Examining the Part 3 of 4 in the Upcoming Football Season

If you’ve been following the Notre Dame Blog lately, then you know that the Iris already have their schedule set for the next season. We went over the first six regular season games in the last two day’s entries, and now we’re on to the third quarter of games. At this point, we think that the Irish are going to be either 4-2 or 5-1 heading into their game with Washington.

  • Oct 25 @Washington – A nice little storyline behind the game, with Ty Willingham’s team playing Charlie Weis’ team. As you know, Willingham was the coach at Notre Dame before being let go. This is Weis’ game to lose, as Notre Dame should be a better team than the Huskies this year.
  • Nov 1 Pittsburgh – While they aren’t typically a college football powerhouse, the Panthers could be surprising on offense this year, meaning this game, like all the others, won’t be a pushover. The Domers pull away in the 4th to win by 10.
  • Nov 8 @Boston College – Another great rivalry game this season will pit the two D-1 college football programs from Catholic universities. God will pick the winner here. Good thing God sent Matt Ryan to the Falcons.

After looking at the schedule, this seems like the easiest part of the season for the Irish, but even still they’d have to play very well to go 2-1 in these three games. They will though, so our safe money is on Notre Dame being 6-3 heading into the stretch run. But they could just as likely be 7-2. Get Notre Dame Fighting Irish football tickets at Stubhub.com.
