Last home game for the Irish and all the scrutiny and public backlash directed at beleaguered head coach Weis is deplorable. While I am not personally a big fan of the Irish, I am a fan of teams who make me money, and last week I cashed them in as a dog at Pitt. The entire world, every publication and every TV show you watch has U Conn winning this outright in the land of Touchdown Jesus this Saturday. I do not buy it one bit. With all the action on U Conn, why not one line move off of 6 points as of Friday yet? Because Vegas oddsmakers are BEGGING you to take U Conn, I say play the contrarian on this play. Do not be fooled, Notre Dame is vastly superior in talent in this game.

The Irish have the best offense on the field at home, and the best playmakers by far. Notre Dame is 9th in the USA in total yards on offense. U Conn has done nothing but lose the past 3 weeks and give up huge plays. They may be the most over respected programs in division I football. U Conn’s pass defense is deplorable and they are giving up over 28 points on the road this season. Yes they have had a week off to get ready, but have NO illusions, Notre Dames players love their coach and will rise to the occasion on senior day in Sotuhbend and get a big win for him. With Stanford on deck for a road trip, this is an absolute MUST WIN for the Irish. Expect QB Clausen to have a HUGE day and for Notre Dame to pull out all the stops against a defense built to stop no one.
