My guess is the strategy will be as follows. Run the zone read option with Zaire. As long as its effective and our D holds up he probably stays in the game. If we are not capable of stopping them (get down early) or Zaire isn't able to move the ball. Then Golson will come in and they'll attempt to chuck it all over the field.

Since Zaire is starting, I'm wondering if we will see more run-option? It killed LSU vs Auburn.

Go Irish!
