I think they’re probably slightly more talented. But how’d they give up 45 to Michigan who could barely score vs other decent teams they’ve played? ND has issues at LB. They’re more experienced on OL than us but “talent” wise I’ll take Nester, Hudson and Darrisaw being at least equal to those ND guys

They have a WR who is more consistent than Hazelton but we have Hazelton and Turner who are as explosive if not more than anything I saw from ND. Hooker vs Book? Book has the experience edge...talent? Nope Hooker was a 4*, so Book based on talent evaluators isn’t more “talented”

ND has a slight edge in talent overall and a big experience edge. They’ll probably win by 10-17 realistically. If Hokies are healthy and play even or better in turnovers, they’ll be in the game
