I found this thread entertaining. notredame.forums.rivals.com/threads/dont-sleep-on-ball-state.127987/I think that the primary question going into the game is Notre Dame’s mindset. Coming off a big win last week over rival Michigan, will they rest up or come out looking to make a statement that they are dominant and intend to contend for playoff. It is unquestioned that they have bigger, stronger, faster, more athletic and talented players. My biggest fear their D Line destroying our O line and hitting our QB hard and often. Our RB’s, as good as they are, will probably have a difficult day. If we can keep our QB on his feet, we have a chance to keep this game from getting too far out of hand. I could see this being as close as 42 - 21, but I could also see 70 - 7. My prediction: 48 - 17 ND |

Yep, this will happen.

Most are spouting the conventional wisdom. Most of the time the conventional wisdom is correct thus it's name...but...I hope we go in there with a chip on our shoulder. We will see if this group has what the Nate Davis teams had. I never saw them nervous, not in Ann Arbor (they were #2 in the nation), not in front of Nebraska, and not in front of an Indiana crowd for out first big five win. If you are attending the festivities in South Bend don't forget to photograph the scoreboard.

Hopefully we can after this game. |

We are not a team suddenly capable of giving ND a run. Wtf?

BSU0, I'm convinced. I'm bringing my camera. Don't let me down!

I must agree with the projections that BSU will lose and it may be my heart talking but I've said 38-14.
But, on any given day things can happen...I believe we were a -17 point dog in basketball and we shocked the sports world...let's do it again.

rm I haven't seen any similarities with the Davis teams either but remember what I wrote. This will be a chance to step up and give us some hope that we have made progress with group .

Since it's Brian Kelly, I want us to score 17+ points.
I prefer a win by 20+, but I'm being pragmatic.

If Navy can do it year after year after year we should be able to make it a game.

Other than Navy being super disciplined tough military SOBs who run the triple option, sure, we can hang just like them.

cardfan I know you are better than that...I also realize you are trying to be realistic. If you are going to South Bend I hope you are at least carrying your phone to take that picture.
