ND has had 2 weeks to prepare for this game so there are no excuses.

Still it is difficult to determine how good or bad this team is with all the injuries. But the record is the record-so we go from there.

As previously posted–this group of ND players should be hitting their stride. All of the excellent recruiting by Weis over his last 4 years should now be showing up on the field–it isn’t. How do you get them to play–no one on 2 coaching staffs seems to know. Better in Nov. than Sept.–No.

Okay a good Utah team gets blown out by TCU, so the feeling here is, they will come into ND all pumped up. They will not fall flat–no one else has, and, again this is a good well coached team.

Thus far, of the 5 losses, the winning team put up at least 28 points including Tulsa and Utah is a far better team. With that in mind this observer believes Utah hits 40 or over this Saturday.

Final Score

Utah 42 ND 24
