I'd go Radel Gm 1; Uber/Crowell combo Gm 2

IF you get to Gm 2 of course. Radel is the only one I feel good about seeing a batting order multiple times.

Gotta be Radel game 1

Stiff saved him for game 2 last year. Yet to win a tourney game in his tenure.

I had forgotten that he was held out last year

In fairness he should get a start in game one much as I would like to go further in the tournament in the end it won't really get ND much further without winning an impossible number of games.

Radel is clearly the safest choice but since

ND beat Clemson 6-0, 8-7, and 7-4 a riskier plan is to use Uber/Crowell against Clemson. Then use Radel against Virginia Tech, a team ND didn't play so they haven't see what Radel can do.

I don't know if that would be worth anything in the long run.
