Notre Dame (football only discussion)

The offense will move the ball with consistency? How? Do they plan to ship it via FedEx?

well done!

Notre Dame fan being delusional. And grass is still green...

Dantonio was able to give us fits last year with an undersized line, at Cincinnati no less.

Can't... stop.... laughing!

If we can move the ball, get some sustained drives, and possibly score some touchdowns (but I'll take it one step at a time), then the defense will keep msu off the scoreboard. if we can't score on offense, you gotta score on defense/special teams.

Notre Dame 24 MSU 0

My predictions for the game:

Clausen: 24/38 238 yards 2 TD
Aldridge: 14 carries 89 yards 1 TD
Allen: 11 Carries 76 yards 0 TD
Carlson: 13 catches 102 yards 1 TD
Grimes: 8 catches 52 yards 0 TD
Kamara: 3 catches 23 yards 1 TD
Kicker: 2 FG's

Notre Dame: 27
MSU: 21

Irish forums are some of the funniest stuff out there!

This idiot should be banned from the internet...actually he should be banned from the oxygen that the rest of us have to use.

What do you mean 1st 2 years? Gardocki has been the really only player the Browns could even brag about since they came back. But I did get tired of hearing how long he went without a blocked punt. every punt at every game they had to state how long he has went without getting a punt blocked.

No matter how bad ND is this year ... they still got a long way to go to be the disappointment that the Browns have been.

hey, the Browns scored as many points in their last game as NoD(orO) has in their last five.

oh, and just to put things into perspective, a little bit of history: Knute Rockne, Lou Holtz, Frank Leahy, Ara Parseghian and Dan Devine each won a national title of some sort in his third season under the Golden Dome. Their combined records in those years: 50-2-1. edit: it appears that i ripped that tidbit off from Steve19, who posted it in the other thread.

I have throughly researched the MSU team and they are much slower on defense than any of the 3 teams that we have played. Don't get me wrong they will bring the heat, (Dantonio is known as a very good defensive coach) but he doesn't have the personel to fit his defensive scheme quite yet. Even though it hasn't been apparent I think our athletes far out match theirs. The offense will have fewer mistakes and will move the ball with consistancy, which will give the D a break. I can't wait until saturday!

Wow. MSU is averaging 437.33 ypg and 33.33 ppg, and ND is gong to shut them out with a defense that is giving up 34 ppg and is ranked 99th in scoring defense?

These idiots truly have no idea what they're in for.

MSU DEFENSE (NCAA RANK FOR D1A)

Rushing Defense 28
Pass Efficiency Defense 19
Total Defense 21
Scoring Defense 19
Turnover Margin 18
Sacks T-1
Tackles For Loss 3

MSU is Top 25 in practically every statistical category, and haven't even had a chance to pad the Sack stats like their statistical peers (Georgia Tech and Penn St) that already played Notre Dame.

Notre Dame's offense made Ron English look like a fucking genius. Mark Dantonio will put Clausen in a body bag by half time.

I honestly think MSU's Jonal Saint-Dic will hit Clausen so hard Clausen could quit football. At the very least he'll be knocked bald like all his brothers.

Good thing he was spiking his hair while he had the opportunity.

When your next touchdown will be your first touchdown, 4 weeks into the season, how do you predict 24-0? Un-fucking-real...

Eight field goals.

Eight field goals.

For that to happen wouldn't MSU need to muff 8 punts?

Well within the realm of possibility if Johnelle Smith were still around.

 

[Saw31]

Yeah, their kicker better have a big leg. Has their offense made it across the fifty yet?
