a shock. I see this happening again and perhaps all season long. Kelly needs to take look at old film of the Irish. He doesn't need them to throw it 50 times to win. The Irish need to run, run and run some more and let the D take care of the rest. If this team had Tony Rice at QB they would be a top 5 team by years end.
Michigans win last week was about as predictable as Burgess Meredith aka Lou Holtz picking the Irish to win everything year in and year out. Michigans D is still suspect at best and Robinson is about as accurate as bent sights on a pellet gun. He has a 54% comp percentage for his career and I don't see him going off passing/running the ball like last year.
Look for the Irish to apply massive pressure on Robinson when he drops back to pass and for the Irish front 4 to wreak havoc on the Michigan O line.
Expect ND to rack up massive yards on the ground and then throw in some timely screens and short passes to control the field and the scoreboard. The defense will take care of the rest.
