All-time series records vs 2012-13 opponents and predictions for this season.

[NDHoosier101]

vs Navy- Notre Dame Leads 72-12-1 Navy just doesn't have the talent. 45-17 W

vs Purdue- Notre Dame Leads 55-26-2 Purdue is worse than they normally are...38-3 W

@ MSU- Notre Dame Leads 46-28-1 Tough game, close loss because of turnover issues . 24-21 L

vs Michigan- Michigan Leads 23-15-1 scUM is overrated, Manti Teo will contain Robinson and we'll beat them by a couple of scores. 31-21 W

vs Miami- Notre Dame Leads 16-7-1 Although they probably won't have a football team by this point...27-10 W

vs Stanford- Notre Dame Leads 17-9-0 Stanford wasn't only good because of Luck. Their lines are dominant... 21-14 L

vs BYU- Notre Dame Leads 4-2-0 Aside from their 10-2 record last year I know nothing about them. 35-17 W

@ Oklahoma- Notre Dame Leads 8-1-0 I don't see us walking into OK and coming out with a win. Our secondary just isn't up for the task. 42-28 L

vs Pitt- Notre Dame Leads 46-20-1 sPitt- 24-10 W

@ BC- Notre Dame Leads 12-9-0 Oh little brother... 38-7 W

vs Wake Forest- Notre Dame Leads 1-0-0 They're not going to walk into ND stadium and come out victorious. 35-17 W

@ USC Notre Dame Leads 43-35-5 Our secondary sucks, they have a good QB...35-31 L


I see us going 8-5 again. Sadly Kelly would be the first coach since Holtz to have 3 straight 8 win seasons.

Predicted 45-17 ended 50-10, not too far off.

I'd say you're accurate on these

but you lose to BYU instead of Stanford.

 

[NDHoosier101]

Well Purdue is not worse than they normally are, final was 20-17. Wasn't pretty but we pulled it out.

They have a great defensive line and a decent O-line. Tommy was clutch as hell to lead us to the game winning fg. Golson managed the game well up until that fumble to allow purdue to tie it. Really hope Eifert isn't hurt badly, we really could have used him down the stretch.

 

[NDHoosier101]

Well thankfully I was wrong. Our defense is really stout and many of the teams on our schedule aren't the juggernauts they were supposed to be preseason. I don't want to say I'm thinking BCS just yet, but everyone on our schedule is beatable.

 

[NDHoosier101]

Well I was off on the final score but we did beat scUm! The defense was tough as nails, it was great to see them talk up Robinson all week only to have him turn the ball over 5 times. Go Irish!

 

[NDHoosier101]

Still undefeated after a bye week!

 

[NDHoosier101]

We absolutely ripped Miami's hearts out in the second half with our run game. It was clear we broke their will and forced them to throw in the towel. A great offensive performance and after the first drive our defense went into lockdown mode, and haven't allowed a TD in 12 quarters. 41-3 Final. Was not expecting to win in such blowout fashion. On to Stanford, go Irish! Also liked the uniforms, which I thought looked pretty horrible before we took the field dressed im 'em.

 

[NDHoosier101]

Wrong again . Defense still has yet to give up a rushing TD, so the offense decided it needed to give one up. The offensive line and Troy nicklos himself got exposed, as Golson was pressured 13 times regardless, a win is a win and I'll take it against a tough Stanford team. 20-13 OT W

 

[NDHoosier101]

First game I attended this season and it was a scary one. We played terribly, dropped balls picked off and a ton of penalties. We pulled it out though, with the running game. Can't wait till we get Golson back, as Tommy was less than impressive that game.

 

[NDHoosier101]

I was wrong, again. The defense played as I expected them to, it was the offense that was very surprising. Golson not only managed the game but moved the ball extremely well, and our play calling had the Sooner's D on their heels the whole night. The whole team executed perfectly even missing our speed back Atkinson.
