4 reasons the Notre Dame football team will beat Wisconsin in Week 4
Coaching
This game should be close throughout, which means it is going to come down to which team is not only more disciplined but which team is coached better. When it comes to the coaching staffs, both programs have elite men on the sidelines, but I believe that the Notre Dame staff is going to come out a winner in this one.
Brian Kelly will be looking to set the Notre Dame win record in this one, and we saw big improvements from Marcus Freeman’s defense last week against Purdue. Tommy Rees drew up some big plays down the field, and as a while, the coaching staff is starting to gel in a way that should make the Irish very tough to beat down the stretch.
The defense took a big step forward in Week 3, and against this Wisconsin offense, there are fewer playmakers to worry about than against Purdue last weekend. Freeman and Kelly are outstanding football minds, and Rees is getting better every week in Year 2 as the OC, so expect a flawless game plan against Wisconsin.
