Notre Dame versus Western Michigan University -- Opportunities Galore

The Fighting Irish first have to overcome the stigma and bad ju ju of being 23+ point favorites over the Broncos.

Secondly, they must contend with a nothing to lose, upset minded, trick-play happy Team that can cause problems especially if ND is flat and decides NOT to put WMU away.

Opportunities Galore

** Rest injured running back Armando Allen.

** Rest injured right tackle Taylor Dever

** Get tight end Mike Ragone into the mix early and often.

** Build a lead and send in quarterback Tommy Rees and a play package set.

** Use a four wide-out set without a tight end with Floyd, Riddick, Goodman, and Jones.

**  Let kick returner Theo Riddick have a go at a return.

** Get Cierre Wood on the field and out of his funk.

** Build a lead and get more players on the field.

What did we miss?
