The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are a worthy opponent here, they’re well coached, and the crowd will be out in full force. I considered the Irish in the underdog role. However, the Michigan State Spartans are just far more battle tested, proven, and they just have a toughness that makes you think they can go into South Bend and steal one. Notre Dame has some showing and proving to do, especially on defense. I’ll lay the bucket.
