I think ND blows out IU based on the conditions. I’ll take the best running offense and it’s not close. [both defenses are top 10 so it could be an ugly game] 
 

Rush offense- ND = 9; IU = 50+
 

I think ND wins but not because of the weather.  Bloomington is just as cold as South Bend.  It will be because ND has the Jimmies and the Joes.

And agree with this too. I have ND because they have better players, and at key positions. They are a blue blood in the trenches, and have good players around it - even with some tough injury luck at spots this season.

Try throwing a football accurate all game in 30 degree weather, with flurries and a 10mph wind.  I'll be happy I am watching it from my couch in front of a fire. 

He did that already.

Threw for 349 and 6 TD vs. Purdue in the snow. He's from Canada, I can't imagine the cold affects him like it would some of these other QBs.

I'll be honest here: I don't know why all of a sudden Notre Dame is such an overwhelming favorite in this game. 

 

A month ago everyone was calling for them to lose so that another SEC team could get in, and now, everyone seems to be thinking that they're going to waltz into the Natty.
