The South Bend Blarney’s Predictions

The South Bend Blarney blog has ten Fighting Irish predictions for the upcoming football season. Here’s the link. Usually here at the Notre Dame Blog we come across lots of predictions for the next season that are weak, predictable, filled with caveats and as obvious as the sunrise. So we appreciate a good, solid, bold prediction, one with a chance of falling flat on its face. SBB’s firs prediction is that Jimmy Clausen will break Brady Quinn’s passing records this season. Whoa. That’s going to be hard to accomplish. He’s talking 38 touchdowns, and about 4,000 yards. That would be a huge improvement for Clausen. Last season he racked up 3,172 yards and 25 touchdowns.  

SBB’s blog has big predictions for the Irish individually- he says Armando Allen will break 1,000 yards and Michael Floyd will get 12 TD catches. But he also thinks the Irish will finish 9-3, which is a pretty conservative position. He says the Irish will lose to Michigan State, USC and Stanford. Let’s hope that the Irish go undefeated to prove all the predictions and the nay-sayers wrong!
