I think their DL is improved. Physically, there’s a lot of NFL bodies there.

Yeah. This is my primary concern. I’m not quite yet fully sold on our OL, particularly in pass pro. And USC should be one of the better pass rushes we’ve seen. Hopefully they’ve improved since Miami.

I know our defense has improved so I’m not too worried about that side of the ball. If we can protect Carr we should win by two scores.

Arkansas had some good pass rushers on their DLine as well and our pass pro held up well. I’m more concerned about them taking away the run game in the way Miami did. We’ve had the luxury of a balanced attack so far. I am not sure our passing game will be as successful if we can’t consistently run the ball.

Last year’s game went our way largely because we were able to run all over SC in the open field. If their DLine can take that away, I am concerned for our offense

SC will likely rush for some good gains more than we’re used to seeing but the key is to contain them. With that passing attack, the run game is able to capitalize on defenses looking to defend their passing attack. If they truly lined up against or DL, ND would whip them but credit Lincoln Riley for his play calling.

No. I think Moore should cover the other Wr. Double Lemon

These are pretty much your two options. Either shadow Lemon everywhere, or you leave Moore on an island and try to bracket Lemon as much as possible.

Going to game and trying to find out where I can find a game day itinerary of times of all the events at stadium so I can experience as much as possible. Any help would be appreciated. Haven't been to a game since 2006 and literally got to game late so have not experienced any pregame events. Thanks in advance for any hrlp

Wear a hefty bag. It’s dry, wind proof, and you can hide a water bottle filled with bourbon!

Do we ever really do that tho? Seems like they prefer to keep Moore to the boundary no matter their personnel. I’d expect to see Lemon killing our nickel as usual

6/10 of Lemon’s targets were behind the LOS versus Michigan.

Against Illinois 1/16 targets were behind the LOS versus Illinois.

We’ll see how much they respect our pass rush

I think player walk is about two hours before kickoff. Band concert on the steps of Bond hall is 90 mins before kickoff. There’s a drumline performance immediately afterwards (probably when trumpets at the dome happens, but I’ve never been since drumline is better). Band march out to the stadium is after that.

I appreciate the help but. I meant more like gameday stuff at stadium. The trumpets. Player walk in times. Stuff like that.

It's all in that link if you go to gameday and scroll through the listed events. Trumpets under the dome is now unfortunately in front of the Dome post-COVID and is much less cool than it used to be. I really wish some bigwig at ND would start making noise about bringing that back inside. It was an incredible tradition.
