Comes down to who wins on defense and QB. Pretty evenly matched....but ND seems to have some edge in talent. How each team performs that day compared to expectations ALWAYS seems to defy predictions though. ND opponents always step up their play against the Irish, but the Irish have more on the line. Playing at Pitt makes this game a tossup if their frosh QB can keep his decision making level high.
One would expect lots of passing and defensive pressure on QB....but we see that go out the window when the lights go on too often.
My focus is always on penalties and turnovers which the Irish took to heart last week....it's all about competency.
Huge game for Irish....Erin Go Bragh!!!
