Why do you think we are favored in this game? I know ND hasn't been good but I don't know if we can score points!

[OldSchoolSnapper]

They need action on both sides of the line and if this were E or Notre Dame -3, 90% of the action would be on UW.

You underestimate how good Penn State's defense is.

 

Notre Dame gave up a combined total of 14 sacks to FSU, Toledo, and Purdue. Notre Dame also gave up 264 yards rushing to 0-3 FSU (who lost to Jacksonville State) and allowed Toledo's RB to gain over 100 yards.

 

That's why UW is favored - based on play so far, UW is expected to control the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball.

Notre Dame 115 Wisconsin 6

 

Go Irish!

ND struggled big time to beat an 0-3 Florida State team, then needed a late TD to beat a Toledo team that scored a whopping 6 points against Colorado State. Can't say their beating Purdue at home was all that impressive either.

 

Wisconsin has by far the best defense and the best running game they have faced. They can keep the ball out of Coan's hands. Wisconsin's weakness is finishing off drives in the red zone. I see them overcoming that to an extent and prevailing 27-17.

I really hope they get Mertz settled into the game early and use an actual playbook from the 21st century today.

Sad but true. I wish they would just give Mertz a chance to do something. I thought he would in the bye week scrub game, but nope…

[yourout]

Need to capitalize...dropped pick 6. Settling for a FG in the Red Zone.

[pacopete4]

Maybe it’d be a good thing to get in a shootout. Force the hand a bit. I don’t know. I’m just burnt out of this brand.

[yourout]

Coan might throw for 500 yards.

[pacopete4]

Solid scramble from Coan there. Good kick too. Thanks Irish.

[owbc]

Nice to know we’re not the only team with highly questionable play calling.

[pacopete4]

Run-run-obvious pass situation

 

[sarcasm]It’s a really good plan.[/sarcasm]

[yourout]

As I feared OLine getting its butt kicked.

[pacopete4]

A screen pass on 3rd and 13? You don’t say!

[adambr2]

Paul Chryst offensive game plan:

 

"Hand it off to Mellusi on 1st down and then on 2nd and 3rd just have everyone run around and see if anyone gets open I dunno"

[adambr2]

Now that's better.

[pacopete4]

Would ya look at that.

[adambr2]

Predictably lame and ineffective 4th and 1 call. Edited September 25, 2021 by adambr2

This is the worst o-line this program has had since the 80s.

[yourout]

I vaguely remember Wisconsin having a good offensive line at one time.

[pacopete4]

Worst offensive line the Badgers has had since like 1980?

[yourout]

Sanborn is the next Brendon Kelly....master of the ALMOST sack.

[yourout]

If this games makes the over....Bucky loses.
