Actually, the N.D. game is probably the most suspicious line to me, knowing what we know right now.

IF:
a) we were even with them last year in their place
b) despite starting Josh Nunes
c) despite their starting Everett Golson

That implies more than a 5.5 point swing to me. Rule of thumb is 6 pt swing -- so if status quo, we should be favored by six. Somehow N.D. got a half point better than us during the offseason? Seems unlikely.

Wasn't it Tommy Rees, who will probably be the starting QB when we play them, the guy who came off the bench and won the game for them in the second half.
