WSU Preview – Where’s Me Pot O’ Gold?

The Washington State game might be "just what the doctor ordered" for the Fighting Irish as they head into the home stretch of the season. ESPN’s Accuscore Projections are giving WSU a 3% chance of beating Notre Dame. One of my favorite websites, www.cfbtn.com (College Football by the Numbers), gives Notre Dame a 96% chance of winning the Game. Las Vegas favors ND by 28 points. In other words, logic says ND will win this game... easily. A blowout victory could provide the confidence boost needed to give the team some extra momentum heading into the final four games of the season. 

Remember the last time the Fighting Irish flew across the country (halfway across the world) to play a football game? Hawaii is still smoldering after Notre Dame torched that team. I expect similar results this Saturday. 
The Cougars don’t have much to brag about this year. They have won just 1 game, are ranked 112th in total offense, are the 2nd-to-worst defense statistically in the country. This game might get ugly, and it should. The Fighting Irish haven’t flexed their muscles in a complete game since the season opening slaughter against Nevada .

My “pot o’ gold” for this week is simple: play a disciplined game and win big. Notre Dame needs to start impressing voters. In college football, you impress voters by running up the score in an unsportsman-like fashion.

My prediction: The Fighting Irish absorb that Texas sun quickly and come out hot. The second half is owned by Dayne Crist and company and we close out the game with a 41-14 victory.

We might see alot of this Saturday:




Go Irish! Beat Cougars!
