ND vs FSU Predictions

This is a big opening game in a sold out Stadium so the noise level will be very high, The weather looks OK, but it seems when we go South it usually rains which will be bad for ND.

Florida State has been mediocre for the last several seasons, but they come in with an excellent coach Mike Norvell from Memphis, 2 good QB’s and a slew of grad transfers.

Look, FSU always has good players so it will be a tough game for ND, but I look for RB’s Williams and Tyree to be explosive with some long runs and TE Michael Mayer to score 2 TD’s and Kevin Austin to score his first TD.

Defense will make life miserable for FSU.

But if ND starts game at 3 and out and looks sluggish this will be tough going. We can’t allow FSU to hang around and gain confidence or this will be a 4th quarter game that ND doesn’t want.

Score Prediction: Notre Dame 41 FSU 26.

Here’s Kellys presser of 8/30:

ND Scores TD vs FSU
ND Scores TD vs FSU

Well, we flat out gave them 10 points on fumbles – otherwise we ran all over them. Kyren Williams led the way with 184 yds on 18 carries and 2 TD’s. He was assisted by Chris Tyree who went for 103 yds on 11 carries including a big a 45 yd td run.

Ian Book was better going 16/23 201 yds and 2 td’s. Javon McKinley had 5 catches for 107 yds. All of this occurred due to outstanding OL play. It’s the best they have played so far and the offense rolled for 353 yards.

On the other hand, the defense had a bad night giving up 405 yards to a team that has a bad OL. They better fix that fast.

ND vs FSU Predictions

This would have been much easier without all the covid issues to deal with. We really don’t know who will be playing yet. For instance, Jack Kiser LB, I had him penned in to start after the eye opening game we last played, but now he’s sick.

I also would promote DE Isaiah Foskey to a starter after the way he played whenever he’s put in. I really want to see ND’s 2nd QB get some playing time. We’ve seen the 3rd guy so let’s see what we have behind Ian Book.

Now Florida State is not very good and they haven’t been for several years. They have 3 big good DL but that’s about it. Their OL is awful. Get a good lead on these guys and they will quit.

They finally came up with a QB who did pretty good against a division 12 school after losing to Georgia Tech and a blowout laid on them by Miami.

If Ian Book can somehow throw long we can blow these guys away.

They have a good coach now in Mike Norvell and they will get better, but they cannot compare to the Florida State teams we’ve seen in the past.

If ND gets off to a fast start we will win big.

Score Prediction: Notre Dame 37 Florida State 13.

ND vs FSU Highlights
ND vs FSU Highlights

Green Jerseys and 27 degrees trampled Florida State. In a game that was over by the half 32-6, FSU just literally froze both mentally and physically.

Notre Dame ran 50 times for 365 yards helped by Tommy Kraemer starting at RG. Once again Dexter Williams put on a show. He accounted for 202 yards and 2 TD’s – including runs of 58 and 32 yards.

Wimbush replaced an injured Book for this game went 12/26 130 yards and 2 TD’s He also threw back to back interceptions and ND just ran every down after that.

The run attack for ND went right after the strength of FSU their DL. I was surprised that FSU is that bad a team. They have the playmakers and I believe their coach is gone if they don’t end up 6-6. Maybe even if they do.

Much harder task awaits ND vs Syracuse.

Without Ian Book ND loses basically half its offense. With Wimbush ND was averaging about 24 points. It will be Senior Day and it looks like ND will wear green Jerseys. With bad and cold weather this could all add up to disaster.

Look, Florida State is lousy this year 4-5 but they are loaded, as usual, with 4-5 Star players. You can run against their DL, but make no mistake these guys are big dudes.

What compounds ND rush game is their interior line – center and both guards are under performing. Florida State’s problem is not the players, but the coaching staff – how the hell can they be 4-5?

FSU just quit the last 2 weeks losing to Clemson 59-10 followed by a thumping by NC Stare 47-28. So ND would have also blown them out with a healthy Ian Book. Now we don’t know what we get with Wimbush – he can be awful in the passing game.

This will be closer than expected, but ND edges out the win.
