Indiana goes to South Bend Friday Night to take on Notre Dame. It will be cold, and snow will likely be on the ground. Notre Dame's Strength of Schedule wasn’t great (57 out of 134 teams), but Indiana was worse at 67. When they took on a ranked team in Ohio State, they got crushed as Ohio State wore them down and took the game over in the second half. Final score 38-15. I expect a similar, somewhat closer, result at Notre Dame. The ND defense is almost as good as that of the OHIO states, ranking 3rd in the country compared to Ohio's #1 defense. Indiana will hang early and maybe even lead in the first half, but Notre Dame's lines on offense and defense will wear out Indianna, and they eventually will build a lead and cover -6.5.
