Default Sugar Bowl Stuff

I got this on another site.. Little writeup on tonights game...This kind of bucks my under play

Wednesday, January 3

Sugar Bowl, New Orleans


Underdogs covered 12 of last 16 bowls, so Notre Dame has to get look as dog, especially with senior QB Quinn, but then you look at game being in LSU's backyard, how they whacked Miami last year, 40-3, how NFL scouts say that Tigers have most talent in country, how game is on artificial turf, and you say Irish have no shot. Everyone has a shot, but beating LSU is a tall order.

Notre Dame lost its last eight bowls; they got crushed by both Michigan, USC this season; their lack of overall team speed is going to hurt them here, and lets face it, we may have gotten to point where the preferential treatment Irish get from media works against them, putting the bulls-eye on their back no matter who they play, even if they're the underdog.

I think Notre Dame will score, but LSU will score more, so my position is that over is the right play in the Sugar Bowl
