The Irish are coming into this game with a great offense and it is an offense that has been able to really control the tempo of the game they have played. The downside is the Irish are relying heavily on Book and while he is good, he cannot do it all on his own. Look for that to make the difference in the game as Book does enough to help the Irish win this game, but the Irish do not cover the spread. Final Score, Notre Dame Fighting Irish win, but do not cover 34-27.
