many questions. They both have two of the best traditions in college football. Playing before 100,000 fans, majority a Texas crowd, honoring a previous championship Texas team, can be very intimidating, especially for freshman players. Texas has two great big, fast running backs that will be hard to stop, I I'm not sure Texas Freshman QB while very good, had to handle pressure of this game, doubt he will start, but will play in the game. ND has two very good QB, but new receiver's. They lost seven great players to NFL from last years team. They have many holes to fill. ND favored by 3 1/2 pts. I have a medium size bet on ND, but not real confident. Big TV audience as only game on Sunday night 9/4/16. Go Irish
