In other words don't turn the ball over like Everett Golson did 20 plus times last season. If Malik Zaire can hit 60% of his passes or more while limiting his combined turnovers to single digits Notre Dame will make the playoffs. Notre Dame has way too much talent and depth not to get through their schedule with one loss or less during the regular season. Plus their offensive line is arguably the best in the nation while the defense returns plenty of starters including All-American candidates in Sheldon Day, Jaylon Smith, KeiVarae Russell and Max Redfield at all three levels of the defense.
P.S. - Is Jac Collingsworth the adopted son of KD Lang or the long lost love child of the Goo Goo Dolls lead singer? I still haven't figured it out. The kid does an excellent job with the interviews I must say though.
