Game Preview: ND @ UM

Well, Week One was bizarre... and that's all I have to say about that.  Luckily, nothing cures the hangover of a loss like beating the Pure Michigan snot out of some skunkbears.  Even better, the entire sports world will get to watch us do it during prime time tomorrow night under the lights.

I'm expecting our defense to continue its solid play, with a few added turnovers as a bonus.  Team Captain Harry Smith will return to his ballhawk ways, and if Denard doesn't learn how to tie his shoelaces by tomorrow night Manti just might knock him out of his cleats.

On the offensive side of the ball, I am hoping to see a much heavier dose of Two Oh.  I look forward to watching him steamroll the yellow bellied skunkbears all night long, and I can't wait to see him flash his Leprechaun gloves into the camera after his first touchdown of the season.

Oh yeah... I forgot one thing... It's TOMMY TIIIIIME!!!  The legend that is Tommy Rees will continue to grow in yet another epic venue, as the Sophomore extends his streak to 5-0 as a starter.

Score Prediction:

Irish: 34 (+10 style points for the shamrocks on our helmets)
Skunkbears: 20 (-10 style points for the ugliest helmets in football)

Game Ball Predictions:

Offensive MVP:  Tommy Rees
Defensive MVP: Harry Smith

These kids know whats up.

GO IRISH!  BEAT SKUNKBEARS!
