Things that matter:
We have to get +2 on turnovers. Our D must find some ways to get off the field. I want Kaleb Hayes and Robinson and others to get a big play INT and run it back to the house. If we can get just 1 pick six, that will be the game changer.
We must stop the run. Enough said. If we keep it under 150 yards, that should do it, but if the Irish go buck wild and we see a bunch of chunk plays and missed tackles, it's game over.
We need to capitalize on every trip to the red zone. (Do we call it blue zone?) Notre Dame does not have good defense in this area, so this means we have got to have touchdowns, and if we try a field goal, we actually have to make it. I think even 1 empty handed trip inside the 20 will be a problem.
We need the ball to bounce our way for a special teams play. Maybe Nyberg can get a nice return, that would be swell. Maybe muffed punt that we recover, something, anything really.
Going with BYU 34 to ND 31, where we do just enough to pull through. This one will hopefully be tight like Baylor, and less like Oregon. I have learned to never bet against the Cougs. This game is a huge opportunity on a national stage, let's goooooo Cougs!!!!!Statistics: Posted by TulaneVandyRiceCoug — Fri Oct 07, 2022 12:18 pm
