I'll get to my pick here in a second. I already know it won't be a popular one 

I believe ND has a defense that can slow OSU down some.  The big question for me,  can the ND offense keep up with OSU offense? I believe if the score gets above the low 20s it favors OSU.  If ND can keep the score around that or lower I believe it favors them. 

We say this about high school football all the time. But I believe ND needs to try and make this game as ugly as possible.  Take their time and burn the clock when they have the ball.  Wait till the very last second to snap the ball on every possession.  Keep the ball for most of the quarter if you can.  Limit the number of time's OSU gets the ball.  I believe they give themselves the best chance this way. 

ND is playing inspired football right now.  That could carry them to victory.  I believe OSU wins this game though.  Just don't think ND will be able to score enough to keep up with them.  Believe it'll be another close game though.  I'll pick OSU winning by 9.
