Wake Forest suspends DT Banks for final 3 games

The Wake Forest Demon Deacons have struggled mightily this season in many different ways. If they can not do that then the Irish will run away with this game. Despite the presence of Okwara, Jaylon Smith and Sheldon Day, the Irish are tied for 43rd in total defense (365 ypg). Wake Forest last played Notre Dame on October 23, a game that ended 2-1 Deacons.

All though Notre Dame’s game in Boston for the Shamrock Series game is considered a home game for the Irish, this will be their last true home game of the season and also senior day.

“And this time it’s turf, it’s not their long grass”.

“When it’s all said and done and the dust settles”, Grace said, “I’m just going to sit there and be like, Wow, I am so lucky and so blessed that I’ve been able to share in all these great memories for all these years”. Not to mention there is much more on the line for the Irish. The Deacons are a young team, but they are scrappy. (16) celebrate a touchdown by Hunter against the Pittsburgh Panthers during the second quarter at Heinz Field.

Notre Dame is 5-0 SU in its last 5 games at home.

Notre Dame is 9-1 SU in its last 10 games. He is really clicking at the right time for the Irish. He also rushed for 133 yards against MA and has run 412 yards on the season. Kizer was interested because his father, Derek, played basketball for the Falcons and he wanted to play more than one sport at Bowling Green. In a season with razor-thin margins and no room for error, Grace’s efforts helped turn a possible upset into one of Notre Dame’s better wins of the season. Kelly says Prosise looked good to him at practice. “We’ve had talks, and he takes things seriously when it’s time to be serious”.

“This will be, in many ways, harder than our two previous games”. Kizer posted a season-best 221.18 efficiency rating last week against Pittsburgh, completing 19 of 26 passes for 262 yards and five touchdown passes as the Irish were 4-for-4 in the red zone. Expect points in bunches from the Irish on Saturday. Wake’s defense is led by fifth year senior captain, Brandon Chubb. The only other top 20 offense Wake has faced was North Carolina and they hung 50 on the Demon Deacons.

“If he can round out his overall game and show better hands, I think he can put himself into contention for a first-round spot next year”, Wright said. “I think I’ve been quoted before in saying it’s nearly harder to win the ACC than a national championship”. I expect a lot of offense and points for Kizer and company. If that career arc looks familiar to Notre Dame fans, it is because it resembles Brian Kelly’s, who took Grand Valley State, Central MI and Cincinnati to heights previously unforeseen. ND will jump out to an early lead that it never relinquishes.
