FSU football: 2024 Game-by-game predictions and win shares
By Kelvin Hunt
@ Notre Dame on November 9th
This is the game everyone assumes FSU will lose. I get it. FSU is on the road, and the weather could be cold at night in South Bend. Notre Dame had a great defense in 2023. However, they have former Duke QB Riley Leonard as their starting QB and a new offensive coordinator who came from LSU. They lost several guys from their offensive line, but they recruited the position well and got some help overall from the transfer portal.
Adam Fuller dominated this offensive coordinator twice and faced Leonard last year before FSU ended his season(Duke should have never played him in that game). This Notre Dame offense doesn't scare me, and I think Clemson is a much bigger threat (Clemson beat Notre Dame last year too). I think FSU's offense will know their strengths and weaknesses this late in the season, and the coaches will game plan well. I like FSU here in a close 28-24 win with a 55 percent chance to win.
