I expect 10-2. Heading into Columbus 10-1. I think they will get better as we see the season progress. They SHOULD beat Penn State, they SHOULD beat MSU. I think they are good enough to beat Wisconsin AT HOME, but if it was on the road it would be a different story (we all know how that goes.
But at the same time, I can see them going 6-6 with losses to Northwestern, Penn State, MSU, Wisconsin, and Ohio State.
We backed off on the kid a looonnggg time ago. Brohm is a great recruiter and he has a selling point with Purdue, that program is definitely on the ups.
I don't want to get anyone's hopes up but if I was a betting man I'm leaning towards him returning for 1 more year. Idk.. just my gut telling me something.
After their "Class of the Decade" I really don't give a fuck who they land in recruiting..
Meanwhile we have a guy who can actually evaluate and develop top-end talent. 2017, 18 & 19 classes are/will be very very skilled. Watch out!
Moe was supposed to stay. Most would say the same about Charles.. But instead, last second he decides a change of plans. Ibi Watson transferred because he was pretty sure C Mat would be back.. Beilein wanted to take in a grad transfer but now the cupboard is empty.. If Matthews does decide to stay in the draft, some people got screwed over and the 2018 team will be mediocre, Matthews would have been the best on the 2018 roster.
This past year we were stuck asking ourselves "I wonder how much better this team would have been with DJ" same routine with Matthews in 2018-19..
Charles Matthews is apparently 99% gone.. WTF! When was the last time a guy actually stayed.. This upcoming year could have been amazing.. He was going to be the center piece of that team.. Having to deal with this every year and most likely seeing most of the juniors leave early for the 2019 NFL Draft just sucks man... And I have nothing against guys chasing their dreams but this is why we can't and don't win shit!
LOL this isn't going to happen even though I would love for it to happen. Home field advantage would no longer be ND's. I guarantee there would be more M fans in Chicago. Our schedule would become a tad bit easier!
I agree with you. It's all about their stupid camps and what not.. I was actually reading into some of the most dominant units in CFB this upcoming season and one the units that came up was Georgia DB's. I kid you not all of those guys were very low to mid 3 stars in HS. Stars do matter but it all comes down to the film. Most times you'll be able to just watch the film and instantly realize how good a player is, ala Khaleke Hudson, Jonathan Taylor, etc...
RB is a NEED in this class.. Pulling Emery from LSU Country would be huge! If we have a championship season I don't see why we shouldn't be in the race at the end.
Well finishing 5th would be certainly be a dick punch.. That would mean rolling into Columbus 11-0 only to lose a heart breaker. I don't know if my heart can handle any more of that..
The Game should ALWAYS be on ABC at noon. I honestly don't mind the MSU game being on Fox at least we'll get to see Wisky and PSU on ESPN/ABC. ESPN is miles ahead of FOX in terms of production and build up.. But too bad they are busy drooling over Nick Saban and the SEC..
Kids like 5*s Zach Harrison, Dax Hill, Quav Coach & 4*s Xavier Truss, Kyle Ford, and Brandon Smith will start flocking to A2..
A lot can change from now and November, we have the talent to win 11+ games this year. If that is the case, I expect this class to be just as good as 16 & 17.
We haven't beaten a Top 15 team on the road since... I don't even remember! So there is no reason for you guys to be flaunting about how this should be an "easy" victory. South Bend is a very hard place to play especially when it's a rivalry like this. I expect this to be one of the hardest games of the season. A win would begin the hype train I suppose.. M hasn't beaten a team worth a damn on the road in a long, long time.
Braska will be sneaky good this year. Notre Dame Spring Game has started as well. Wimbush is a guy that could give us problems...
Switched the channel from BTN to NBC and you could just see right off the bat how much more physical and athletic of a team Notre Dame is.. ND will have a physical D.
Why is this even a question for us? NO.. Enough with the transfer QBs! Shea at least makes sense, grew up in Toledo, had dreams of playing in the Big House.. 3 transfer QBs in Harbaugh's first 3 years would be a clown show..
What a soft PC culture we live in.. This is Football damnit!! If your players are going to get their "feelings hurt" by Zordich making those comments then we don't want them...

What a relief!! Go Blue!!
Well hopefully he changes his mind if/when we beat them both in the Big House this Fall!
:)
Why isn't the staff prioritizing Lance Dixon? .. He is a perfect fit and replacement for Hudson at Viper. Might I add he is in our own damn backyard..
Need to start winning big on the field...
