Is a bye week a huge advantage ?

Who has a bye? Both ND and Ohio State play pansies the week before. Both should be able to rest who they want and use the game the week before as a practice. ND will have played one more game, flown on a couple of planes already so a bit more fatigue but they are at home the week before Ohio State.

I think ND will be an underdog to OSU but with ND having a better QB I think ND will win.

A question is, is a bye week a huge advantage ?

A week to let injuries heal
Another week to study your opponent

Another question is, whose pre 09-23-23 game schedule is more favorable ?

ND travels twice and both trips aren’t local.
OSU travels once and it’s local

I think you are right. OSU is breaking in a new QB. If ND is smart they will play keep away from OSU just move the chains concentrate on getting first downs when OSU brings their safeties up then go over the top. Eventually, the OSU defense will wear down. ND has the horses up front pound OSU. Call it ugly ball or whatever you want as long as there is a win who cares.

Currently massive underdogs. Line is 8pts. Think that’s too many! Go Irish!
