Notre Dame Will Win This "Reggie Ball" Game


First off, I apologize to Metallica for posting this. The Georgia Tech fan who put "Enter Sandman" in a Georgia Tech highlight video is a slap in the face to Metallica
I was goofing around today on the internet and found myself at http://www.SouthernPigskin.com and I saw where they had a list of games that they think could very well be upsets. One game that was on their list I totally have to disagree with though - Notre Dame @ Georgia Tech. It would be different if Georgia Tech didn't play all their home games in a high school football stadium - it would be different if they didn't run out of the tunnel with that stupid car leading the pack first - it would be different if their football team averaged more points than their baseball team did - it would be different if Georgia Tech actually had a quarterback who could throw. They call Reggie Ball a dual threat quarterback because he can run but they're forgetting about one thing.......he CAN'T THROW! So therefore he's not dual threat.

No, this game won't even be close. If Notre Dame is the favorite, (which they will be), and the line is anywhere from 10 points or lower .... take the Irish, and put a lot on them. Think about it, this Georgia Tech team lost to Utah in the Emerald Bowl 38-10 last year. No, I did not studder, you heard me correctly, the "Emerald Bowl." Just because Georgia Tech opened last years season up with a 23-14 win against Auburn doesn't mean that they will open up a win this year against #2 Notre Dame.

I don't care that Georgia Tech is returning 9 starters on the offensive side of the ball. I don't care that they had road wins at Auburn and at Miami last year. I don't care that All-American WR Calvin Johnson can jump up, touch the lights and come back down and catch a ball. By the way, Notre Dame has 8 returning starters on offense coming back this year, and 9 returning starters on defense. Reality is Reality ...... Reggie Ball is a below average QB, Bobby Dodd Stadium is about as intimidating as a high school stadium, and whereas last year's Notre Dame team thought it could be good, this year's version knows it can and should be great. Rudy, Rudy, Rudy, Rudy, .............

I definitely think GT had a chance in this game. They have had a good defense for the last 6 years or so. Its the offense led by Mr Ball that has been killing them. The D will keep them in this game so he is the key. If he plays poorly they get blown out, if he plays ok they keep it close, but if he plays well they win.

GT probably plays okay. Reggie Ball will dance around a few times and get some yards. Calvin Johnson will make a few catches. The GT band will play their normal songs that will sound ok. But in the end, Notre Dame will win 27-14

Notre Dame is about 2 years out from being a powerhouse and GTech is about 2 years out from being a cellar dweller in the ACC. but this year I think Ga Tech actualy has a shot at winning the game. ND should win but a tech win would not suprise me at all.
