ND Next Opponet Cotton Bowl UT v. OSU Game Thread

Idiotic penalty. If Texas wins, you might be able to point to that foul as one of the reasons OSU lost. OSU had all the momentum and was looking at a potential 10-0 or 14-0 lead.
 
It's early. Anything can happen. Ohio State definitely looks to be the better team, but only 7-0.

I'm comfortable with ND playing either team.
 
Texas needs a spark on offense, and I'd love to see what Manning can do starting in the 3rd quarter. I know a lot of people believe in sticking with the guy that got you here, but they only scored 7 points in the first half. Manning also brings in the run element, which Ewers doesn't have.

Ewers is not playing great, but it's not like he's thrown 3 picks. Hard to justify a change, imo.

I think ND fans should be rooting for Texas.

I think ND has a good enough chance with what seems to be the Day factor on optimal offensive game calling. Or perhaps it's on Chip?

Either way, it seems to me the ND D can play effectively against Ohio State or Texas.

I just think we wouldn't be able to put points on the board against OSU. Oregon couldn't, except in garbage time, and Texas so far could barely muster 7 points.

Ohio State has a better running game than Texas. And, of course, a much better defense.

ND finds a way to grind wins, adjusting to the opponent. Louisville, USC, TAMU, Georgia, and PSU were a varied array. I the last 3 could characterize how ND can beat Ohio State.

Make it low scoring. RL, Price, Love, Faison, Greathouse, Jeter can get points...behind an OL that can play just good enough when it counts.

I see what Ohio State fans mean when they criticize Day.

He deviated from the game plan since that MI loss...gone way too conservative.

Penalties don't help.

Buckeyes rattled, not playing inspired...with all this talent.

I think Texas will win.
 
Well either both of these teams are tangibly better than ND, or they can beat them both. Guess we'll see in 10 days.
