Western Michigan Broncos trot into South Bend on Saturday for the first patsy game for the Irish this season - unless you count Purdue. As the Irish face their first non-BCS foe this year, many would expect a let down. Believe it or not, the Irish have underperformed against bad BCS conference teams, rather than non-BCS ones. And Brian Kelly, being a former non-BCS team coach seems to have a healthy appreciation of not giving these teams any hope of an upset. Brian Kelly spoke last week about how he understands how little a team like Western Michigan has to lose - and you can tell he knew this from his experiences at Grand Valley State and Central Michigan.
Not much analysis here. The Irish haven't had a game to really work on their offense against an inferior opponent - unlike any other team in the country. I expect the Irish to score 40 or maybe 50 points, and this be a 30pt blowout that we wouldn't see from past years Irish teams. Hope its fun to watch, but only for Irish fans:
IRISH 45 Western Michigan 17
Straight up 4-2, 2-2-2 ATS
