Nothing would surprise me but I kinda feel like ND (as a program) felt like the UL loss last year was their worst. I just get the impression ND might be a little more focused

[blankman]

I’m rockin with The Ville all day, but we all know Notre Dame’s gonna bring it! Looking forward to a battle!

[kbrewski]

I was disgusted by last year's embarrassment. It's payback time. Marcus better have this team FULLY PREPARED and hungry for red meat. Still not sold on Leonard's mid to long range accuracy.

Cards fan here. Just being a realist…ion think we go in to ND and come out with a win. We beat them here last year. They’re gonna want blood. The NIU loss at home has them on high alert too.

As a Notre Dame fan, the only way they have a chance of being apart of the playoffs is to cover each week's points spread. Relying on the run will only get you so far

I can't have faith in Riley Leonard, If he doesn't perform well today he should be replaced!☘️

[opaulamorgan]

Notre Dame fans, send prayers up to St. Sebastian, patron saint of athletes, his strength of stamina, perseverence, and courage in the face of adversity are legendary. He lived in the Roman Empire in the 3rd century notable for keeping his faith a secret while converting others to christianity.🙏☘️

Hard to tell what kinda team freeman will bring. Hes so inconsistent with his teams it’s wild. You know he has a top 5 team. Then the next week he’ll bring you a bottom 100 team. Just depends what team shows.

Dude were banged up to . At ND We lost 3 of our starting offense lineman …. Our best edge rusher on D . etc

[mattyg-rx]

Those dudes hurt are not big contributors at all. Riley will be good to go

[Mikey-iq]

Birds didn't have teeth Louisville are bums

[DaveIrish]

Should be a battle. Looking forward to tomorrow GO Irish

[michaeljohnson]

Same stuff we heard last year. Let's just skate over being beat at home by a high school team.

[chasejohnson]

As an ND fan I don’t see how we are favored in this game. Our OLine is young and banged up and our pass game is awful this season. It’s awful to say as a fan but the only thing you need to stop our offense is a spy on Riley Leonard stack the box. Teams are going to try and make us beat them by throwing the ball this year.

[Unclerucki]

It's bad when you gotta rely on injuries for a win.

[geraldsportsjr]

I don’t think my cardinals will crash ND but I think it will be a close game but we win and be 4-0 and send ND playoff teams to the dust but we will see.

[FrogGiggin]

I’m just going to put this out there for all you unfamiliar with Louisville sports. Whenever you get high in this team, they lose. Last year they lost to an unranked Pittsburgh, Louisville always and I mean ALWAYS finds a way to lose ask anyone that lives there. This is a Notre Dame team that is in do or die mode back against the wall at home. And it’s likely to be wet out, possibly forcing this into a ground and pound game which favors Notre Dame.

[philipf]

I think the Irish are a really good team and will be motivated to show that against Louisville. Irish 38-17

[eknhoqf]

Why all this clamoring and hope for ND making Top 12 to be in playoffs. They will get humiliated in playoffs so why bother?
