I have to agree with the analysis, but just hope Vannie is wrong. I think this is a game which will define the season and maybe VanGorder’s fate. If the defense with loads of returning talent can’t stop GT then I put it on coaching. I seem to remember a year or two ago Western Kentucky or someone like them crushing Navy. Western Kentucky?!?

If the triple option is so wonderful every team would run it. No excuses. Crush GT!!

I’ll be extremely disappointed if GT win by 14. I agree this is a tough game and we have had a lot of injuries, but it had better be closer than that.

Keep in mind Vegas spreads are determined by who is betting on whom, not what actually, intelligent football analyst might think. I can easily see GT winning by 14 before I see the Irish win by 14. I think, however, it will be closer but still a GT victory. I have not seen any evidence the ND defense can hold GT to less than 35 points and I don’t see Kizer and the O doing that.

How is it that the cut block is illegal in other games but it’s legal when ND plays triple option teams?

Agree with your analysis of this game. I pray for an Irish miracle but my realistic view is that we are going to get drilled. We can’t win a shoot out and Kizer, through no fault of his own, is not ready for prime time.

Well they have had an eye on facing this team and this scheme since the offseason so I truly expect an inspired smart defensive plan.The way I’ve always understood facing the option was to attack it and hit all of the key people involved in the run option. The QB must get popped all day. Its the only time you can basically hit the QB no matter what on every chance you get. This could prove beneficial when he is trying to throw late in the game and he has taken a beating. Kizer needs to make big conversions on 3rd down and Kelly needs to push the envelope with 4th and short and goal line calls. Need alot of points. Irish 40-37
