Another night game for the Irish. With a loss from North Carolina last Saturday the Demon Deacons dropped to 5-3 and 4-2 in the ACC. This wake forest may be as inconsistent at the Irish with a loss to Syracuse and a win over at the time #23 Florida State. Traditional thinking says that the Deacons will have to pass on the Irish defense because their rushing game is weak at best whereas their passing game is good to pretty good.
When the Irish meet Wake Forest this Saturday night it will be their first meeting in Notre Dame’s 123 years of football and theirs 141 different opponent. The good news is the Irish have a winning percentage of .846 and a record of 117-20-3 when facing a team for the first time.
Wake Forest has a big and an experienced offensive line and is more than capable of winning this game. The Irish need to keep their momentum rolling and go into the Stanford game with three consecutive wins. If Notre Dame losses Saturday night odds are that they will end with four loses before a bowl game. November was very good to the Irish last season let’s hope it is as kind to them this year.
A bad note in the recruiting trail out of South Bend literally; South Bend’s (Washington High) own David Perkins de-committed from Notre Dame. Perkins dominated at The Opening run by Nike this summer. Technically he is shopping around and taking some official visits to other schools. LSU, Oregon and Boise State are on his radar.
