Another ND chat site says we lose to Syracuse:
“The defense appears to be worn down a bit, as evidenced by recent stretches of poor tackling against the run and fewer quarterback pressures. Offensively and on special teams, the Irish continue to commit irksome errors that resulted in turnovers or missed scoring opportunities. The Orange are capable of capitalizing on these mistakes where lesser opponents have failed. Furthermore, if Book is unable to finish what he starts on Saturday, the risk of passes falling into the wrong hands increases if Brandon Wimbush is throwing them. Finally, Syracuse enters the game much fresher due to its lighter schedule and easier travel demands. It’s difficult for a team to have an unbeaten regular season under the best of circumstances, and this week’s trip across the Hudson and Harlem Rivers may be a bridge too far. SYRACUSE 33 NOTRE DAME 31”
Whereas the defense in the 2nd half against Navy did not play well, I thought it played well against both Northwestern and FSU (except for the 3rd quarter). EVERYONE in week 12 of the season is a bit worn down INCLUDING Syracuse. His assumption also is that Book is really hurt and cannot perform up to spec.... maybe he has inside info...... I do not remember the that Mods here have said that..... YES Syracuse has capitalized on other teams’ turnovers.... but ND has not turned the ball over 4, 5, and 6 times in any game this year.... why would anyone assume that for this game?
Our own family is picking against us.....
