Either way, offenses are gonna dominate haha. Both defenses are gonna be in nickel the entire time, which isn't great for the young LB's. At least we get to see the CB depth get tested, though.

Bo Pelini?

Watch out, he's not pussy-footing around here. Maybe he's being brought in to test the waters as a replacement for BVG...ala Kiffin's entrance into 'Bama.

 

[dublinirish]

Not a real game if you go rolling clock in 2nd half which is terrible for the walk-on's. It's their only chance to actually compete in a game, I wish BK would just let them play

 

[rocket66]

Hell ya I'd trade BVG for Bo Pelini in a heart beat. Could you imagine our sideline red faces with BK and Pelini together? Lmao!

I agree. Last spring game I went to I was pretty eager to see some of the younger players play. Seems like the team comes out after "halftime" and they're back off the field before you know it. Not saying we need a 3-4 hour long scrimmage, but the quarters are reduced already, right? Is there some NCAA time limitation in play here?

Nope it's just BK wanting to prevent injuries. I remember back in CW's days the spring games were longer and we had all the walk-on's getting proper reps. Seem to remember Paddy Coughlin breaking a few long runs

This. Bo has experience with D linemen too. Couldn't hurt to brainstorm and kick the tires.

Maybe Bo is here to learn how to make a defense more complicated!

 

[SoIll]

ISD hinted at it, I was also there today. Kizer looks better overall than Malik right now. I dont think Malik is quite "right" yet, but Deshone was impressive. Can really see him stepping up into that leadership role. Tomorrow is going to be fun to watch

Does this mean we'll see Rochelle versus McGlinchey-Nelson or McGovern-Harrell? The former would be exciting, the latter is going to get somebody killed.

 

[ulukinatme]

Is Martini injured? Not seeing him there, I'm probably out of the loop or forgetting something.

had wrist surgery and hasn't practised all spring along with Coney

 

[ulukinatme]

Thanks. I knew Coney was still out, but I haven't been keeping great tabs on who was back and who wouldn't be ready till fall.

It would be cool to see Malik and Kizer on the field at the same time as a new wrinkle (and I hate to use this comparison, but...) ala Braxton Miller.

So which is it?

I have to say, I was really hoping that it would be Kizer vs Malik for at least the first half. I'm excited that it's live, but it won't have the same feel if it's Kizer vs Wimbush most of the game.

rivals put it out that malik was playing w/ both teams today in practice...but then the other report from the official ND.COM lists wimbush as a rotating player so i would go w/ the official Football Announces Blue-Gold Game Rosters/Format :: Notre Dame Football :: UND.COM :: The Official Site of Notre Dame Athletics

 

[connor_in]

Is Martini injured?

Rumor is he was shaken...not stirred.
