Rockne's Roundtable

I hate night games,lol. i usually drink too much before they kick off.

But remember, ND isn't 'relevant' anymore.

The USC game will probably be played at 8pm.

Just out of idle curiosity . . . I know the late start disrupts the normal flow of activity during game day, but why is 8:00pm a disadvantage for ND and an advantage for the opponent? They have the same game day disruption.

It's not as much a disruption for the ND specifically, but more of an advantage for the home team. I am sure that it is a very possible landing spot for Game Day (haven't looked at other games), so it could be a huge circus in East Lansing that will be a huge bonus for MSU.

In my mind, I don't see this as a win anymore with the fact that we will most likely be starting a QB who has never played in this environment before, and MSU's defense is going to be tough. Preliminary thought on this game is it will be a race to 21.
