#5 Notre Dame @ #8 Oklahoma

[UOducksTK1]

I think Oklahoma wins pretty easily. But we'll see. Oklahoma 38 ND 20

[Greenblood]

I'll hope for any OU victory. A lopsided one all the better.

[woundedknees]

35-7, OU... ND scores on a fumble recovery.

As much as I would like this to be true, I think ND is better than that. I bet OU wins but not by that large of a margin.

I don't care what the score is, only that OK wins.

You all realize an OU win only strengthens KSU's SOS right? Best possible outcome for us, assuming KSU beats TTU, is for ND to win this week and then lose to USC later in the year. Obviously if KSU is beaten by TTU, any loss by ND is good.

I'm not convinced USC can beat ND this year. I'll take a ND loss any way I can get it.

Really? Personally, I think ND is going to lose to both OU and USC. If there is a defensive weakness for the Irish, it's in the secondary. As us Duck fans know all too well, USC certainly has the talent to take advantage of that.

I'm more concerned of KSU ending the season out of our reach in the BCS with wins over Top 15 TTU, Top 10 OU, and Top 25 UT, than I am of ND finishing undefeated.

I am not sure what will happen in this game, as I haven't watched much of Notre Dame and even less of Oklahoma this season, but it seems like Oklahoma tends to melt when they get hit in the mouth. I am going to predict a low scoring Irish victory.

ND 16 OU 13

What we have here is a good “SEC” quality defense going up against a team that has a quality offense and a good but not great defense. The Irish has already faced better defenses in Michigan State and BYU. In my opinion the best defense that Oklahoma has faced before this weekend is Kansas State, which held Okie to 19 points, and they are not as good as the Irish.


Look for what typically happens in this scenario, Oklahoma wont score as nearly as much as they normally do and Notre Dame will end up scoring in the low to upper 20’s.


I’m thinking a 27 – 24 Irish win.

[Phenom]

Oklahoma by 2+ TDs.

What time is the game?

And away we go.

I'd like to see Landry Jones play out of his mind today. Don't think ND can score more than 21 and keep up.

[Duck07]

OU scores first, 3-0.

[woundedknees]

7-3 ND.
