Notre Dame Vs Nevada Predictions

Nevada coach Brian Polian is best remembered when he was an assistant on Charlie Weis’s staff by the numerous flights to Hawaii recruiting Manti Teo.

He also achieved a degree of fame when a miked up Weis told him to get the F off the field. As a special teams coach – not too special.

Anyhow, Nevada from the Mountain West Conference visits ND to get a paid beat down and that they will get in a game that should be over by half time, BUT ND has a bad habit of playing down to their opponents level every year and sometimes several times in the same season.

I think Kelly has already been on this teams case and I bet he has been seething ever since Sunday night.

He has named Kizer his QB and at a presser called out several players by name. That he went after LT McGlinchy and LG Nelson is telling for they both way under performed, but Kelly went further praising the right side of the OL.

He hit on Tranquill’s Safety play as well as several others. I am equally sure every coach got the talk. Also – Kelly, I believe really thought he could win the National Championship this year and now it will never happen for him.

Now Nevada. They beat Cal Poly in OT 30-27 in their opener. QB Tyler Stewart was 17/23 189 yds.

Stewart can both run and throw will be supplemented by a very fast RB James Butler. There is just no way they can compete with ND talent and it’s quite possible ND subs play most of 2nd half.

So ND comes out lethargic and Kelly goes all purple face on them, they finally right the ship and score 56 points.
