On paper, we should have no problem with ND. We have more talent. Our team is seasoned. ND is suffering from injuries. Their QB is raw. Etc. Etc.
Certainly the ND coaching staff is aware of the mismatches. If both teams play their basic offensive and defensive schemes, ND loses 9/10 times.
But what if ND pulls a Virginia Tech? What if they go for broke and show some crazy defense that we haven't prepared for? It's early in the season and we have no 2022 film on them, other than their spring game.
I'm probably just being paranoid. Thoughts?
