How’d We Do Last Week?
As a refresher, each week I will feature the Most Accurate, Most interesting, and Most Wildly Inaccurate takes. Let’s get to it!
Most Wildly Inaccurate
Sorry 1989, but Bettis (checks notes) didn’t have a snap. While this was disappointing, you absolutely cannot blame the coaching staff with the career day Micah Gilbert put together. 9 Catches, 98 yards and 2 TDS? Sure! (also 2 WRs had over 75 yards so this was actually a solid take, hat tip!)
Most Interesting
If your take is going to emphasize an awesome
Movie, I am probably going to feature it!
Most Accurate
Am I quoting my own dad who called out my accurate takes? Maybe. As a refresh I had Carr with a Career defining day with 3 Pass TDs and 1 Rush TD. While he was a foot short of the Rush TD, it was pretty damn close. I also had Mensah struggling in the first half, only to come on the second half only to fall just short. Sometimes, I just have to tip my cap to…..myself!
Now on to the Takes for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish as they take on Boston College!
Cold Take
Grosssss start to the game
Despite this being the most obvious, clear-cut letdown spot I can think of, Notre Dame will still start slow. The Irish are going to be banged up and a bit drained from the epic clash with Miami. Fans will be irate on Twitter, wondering what in the world Chris Ash is doing as BC quarterback Mason McKenzie rushes for a first-half touchdown. I expect this game to remain within a score for most of the first half…sadly. However, I think a flurry of scoring over a short stretch will allow the Irish to comfortably pull away early in the second half.
Hot Take
Bubba Frazier Touchdown
Is this scorching? Yes. Has he done anything in any capacity to make me believe this is coming? Not really. However, I pay very close attention to these things, and during the Miami game, Frazier was subbed in on punt coverage. It is clear to me that they are setting up some sort of fake or gadget play involving him…because you don’t throw a freshman out there against Miami for no reason. This is coming off a couple plays against BYU as well….something seems to be loading there….
You might be asking…why would they “waste” a play like this against a team like Boston College? Simple. It’s an opponent they can likely catch off guard while also getting the look on tape. That means future opponents will have to account for it and potentially dedicate practice time to preparing for it.
This may be my hottest take to date…
Your Takes: Please leave your takes below (hot, cold medium-any temp). I will feature the Top Takes next week. GO IRISH!
