I would be surprised if ND wins if they don't put 8 to 9 in the box.
ND game plan is simple.
- Don't turn the ball over.
- Keep the box loaded on D, and play man coverage especially on 1st.
- Make Jennings beat you, even if the throws a couple of deep ones they won't keep doing it.
If they can't stop the run game with 8-10 in the box then chances are not good.
I think its going to be close but hoping for a blowout.
