I feel like it's closer to the OSU game than any other game IU has played. Notre Dame's better at rushing but worse at passing, but I don't necessarily think they're going to be running all over Indiana. I think Riley Leonard's stock is going to crash, but Notre Dame will still do well enough on the ground to get a few touchdowns and have the lead (albeit not comfortably) all game. IU is one of the best at third down defense, and I think they'll successfully get Notre Dame off the field enough to make the game winnable, but I don't think they can move the ball well enough against Notre Dame's defense, and I think both offenses will run out of gas if drives drag on too long. I'm also concerned about IU's special teams, which set up OSU's rout in what might've otherwise been a fight IU dragged out. I don't think Notre Dame will look amazing on offense, but they are good enough that I think they can put up a respectable score, probably in the ballpark of 24 points. I don't think IU can match that, and I'd guesstimate them around three or four scoring drives, though they might only put up 10 or so if they go for the touchdown and come up empty-handed, especially if those drives come later in the game when a field goal might not move the needle. Prediction: ND 24, IU 13. Ish.
I think this game will sneakily be one of the most exciting ones in the first round. Indiana has played very tough all year and a very stingy defense. That said I don't think they have the horses to run with Notre Dame. I think I have Notre Dame winning by two scores but only getting that margin late and it being tight all game
I got Indiana 34-28
ND O-line are extremely tough , Indiana must stop the run . Hope they can !
