ND vs ASU Pre Game Thread:

Big game for ND. This is the game where ND shows the world they are a legit team. This is a big game. ND just got hit with a big injury. Time for Big time Frosh Morgan to take over and make some noise.

Lets Go Irish Cant wait for this game

ASU is nothing special but ND needs to be something special to win.

If we beat ASU, I will think it is kind of a big deal (if they don't fade away down the stretch). ASU has beat a currently ranked opponent which is something ND cannot claim. I will add that ASU's one loss was an embarrassment. ASU has us in the "who you beat" department, but ND has ASU in the "how you lost" department. We have to be "special" in that we play the type of game we are capable of playing. ND seems to play to their level of competition, so I am hoping they bring it Saturday.

I agree ASU is a good team. THis is a nice win. This win gives us a better win over TCU, Kansas st and MSU and our Loss is better then both. Also the good news is TCU and Kansas St play and MSU plays OSU. Plus Bama plays LSU and Oregon plays Utah.


A win this week and we might be in good shape by the end of Sat.

#9 ASU
#10 Notre Dame

This is a huge game. This is our chance to get a quality road win. And with all the match-ups this week, we could make up some big ground.

If we win this game, I think we move to #7.

if we win and ohio state wins, any chance ohio state passes us? personally, I think not

I can't see Ohio State jumping Notre Dame with a win against Michigan State if Notre Dame beat ASU. That win would be Ohio State's only impressive win, and vice versus for Notre Dame (I am basing this off how the committee is ranking Notre Dame), those wins are pretty much a push and Notre Dame are currently ranked higher.
