In2ition-- Good luck with your big play. Even though Notre Dame is coming off of a bye, I really like this play. In the off week a current ND player liked a "les miles to notre dame" tweet. A big time recruit de-committed from Notre Dame, and then committed to Michigan over the weekend. When asked why he switched he made it clear that Brian Kelly was why he chose to leave. Dude said every player at ND has to make an appointment just to see or speak to Kelly. Kelly just got the dreaded vote of confidence from the Notre Dame AD, and this whole situation is starting to feel like Kelly has lost the team. The players body language is very telling. A lot of finger pointing and blame assigning going on right now is not good.
Miami is coming off 3 straight losses, but in 2 of those games, Miami was a play or two at most away from winning both of them. Defensively Notre Dame is bad, and this Miami team has enough balance offensively to score points consistently. Talent wise these teams are super close. I don't even care about breaking down each teams advantages. I think this one comes down to an ascending program vs a descending program. ND has quit on Kelly. Look for this game to be close early, until ND faces adversity, at which time they will implode and Miami pulls away. The over could be a good play as well as I'm expecting Kizer to put up some points and a garbage score or two.
