When is the last time someone in South Bend said we swept Maize and Blue and Sparty in the Same Year? Well the Irish are under 48 Hours from possibly pulling off that feat as they took the Green off of the Spartans last week in East Lansing 20-3 and it was over after the Irish scored their 1st TD.

The Maize and Blue still have a lot to prove and we know this they can't play the Elite so the question will be answered here shortly...Is the Fighting Irish among the Elite Teams in College Football in 2012? UM Ann Arbor QB Denard Robinson has to be licking his Chops especially after they were blown out of Dallas and Sparty talking Ann Arbor Biz. Then Sparty gets tapped by the Irish. Stay Humble my Friends and always laugh at yourself before laughing at others.

The Biggest Game of the Night has the New Florida State Seminoles that look like Circa Early 90s as the have been steam rolling folks all season. Now comes a arguably their toughest ACC game of the Season in Death Valley Orange...the Clemson Tigers.

The Noles come in with a Seasoned QB in EJ Manuel and some Studs on that Fast Defense. Lead Man Jimbo Fisher also has plenty of reinforcements as they will play at least 20 Players on Defense. The 'Noles look like they have their Swagger back and the Tigers won't be easy Prey.

Speaking of Death Valley Orange Soph WR Sammy Watkins is the Truth but since coming off suspension the Tigers have not needed him as others on the Depth Chart have stepped up. QB Tajh Boys and RB Andre Ellington have played well and they will meet the Toughest D they will face all year.

730PM ET Notre Dame Stadium
South Bend, IN

MAIZE & BLUE @ IRISH

The Wolverines have not answered a Test yet as they were taken to Lake Lewisville by 'Bama and not for a Party in Dallas. QB Denard Robinson must be able to make some Plays Down the Field with his Arm not his Legs to keep the Irish D honest. This will be the Wolverines 1st winnable Huge Test and the Irish having knocked off Sparty last week have to be thinking on the up. The Defense has played better since the debacle vs 'Bama but the Irish seem to be way better in the Trenches then years past and that is why the beat down Sparty last week.

The Irish have Weapons and Talent as was illustrated vs Sparty. They must keep the Wolverines D Off Balance by keeping it Balanced and letting their Play makers do their Work in space. Irish QB Golson is a Duel Threat as well and can pose the Same Problems as Robinson except his is a better Passer. The Run Game has been above average with Two Back getting the Bulk of the Carries. The Irish D will have to make Robinson One-Dimensional and if they do that they have a real good shot at the Wolverines.

Winner: IRISH 27-23 as they may have turned that Corner for the Good last week in East Lansing. Irish QB Golson plays extremely well and UM QB Robinson inability to make Plays with his Arm neutralizes him again.

DEATH VALLEY Orange @ FSU 'NOLES
8PM ET Doak Campbell Stadium
Tallahassee, FL

Doak Campbell will be on 100 as the Best Game in the ACC should be this Game as the Other ACC Teams don't look the Part. This maybe the Best FSU Team in the last 10 Years #RealTalk. I know this is the Best Clemson Team in at least 10-15 Years. What has to Prevail for Clemson or FSU to win this Game?

The Tigers have to attack the FSU D head on and be very Physical at the Point of Attack. The Tigers have a Plethora of Play makers on the Outside an that's where they will attack FSU. Soph WR Sammy Watkins is due to breakout and this might be the game. Win the Turnover Battle and play sound Defense and do not let the 'Noles make a lot of Splash Plays on Offense and Defense the Tigers will win.

The 'Noles have EJ Manuel at QB, a Two-Headed Monster at RB, and a Doak Campbell full of Wide outs. 13 Different WRs have caught at least One Pigskin in the 1st Three Games for the 'Noles. The Game will be won if the 'Noles win it by their Stout Defense and it is Air Tight Good. 'Noles have outscored Opponents in 3 Games 176-3. They must stop the Run to contain the Tigers. If they do that they Win.

Winner: 'NOLES 37-17 as they dominate the Tigers in all Phases an the 'Noles are back ready to take that next step.
