Notre Dame vs New Mexico Predictions – 2:30 PM ET NBC

New Mexico arrives at ND without its HC Bob Davie who is ill. They also lost their QB and first string NG and Captain. They’re the lucky ones for the remainder are going to get pulverized.

This is not a very good team and went 3-9 in the last 2 seasons. Davie would be gone but NM can’t afford the buyout.

With sunny weather predicted and temps in the low 70’s, ND should roll them up by halftime.

This is an opportunity for QB Ian Book to get the kinks out in the passing game. I wouldn’t let him run at all – stay in the pocket and go downfield a lot.

If we don’t see #2 QB Phil Jurkovec by mid 3rd quarter and a lot of other subs, ND is in for a long season.
