Here it is...game by game predictions for the 2007 Irish.

Georgia Tech: Starting QB Evan Sharpley (yes, I said it) will have a slow game against Tech. However, dual backs Munir Prince and James Aldridge will carry the Irish over against the rebuilding Yellow Jackets.

Georgia Tech: 14  Notre Dame: 24

@Penn State: The Nittany Lions are back and out for revenge after the crushing that was given to them last year in South Bend. The Irish offense will be slow and Morelli will be much better than he was last year.  Look for the Nittany Lions to overpower Notre Dame.

Notre Dame: 10  Penn State: 34

@Michigan:Watch out. The Wolverines are going to be 2-0 and full of steam. The Irish, though, will keep it close and lose in a thriller.

Notre Dame:17  Michigan:21

Michigan State: Huh! Where's Evan? Demetrius Jones will now be starting over Evan Sharpley who never really got the offense going. It will be a competitive game, but Jones' athleticism and Prince and Aldridge's strength will prove the Irish to be better than their record.

Michigan State: 24  Notre Dame:41

Purdue: We're just too good. The Boilermakers won't stand a chance and we'll beat up on them and have a winning record once more.

Notre Dame:35  Purdue:7

UCLA: Like last year, this one's going to be close. Also like last year, we will break away in the last few minutes, but there will be many doubts about Jones' accuracy.

Notre Dame:28  UCLA:24

Boston College: Remember these guys. Brady Quinn could never beat them. But now Brady's gone and Demetrius is in. The days of losing to them are over we will beat them solidly.

Notre Dame:35  Boston College:21

USC: The big game. We're on a streak and they're number 1 in the country. Notre Dame will play well, maybe even be leading after the first quarter.  But then the Trojans will take over and we will lose to them yet again.

USC:56  Notre Dame: 21

Navy: Jones out, Clausen in. We'll beat em up.

Notre Dame:35  Navy:10

Air Force: Easy from here, though they might give us a scare.

Air Force: 28  Notre Dame:42

Duke: You can't win at every sport.

Notre Dame: 49  Duke:13

Stanford: We're excited for our would be BCS bowl and get a scare, but a last minute drive by Clausen will take us over.

Notre Dame: 42  Stanford: 38

Final Record: 9-3  The Irish excel when nobody else thinks they will.
