Notre Dame At NC State Predictions

With all of the nail biting about this hurricane, the obvious solution to me is to play at Notre Dame. This situation is just too damn scary to put these kids in jeopardy. My guess is that they don’t play this game, which would be the best outcome for ND.

This game, if played, will mark the start of the slide toward oblivion for this team. NC State is 3-1 with their latest game a 33-16 win over Wake Forest.

They have a steady accurate QB in Ryan Finley who goes about 255 yds per game. They also have a very good RB in Matthew Dayes (avg. 109 yds per game) and a very good receiver in Samuels, who does a little bit of everything. Randy Moss’s kid is coming along as a receiver. So they have players.

On Defense, their strength is the front four plus very good LB’s. Weakness is the secondary.

So NC State will score and if ND is to win, Kizer has to put up monster numbers – he can’t go cold. My biggest problem is the ND OL. I think NC State’s DL completely dominates them and batters and harasses Kizer. The running game will go nowhere. I think NC State will expose this ND team on both sides of the ball.
