Wolfpack Presents Problems...

So I agree and I do not agree with Martinez (as usual). I think this is going to be an even tighter game, and I see us coming from behind.

This is a team that is led by a very good dual threat quarterback in C. Karpernick. The kid rushed 161 times for over 1,200 yards. That's more than any Irish running back has done in two years, hell he averaged 7.0 yards a carry. And if that is not scary enough he also had over 2,800 yards passing. He was almost a 20/20 quarterback, I think that has only been a handful of times. I think this QB is for real and we have to contain him every snap.





Oh I am not done there. The Wolf Pack's running back is just as scary. Via Taua is on the Doak Walker watch list and for good reason. He rushed for 1500 yards last year and scored 15 touchdowns. This is what makes this team tough to defend against.



Their defense returns a lot of people as well. I do not care what they were ranked last year. That was last year. I can not go and say anything about how they are still going to be bad when I am preaching how Notre Dame will be good this year after last years performances. I am a firm believer that the more people you return, the better your team is going to be.

We are going to need a great game from our D-Line. I think the linebackers are going to be really busy making reads against the Nevada playmakers, and our secondary CANNOT cheat up. I think if the D-Line can blow plays up it will give our linebackers a chance to make some plays. I think Harrison Smith will be all over the field, but I would rather not have him lead the team in tackles. I want our ends to be monsters. I am curious to see Kapron Lewis-Moore, remember that name for the game.

We are going to have to score as well.....Jimmy and the Gang should be able to take care of that. I am looking for a HUGE game from Kyle "Santa's Little Helper" Rudolph! Nevada is going to be all over Tate and Floyd, that should leave Kyle in the open. Jimmy will have 250 passing. Armando will have a decent day, nothing to special. I think he will get 190 yards and 2 touchdowns.

Final Score ND 49 Wolf Pack 31

Cheers!
