I'm surprised you think we have a good enough chance to beat Notre Dame to call it a BIG game. They have experienced, quality QBs, a good pass blocking OL and we know they will score some points. On the other side, their strength will be stopping the run. That leaves us with a freshman QB testing a depleted ND secondary. We have a fighting chance if Buchele plays like as seasoned vet but more like a 25% chance of winning IMO.
Unless the sops and frosh are future national champ material, unfortunately we're still a 7-8 regular season win team IMO.
