I could be wrong, particularly with the GT game, but I think the neutral site games affects ticket allocation, though. I'd be willing to bet the game in Atlanta has more tickets available to ND fans than if they were playing at Bobby Dodd.
I’m sure you’re right…..Mercedes is much larger than Bobby Dodd.
The U backing out of the game this year really put us in a bind
Wish it would have been in Bobby Dodd. That’s a fun little stadium. I’d estimate the Irish will outnumber GT 3:1 at the Falcon’s Stadium
Hoping to be among the Irish crowd.
Ditto
Trust me, there would be plenty of tickets available in Bobby Dodd
Alt was better in pass protection, he had quicker feet, but we shouldn't forget that Fisher was starting ahead of him as a freshmen at LT. Big Fish was a monster run blocker, and he wasn't a slouch as a pass protector although he did get beat in a few games like Clemson. I'm not surprised he went early, and maybe he could have come back and gotten a 1st round grade, but I think he'll do well in the NFL and will end up earning a big contract later. I'm not sure we'll ever see a more dominant Tackle pair than Alt and Fish.
Imo Stanley and big Mike have a very strong case
Good case, but Alt was/is better than Stanley at similar points in their respective careers. Big Mike struggled in pass protection too, especially against Georgia, and he essentially got shipped from the 49ers in part because of performance.
They were good in 2015 no doubt but they both gave up a number of sacks. They were both drafted so high due to elite potential. Stanley despite injuries has gotten so much better in the NFL.
Alt was great. Fisher was pretty mediocre last year. There have multiple pairing of great and solid tackles at ND over the last decade. We'll see plenty more
I think the year before is when Fisher was mediocre. He wasn't elite last year, but I would rate him above average. Dropping some lbs. helped him a lot.
I liked the 2013 tandem of Zach Martin at LT and RS freshman Stanley at RT. From memory it seemed that line overall was very good at pass protection which it needed to be with Rees at QB. Felt it was kind of an overlooked line just because it was a mediocre season for the team overall
Pretty mediocre doesn't get you drafted in the 2nd round. He had a few struggles with some better Edge rushers, but overall he was a very good Tackle. It doesn't help when you're constantly compared to a phenom like Alt.
I don't think Fisher benefitted a lot, if any, from dropping his weight.
There will probably be about 80k of them.
