"Dustin Pedroia doesn't have the strength or bat speed to hit major-league pitching consistently, and he has no power......He probably has a future as a backup infielder if he can stop rolling over to third base and shortstop." Keith Law, 2006

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!

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.

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…

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.

Run-run-obvious pass situation

 

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