North Carolina State vs Notre Dame predictions.

Notre Dame 51 to 17 over North Carolina State. The Irish are the best team in the Nation and will prove it the next seven games.
I can see that score. I will go with a slightly more conservative 46-23
 
36-27 ND.

NCST will not turn the ball over like previous teams have done. I think the ACC comes down to them or VTech in the end. This is the toughest game on our schedule other than UGA IMO.
 
ND - 31
NCSU - 17

Tied going into the 4th, DT gets a pick six. ND goes on a game ending 8 minute drive with BW going in for the score.
 
Notre Dame has been rolling and all of us fans at home are eager to see payback for last year's embarrassment. But if NCST is as good as we are told, it should be a close game decided in the fourth quarter.

27-21 ND
 
Wimbush goes down early with an ankle injury due to a sloppy field. Then he comes back in the 4th quarter. Drives them down the field and brings it to 27-24. State goes three and out. Wimbush then throws a pick six. 34-24 State.

It won't be a sloppy field, but it will be an artificial one.
 
If anyone is concerned that ND isn't taken this seriously even though NC State is ranked and getting fellated by every prognosticator in the country, remember...

NC State beat ND last year.

The ND players are taking this deadly serious.

And that's bad news for NC State.
 
I don't think ND will be as dominant as they were against SC. NC state has a much better defense. It's going to be close most of the game. If Winbush can once again hit some throws early, that will cause the Wolfpack to back off the line of scrimmage. That should help the running game. By the 4th quarter ND offense takes control after a tough battle.

ND 27. NC st. 17
 
I said ND, 37-27 for last week's game.

I'm thinking about the same 34-24 for this one (and hoping I underplayed it again!). Wimbush passes for over 200 yards. Claypool/Stepherson gets a tds.
 
Come out slow because of big win last week, finish strong with a 31 - 14 win.
