Notre Dame vs Florida State Predictions

Irish Editor November 9, 2018 2018 Games, Predictions Tagged Brandon Wimbush, Ian Book, Notre Dame vs Florida State

Without Ian Book ND loses basically half its offense. With Wimbush ND was averaging about 24 points. It will be Senior Day and it looks like ND will wear green Jerseys. With bad and cold weather this could all add up to disaster. Look, Florida State is lousy this year 4-5 but they are loaded,

Notre Dame 31 Northwestern 21 – Recap and Highlights

Irish Editor November 4, 2018 2018 Games Tagged Ian Book, Notre Dame vs Northwestern

Notre Dame sleepwalked through the first half which ended 7-7. I’m becoming more disenchanted with the play calling as well as the OL’s inability to run block. It’s incredible when you have a runner like Williams. He only went 19/56 – gotta fix that. Book matched that rushing yardage. QB Ian Book took over the

Notre Dame vs Northwestern Predictions – 7:15 PM EST ESPN

Irish Editor November 1, 2018 2018 Games, Predictions Tagged Notre Dame vs Northwestern

It doesn’t matter what should on paper be a ND blowout. NW coach Fitzgerald has a deep seeded hatred for ND, not to mention the Chicago recruiting yearly battle. NW is not doing bad this year sitting at 5-3. They’ve beaten Purdue, MSU, Nebraska and last week Wisconsin. They only lost to Michigan by a

Notre Dame came out fast in the first half, controlled the ball and stopped Navy from going anywhere leading to a 27-0 first half score. ND coasted in the 2nd half allowing Navy to score its 22 points – just goes to show you can’t relax against Navy at anytime. Ian Book had another excellent

Notre Dame vs Navy Predictions – San Diego 8PM EST CBS

Irish Editor October 26, 2018 2018 Games, Predictions Tagged Notr Dame vs Navy

Navy is 2-5 so it’s not the good Navy teams we’ve seen in the past. The problem with Navy is cut blocks which have always resulted in ND injuries. ND defense has to get them off the field. Navy’s game is to eat the clock. As far as cut blocks – that can go both

Notre Dame 19 Pitt 14 – Recap and Highlights

Irish Editor October 14, 2018 2018 Games Tagged Ian Book, Isaiah Rutherford, Notre Dame vs Pitt

Defense again comes up big and wins this game while Special Teams were anything but. Pitt’s defense devised by HC Pat Narduzzi totally confused the ND offense especially Book. He was harassed and sacked all game until the final drive that won the game. The ND running game was non existent and that was basically

Notre Dame vs Pitt Predictions

Irish Editor October 12, 2018 2018 Games, Predictions Tagged Notre Dame vs Pitt

Pitt has been a thorn in ND’s side for like 50 years, no matter how bad they are they play out of their minds against ND. This is a bad 3-3 team destroyed by Penn State and UCF. They did however knock off a pretty good Syracuse team last week 44-37. They basically ran the

Notre Dame 45 Virginia Tech 23 – Highlights and Recap

Irish Editor October 8, 2018 2018 Games Tagged Dexter Williams, Ian Book, Notre Dame vs Virginia Tech

After a few fits and starts ND blew the doors off VT’s stadium led by the explosive ND RB Dexter Williams. Williams had a 97 yard TD run totaled 178 yards with 3 TD’s. Ian Book was brilliant at times and erratic at times, but still finished 25/35 271 yards and 2 TD’s and 1
