I'm not sure ND's defense has had any problem getting lined up when the opponent has less than 12 men on the field. Many people observe something once or twice without understanding the true context, then turn it into a big story in their minds.

Bowen is underappreciated, but we have great depth there.

I observed it one or twice or three times in yesterday's game too. i don't recall navy pulling the same tricks byu did.

I just want a healthy Moore on Toney man. Gonna be so annoyed if it's obvious Moore is hurt again. Not even as a Notre Dame fan, as a football fan. I just want to see it.

Our top two CBs are injured too. 3 of our top 4

Wish both teams could play at full strength

So we’re better without him?

I basically explained my thoughts on the situation above.

I don't know if ND is better without him, but the injury does force ND to play more athletic guys like Ausberry, Sneed and Faraimo. Like I said, Bowen just hasn't looked the same as he did the past 2 years.

Maybe part of that is Ash's game plan and play calling, but if that's remedied, then ND may end up better for it overall.

This guy for Miami nails what I said above:



If they weren’t already hammering home during the bye how to beat a mug look easily, Petrino provided it. These Miami backers cannot move. Just an easy slip route against the Miami backer. Later they just ran a toss play. It’s same concept, all these scary standing players have no leverage quick to the outside

The following is what Carr is very good at already:

This guy did a 20 minute video called Student of the Game that is worth watching for anyone interested in some of the tendencies that Petrino and Billy B took advantage of against us last night.

Denbrock will ignore that. And go with his own brilliant game plan of fade routes to the best corner.

With Brewu out and struggling the last few weeks maybe they throw Young inside a few plays. Get your best lash rushers on the field? Young, Dunham and Boubcar with idk maybe Gray some plays

We have one great Lb, KVA and he’s been hurt.

Ausberry doesn’t do anything, he’s small and zero havoc, he’s just assignment sound. Sneed is great if you use him right. Bowen is a sure tackler but not athletic.

He isnt a sure tackler when hes refusing to attack gaps with speed and violence and lets the plays come to him. He did have 7 tackles prior to getting hurt which was "impressive" but the guy we saw last year blowing guys up has not happened often if at all that I can recall.

Coaches have a fascination with him that I don't get. Against A&M, a timeout was called with Bowen in on the 4th down play. That was the perfect time after getting your first look to get him off the field and through KVA in. KVA watched Nate Boerkircher catch a pass over Bowen for the win. He is atrocious in coverage because he never gets depth or look for work. With Toney going into the middle of the field and in hook zones he would have had a field day anywhere near Bowen.

Early forecast calls for a high of 50, so it should be in the 40’s by game time. Not as cold as I would prefer but should give Miami a little shock

ISD post game pod, don’t expect Tae Johnson to play against Miami

not surprised. We haven’t heard anything that would indicate he’s progressed towards a return.
