Louisville is a really good with a tough schedule. But they are ranked higher than Irish and I agree with Wigglesby--Irish will be ready and aggressive. 29-17 Irish with Leonard throwing two 50 yard plus passes but still only throwing for 190 yards. Also a defensive TD
 
Come on yall. Don’t be shy now.

ND 21
Louisville 17

Tough to predict. Louisville seems like they have a good defense. How will the ND OL hold up? Louisville got some huge plays against Georgia Tech so I’m going to hope this won’t happen against ND and that will be the difference. UL still did a good job of playing defense despite Haynes King having a good day. The UL defense very well might stifle the ND offense but ND still put up 20 against A&M.

It’s refreshing to see some under center with two backs that Louisville utilizes.

Starting at the top of this thread my thought was 20-17 and I see you pretty close. Unless RL gets rid of his yips, this will be a low scoring game. The D will have moments of letting UL drive down the field early in the game. RL will start slow but will use his legs to move the O. Mitch Jeter with the field goal with under 2 minutes and the D will need to hold on.

*EDIT: This is UL's first road game.

I think the field goal unit and punt team need to come up with points and field position. One field goal block against NIU contributed to the loss and then the botched hold/snap against Miami cost them 3 points.

3 for 3 against A&M suggests they can do it.
 
Notre Dame has been really good or really bad on alternate weeks. We are due to be really good this weekend, but I'm keenly disappointed in Riley Leonard in particular and the offense in general. I see Louisville squeaking out a 20-17 win, with the chance that they add a score if ND has a bonehead turnover late in the game.

I, of course, hope I'm totally wrong, and it's actually ND 42-10 with our second string offense finishing out the game, but I just don't have the confidence that this team is anywhere near as good as I hoped it would be this season.
 
I'm down on Leonard and the offense, but I'm an ND fan, and always want them to win.

ND - 31
L'ville - 23

Go Irish! ☘️
nice call off by 1 point .. hopefully you put money down on this one lol
