Comments on: Irish Host Western Michigan https://dev.ndnation.com/irish-host-western-michigan/ The Independent Voice of Notre Dame Athletics Fri, 15 Oct 2010 22:42:15 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: erock https://dev.ndnation.com/irish-host-western-michigan/#comment-2691 Fri, 15 Oct 2010 22:42:15 +0000 https://dev.ndnation.com/?p=1111#comment-2691 I hope that Kelly will have the team more mentally prepared then Wies did when we played Syracuse further the team can not be looking forward to the Navy Game which I believe is next. But I think this is where we will see key differances between Wies and Kelly in that Kelly will have this team ready to play and mentally prepared. If they make this go to the 4th it will speak volumes about the work left to do but I think ND will be able to pull away and the D will hold its own! GO IRISH!

Notre Dame has made a career over the last decade of making close games with teams that they should blow out. All I can think about is the Syracuse game a couple years ago. I froze my bag off at that game and was rewarded with a loss to a team that should have had difficulty with my son’s Pop Warner team. Armando being a game time decision worries me. Hopefully I’m being overly pessimistic and tomorrow at this time Irish eyes will be smiling. Go Irish!

On paper, we are bigger, stronger and quicker. But, that doesn’t mean anything. Western Michigan plays football, too. We have some key injuries — and they can do some damage.

So, what I would like is for the crowd to go nuts — bananas, crazy, whatever — each time we score — and on every WMU third down and every time we hold them. That would be nice.

But we’re the last team in the country that should feel over-confident going into this game. Go out, block, run the football, throw the football, tackle have fun — and come out of this game with a W. Let’s Go Irish.

I’m hoping he won’t have to do a lot of work on Saturday.

I was under the assumption that this would be a breather week, but after some of the thoughts of some analysts that i actually respect, i am a little worried that this game might be closer than i initially expected.
