Sunseri has struggled this season.

Stop Dion Lewis and ND has a legit chance .

Hopefully these are as accurate as your predictions for BC/ND.

Pittsburgh is another bad team. Notre Dame should win this one too.

Pittsburgh is a tough read. They got dominated in every sense of the word by Miami, blew a game against Utah, and handled two incredibly inferior opponents. I wonder what team shows up. I'm 50/50 on the matter. I like Notre Dame's advantage in coaching, Kelly was 2-1 against the 'stache while at Cincinnati.

Good? Yes. More talented? Absolutely not.

You're 1000% correct that the players in Cincinnati had grasped his system by the time they played Pittsburgh. Crist is still having trouble at times, he either looks like he has a 200 QB rating or a 90 QB rating.

Notre Dame has been pretty solid against the run, and playing Walls and safety help will eliminate their lone wide receiving threat. It basically comes down to the run game once again. Williams, Calabrese and Te'o will clog the middle no doubt. Can the DE's and OLB's win the battle up front and keep Pittsburgh's two good RB's on the ground?

Pitt is pretty one-dimensional at this point. Shut down the run game and they're in trouble.

Our offense has got to be more consistent. A few good drives a game isn't going to cut it in the long run. I'll still chalk it up to the new system, but not much longer. They should be getting comfortable by now.

Can someone explain to me why in God's name this game is a "Sticky"? I mean you may as well Sticky the next EMU game for all that this game has any impact on the National scene. Sure its a nice little football game between "has beens" that the local folks and alumni may some interest in but to Sticky it is a slap in the face to all teams truly worthy of the Sticky

It's so the dumbass, douchebag trolls (like yourself) don't have to scroll too far to make a stupid, asinine, and utterly retarded post about Notre Dame that has no bearing on the game whatsoever.

Looking at your post...looks like it worked.

It will be interesting to see the health of the offensive line. I only remembered Braxston Cave leaving the game, but I saw an interview Kelly did. He said during the 4th quarter, he had 3 backups in the game due to injury. Chris Stewart and Taylor Dever also left the game. He also said he expects all three to be healthy enough to start on Saturday so maybe it will turn out to be a blessing in disguise, getting Golic Jr, Watt, and Nuss some meaningful snaps.

ND has an Ace in the Hole in this one.... Dave Wannstadt is a terrible game day coach who can't win a big game. I see Pitt coming out to take a big lead at the half, only for the Irish to win it down the stretch, 35-34.

I'm sure they were both Notre Dame losing by 7 right? I can predict Ohio State to lose every game by 7 from here til the end of time. Odds are I'm going to be right eventually and also be called a troll/hater. Do you have any kind of reasoning behind Pitt winning by 7 or are you able to see in the future?
