I'm a huge ND fan and have been for a few decades. I used to live on Angela near Portage and always love my visits back to the campus. So, not a hater.
After reading through the game predictions on the official thread I noticed a lot of predictions for ND to win. Why? Is it just blind fan love, or is there some logical reason?
My biggest concerns; I watched the UL game with my daughter and when the ND team was standing in the tunnel and then coming out, I saw zero energy in the coaches and players. I told my daughter that the team was playing in prime-time, on the road and was yet again not ready to play. It's a good thing the team was playing UL.
The second biggest concern I have is the lack of physicality displayed by both lines during both games. There are other issues with this team and I'm certainly not all gloom and doom, (10 wins), but these two things are reason enough to think ND can't win.
So, my question for anyone predicting an ND win is why?
