There is no doubt that the Notre Dame Fighting Irish are a very talented and dangerous team this season but their one loss may come back to haunt them for the college football playoff. The Irish at 8-1 for the year will try to continue their winning ways as they host the Wake Forest Demon Deacons on Saturday afternoon in South Bend. Wake Forest is just 3-6 for the season and would need to win their final three games to make a bowl game which seems unlikely at this point.
Notre Dame beat Pittsburgh 42-30 last week on the road and will likely need to win out to have a shot at the playoff. DeShone Kizer has been great after replacing an injured Malik Zaire. Kizer has thrown for 1,931 yards, 16 touchdowns and six interceptions. Will Fuller has been the recipient of plenty of Kizer throws this season with 44 catches for 900 yards and 12 touchdowns. C.J. Prosise has rushed for 975 yards and 11 touchdowns but may not play due to a concussion suffered last week at Pittsburgh.
Wake Forest is coming off of a 20-19 loss against Louisville in their last game and have lost three straight. John Wolford has thrown for 1,143 yards, seven touchdowns and eight interceptions at quarterback for the Demon Deacons. Cortez Lewis has led the receivers with 36 catches for 468 yards and two touchdowns while Kendall Hinton has 316 yards rushing and six touchdowns to lead the run game. This would be a great place for an upset for Wake Forest to make a statement.
