Notre Dame vs Boston College Predictions

Don’t let yourselves get conned – that was not a Chris Long Offense run against Georgia. That was all Kelly.

Just like Sanford, Long is on a tight leash. I’m almost positive Kelly told Long we’ll run MY offense and all Game Plans have to be Ok’d by me. So nothing has changed.

Also, ask yourself just how many QB’s has Kelly ruined in his 8 years at ND? Tommy Rees is the only QB to have any success and he was a drop back passer with a lot of limitations.

Nobody on the OL apparently can call the set ups so that’s Wimbush’s additional problem. Since Kelly has been at ND the OL has not been in sync with the play calling.

Every year we are told the OL is really special and that the strength coach has got them super strong – except when you run into a team like Georgia. At one point in the Georgia game all 5 on the ND OL were stood up and pushed back.

Receiver Finke is supposed to start this week and hopefully we will see a lot of CJ Sanders or anybody else who can get open. Wimbush also has to stop aiming the ball and stop staring down EQ.

As far as BC is concerned they are just like Temple except they really, really hate ND and that will keep them in the game. They really only have one player – DE Harald Landry 6’3″ 250 lbs who should eat both OT’s alive.

Take the points in this game.
