“Go to the bank!” Today’s top pick of the day just released

What’s Going To Happen

You can forgive Notre Dame for taking a bit of a breather after facing Georgia and Virginia, and with USC and Michigan coming up next. Is there any possible chance at a letdown in a massive sandwich game?

Nope.

The Irish are going for style points now. They might not be thinking like this quite yet, but to have any real shot at being considered in the College Football Playoff chase, they can’t have a close-call blip against a team as bad as Bowling Green.

It’s been a brutally rough run to start the Scot Loeffler era. How do you know things aren’t going well? You lost to Kent State by 42.

The Falcons have dropped their last three games by a combined score of 149 to 27, and now it’s Notre Dame’s turn to have some fun.

The BGSU offense doesn’t go anywhere, but it doesn’t go anywhere in a hurry. There’s no tempo or pace because it’s not effective enough. The line doesn’t give up a slew of sacks, and the defensive front sets its hair on fire to get behind the line, but everyone and everyone is moving the chains at will on the D.

The Irish will balance things out a bit, get Ian Book going early just to get his reps in, and then take a massive lead into the locker room. The Irish defense won’t destroy the backfield like it did against Virginia in last week’s second half, but it’ll hold firm.
