Notre Dame vs Cincinnati Highlights 2021

This game was over by halftime with Cincinnati up 17-0.

Notre Dame fumbled, dropped passes and had a slew of penalties. Why is it that ND is held almost every play an it’s never called?

We had a few warriors out there – Mayer (now injured), Foskey and Drew Pine to name a few. As soon as I saw ND open with a 3 man front I knew they were doomed. I don’t care what Freeman says – ND does not have the players.

ND’s defense is at its best when Foskey is 4 down line as DE with Jordan Bothelo playing LB next to him. Don’t know if Bothelo even got in the game – he’s number 12.

Once again we had a carousel of OL in there with true freshman Joe Alt playing ND’s 4th Left OT. With all these changes why don’t we ever see Rocco Spindler? If he can’t beat these guys out there is something seriously wrong with him or with the coaches.

If he doesn’t start getting playing time he will be the first ND player in the Transfer Portal.

They should hire an outside consultant to look at everything going on with this team and COACHES.

Notre Dame vs Cincinnati Predictions

I’m not buying the hype for this game. Even with a bad OL, Cincinnati has nowhere near the talent that ND has. I doubt they have one player who would be starting for ND.

Apparently Cincinnati has a decent QB in dual threat Desmond Ridder and a 6’7″ TE along with an Alabama transfer RB.
They have a good DE, but Cincinnati only has 4 sacks this year.

On the ND side we don’t know who will be the starting QB, but my money is on Drew Pyne who has been in the program for awhile. He can really zip the ball and one of the few QB’s that I’ve seen who can throw across his body for completions. We should go uptempo this game and run right at a smallish DL.

On defense I would have Jordan Botelho go after QB Ridder the whole game. This kid is a vicious hitter so he has to be reminded about late hits.

Cincinnati will put up a fight for one quarter then get the doors blown off.

Score Prediction: Notre Dame 45 Cincinnati 17
