Signed up today. I am a ND fan. Not disrespecting Miami but, upon reading the board, there is very little respect for ND. Just trying to add some perspective.
Because you’re a gimmick...literally. Your offense is predicated on running the football and throwing off reads created by your massive rushing attack. We go 8 deep on our D-line with 6 guys that are probably going to be draft picks(UGA and N.C. State don’t go that deep) with two of our starting LB’s bonafide draft picks too...you’re not running for 200 yards against us like you did against N.C. state. We also have three NFL caliber corners on the roster in Mike Jackson, Malek Young, and Dee Delaney on the roster with a stud freshman and a promising JUCO that rotate in as well AND they are all good tacklers.
If we play shallow zone , take away the middle of the field, and force Wimbush/your receivers to be beat our corners to beat us you guys won’t score more than 17 points.
Maybe we won't but FSU, Syracuse, Ga.Tech and Toledo did. I think our Oline (and overall offense) are better than any of those teams mentioned.
- Syracuse got 40% of their yards off 2 broken plays by dungey
- FSU still averaged 4.5 yards for the entire game after their big first half and ran for 69 in the 2nd half
- GT averaged 4.2 a carry and was limited to 1.6 yards a play in the 2nd half....which is the lowest ypp they had in years
- Toledo ran for 85 yards and averaged 2.4....and they have a QB that not only isn5x better than Wimbush but would’ve been ND’s best QB in 20 years.
Another thing about GT, nobody blocks better as a unit than them PERIOD so FYI you have more talent than them but nobody will ever be a better blocking unit than GT because of how they play...
Unfortunately, ND plays Navy every year and they block just as well, believe me.
