Close win vs. rival USC?


Coan will start, but how much does he play? Expect as much of Buchner as he can handle. Likely a close Irish win.

  1. Great commentary as usual,. Nice that all three of you could offer insight. I always love the SC week/game, it's like Christmas week for some of us Irish fans.

  2. I agree with Mike, an early lead and we could blow them out, but my guess is they will come to play. They have talent but my guess is SC is gonna be outmatched playing on the road.

  3. One amazing stat is this is the 5th USC head coach Brian Kelly has faced during his tenure,. kiffin, Orgeron,sarkisian, helton and now Williams

  4. USC is gonna have the talent, but with the cold evening and on the road I think we're gonna be fine. My guess is 31-17

  5. I am begging you - Coan is one syllable, not two ("cone", not "Co-hen").

    Also our odds of going 11-1 are like 10-15% per advanced stats. "We should be favored in every game" does not mean "we should expect to win every game". This is still a 9-3/10-2ish team, and that should be the expectation going forward. 11-1 with this roster would probably be the second-best Kelly coaching job after 2012.

    1. Agree 100%. And I'll start calling him Cone, thanks for the heads up.... 6 games into the season. HA! The kid is money by the way. Tough as nails.

    2. I respectfully disagree on the 11-1 chances being 10-15% this is a very solid talented team, the 2nd half will be better than the first half with all the injuries and youth this team has dealt with,. I actually expect 11-1

    3. There is a huge difference between both teams defensive line play. Irish are on a nother level, this game will get ugly, expect a rout. Irish by 30 or more

  6. Mayer may have a breakout game, I really don't see how they are gonna deal with him. Hopefully he's fully recovered

  7. I got it pretty close (final 31-16) my post had it 31-17
    Nice win for the Irish, we're looking good down the stretch for the potential 11-1 season

  8. I m really surprised we lost one, this team is gonna win out and go bowling with an 11-1 record

  9. Anyone surprised we are just a three point favorite vs NC? They have a horrible defense, in inconsistent but capable offense. We should be about a 7 point favorite

  10. Notre Dame favored by just 3. Not impressed with North Carolina's defense,. They need the game in the 40s to win

  11. Mack Brown is a tier one coach, this again is the type of game where a staff and Brian Kelly are important,. Heard a stat Weis lost a lot later in the year I think lost like 9 of his last ten home games in November
    I like our chances we have the better defense and program

  12. I just don't see this game very close, Irish are finally clicking on both sides of the ball,. 41-21 Irish
