Game Notes
NOTRE DAME

-OK State loves to pass. Notre Dame can't stop the pass. This could spell bad for the Irish.

-Irish must put pressure on quarterback Brandon Weedon. Weedon passed for 3400 yards with a 30/9 touchdown to interception ratio.

-This will be the last game for seniors including Michael Floyd. Look for the Irish to get him the ball in his last college game.

OK STATE

-OK State uses the air attack but they also run the ball well with two halfbacks in Jeremy Smith and Joseph Randle.

-Justin Blackmon (82 rec/1112 yds/8 TD) is their best receiver and Irish will try to lock him up.

-The Cowboys also have a solid defense ranking #24 in total yards given up.
