ND playing @ home vs away

[Quest4Twelve]

Let me preface this by saying I know ND football had a pretty extensive home winning streak up until Cincinnati.

Maybe this is anecdotal, but I believe when Notre Dame plays away, they take on us against the world mentality and they just play much better and harder. Not to mention I’d like the white and gold combo much better. 😉

I was also told in this Forum that Purdue having a bye before Notre Dame was a huge concern, and that Jack Swarbick was to blame.

Just anecdotal, but I don’t see this. I think of how we played on the road in big games against Michigan and Miami and Clemson, etc… vs how we played at home in big games against Michigan and USC and Clemson, etc… and home games get the nod. But to your point, we’ve also laid some of our biggest eggs at home…Tulsa and Marshall and NIU and USF for examples.

2023 ND lost to Louisville and Clemson on the road when they were favored. They also gave a great OSU a great game at home and won every other game by a wide margin.

2022 ND lost to Marshall and Stanford at home and then crushed a really good Clemson team at home.

Did ND really lose to NIU at home because they were at home, or did they just get beat by a better team that day? Perhaps A&M beats ND this year if Leonard and Weigman swap teams?

I think we sometimes put too much stock into home vs away.

How did Notre Dame manage to schedule two MAC teams in the same season? That really looks odd...and it won't help the SOS even if Notre Dame runs the table the rest of the season.

Either will two academies though one was not really in their control.

It's a normal thing for most of cfb

No, they've had their share of road losses.

Why didn’t you mention Louisville and Clemson in 2023, or Ohio St. and USC in 2022?

Because the OP seemed to be referring to the previous HC and his home winning streak up until the loss to Cincinnati, so I wanted to point out there were road losses during that time as well. To your point, the new HC has had his share of losses at home and on the road.

Oh. Fair enough.
