Officially Official: VTech vs. ND prediction thread

[MTIrish98]

This is a day early because I won't be near a computer tomorrow.

ND is coming off one of its better performances of the year, but now they've spent 2+ weeks working on the option and have to switch back to defending a more conventional spread attack.

VT is coming off one of a huge disappointment -- losing to an option attack. I suspect they may have been looking ahead a week on the schedule. Ga. Tech was a classic trap game before the "super bowl" of playing ND. (Playing at ND is everyone's super bowl, right?!?)

ND can win if they play nearly flawless football and control the line of scrimmage on O to keep the ball out of the hands of the Hokie offense. VT has bounced back strong after each of their losses this year though.

VTech -- 37
ND -- 34

I hope I'm wrong...

My mental health plan requires spending time in the mountains

To quote a country music song "its good for the soul when there's not a soul in sight."

 

[perseverare]

I think I might follow suit on that notion! I just acquired an FJ Cruiser for purposes of some 'quiet time'!

When has ND EVER played motivated on Senior day? It is usually the biggest snooze fest of the year for some reason.

Remember Louisville, Uconn, Syracuse.......?

VT is an incredibly unpredicatable team; I am going with the theory they confuse Sat with their 'bye' week!

ND 47 VT 23 as ND moves to 11-0 on the season! and No.2 in the polls!

(that's right!!!!)

I have no idea on this one. VA Tech has been Jeckyl and Hyde, we've been more Hyde than Jeckyl, but can score some points.

ND 28
VA Tech 27

 

[TXNDFan88]

VA Tech is not a great road team, but ND does not usually come to play on senior day. Need to come out as focused as they were last week. Do we get the Va Tech team that scored 17 on Syracuse or the one that scored 37 on Miami?

47 points against bud foster defense, that literally never happens. i think nd will win like 20-17 or something.

A lot of our fans are capable of being realists.

A week early.

VT has issues too! very erratic.

They have whole new system so vt is up and down, but generally they have been putting up tons of yards. The only real reason they have lost a few times is turnovers. They got killed in turnovers a few times this year. But I think they have out gained almost every opponent this year. Fuente is a really good offensive mind. He took a terrible Memphis up and made them pretty competitive. And Bud Foster is a great dc. If nd can cause some fumbles and int's they have a great chance to beat them. Check out their yardage gained in each game. Fairly impressive.

It is almost as if ND has a history of losing games it should win -- and the readers of this forum have noticed!
