Lets Go Irish. Im so fired up. I wanted this match up. Only other match up I wanted was FSU because of Golson. I know this is tough match up and we want a win but To be in a Big bowl game against a top team is great. I hate OSU and I think we have a good shot. We have a shot to Finish in the Top 5 going into next year. A win can help in recruiting. We need a statement game this year and this can be that game.

I have Faith. Im not scared of OSU, I'm up for the challenge. Cant wait for this game. Lets do what we did last year against LSU. No one gave us a chance last year. Kelly is usually good in bowl games. Bring on Meyer and OSU.

I hope so. I know a win is big to finish 11-2 and the chances got a little tougher with this match up but I feel a BIG time win is more important for this team then beating a Houston, UNC, FSU, or Iowa team. This would be a statement win.

Well I can say that I believe Notre Dame's offense is better than Michigan's so they should at least score 1 TD. I also think Notre Dame has more individual talent on defense than Notre Dame but Michigan has played better team defense all season except for their last game :lou:.

Love the match up but like others kick off time sucks. bad job by college football. Oh well. I will still enjoy.

Prediction: ND wins 34 OSU 30. ND gets 4-5 starters back and overall I just feel we are the better team. Should be a great match up. Lets Go Irish.

I don't know if they are a much better team but they have played better most of the season for whatever that is worth.

Im not that impressed with OSU. We need to contain the QB's and try and contain the RB and ND should be ok. I know harder to do it then saying it. Meyer having a month is greater then Kelly having a month but I think we beat them in talent and I hope that takes over.

I'm not sure I buy this ND has better talent. tOSU returned almost all of last year's Championship team, and was considered the front runner to repeat by a wide margin.

Obviously, that talent didn't gel until UoM, which is why they're plying ND, but it seems like a tough argument to say they aren't loaded with talent.

If tOSU comes in motivated like I think they will, it's going to be a tough day for those cereal salesmen.

not saying OSU isnt loaded with talent. I think both teams are playoff type teams but both teams slipped up. I just feel that ND was loaded this year while missing 7 starters this year and they now get 5 of them back will help.
