Illusory Truth Effect. For my entire adult life, I've heard MSM tell everyone that ND's schedule is soft (despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary). When you hear that daily on ESPN, etc, you tend to believe it and regurgitate the same tired talking points without giving them a second...

Michigan fan dad on daughter's gymnastics team: "I see ND playing that cake schedule allowed them to actually win some games in September." Me: "How many extra seconds did you need to come up with that lame ass joke?" Him: crickets Me (refusing to back off): "Were you one of the people...

I remember screaming at the TV over that read..."Middle!" Granted, I don't think Gilbert (I presume?) blocked well and the defender jumped inside which caused Williams to break towards the outside. But it was too little, too late and he literally ran over the blocker. Had he just ran towards...

The OL hasn't always done it's job, but its been decent enough for RBs to get chunk plays. There HAS TO be a RB on the roster who has better vision than AW at this point. When I track explosives in the run game, the lack thereof doesn't mean it wasn't there for the taking...

Looking forward to Toney having a Harrison Jr or Makai Lemon line against ND this year. 3-32-0 sounds fun.

Semantics, bro. I get what you're saying in regards to last year, but I'm not looking at just last year. The staff has obviously trusted him since arriving on campus. The usage of Williams in the PSU CFP SEMI-FINAL lead to 2 scoring drives, the second of which tied the game. So you're...

Didn't you ask if he had any meaningful "reps" though? The answer to your question is "yes." He played a decent amount in that PSU game and contributed in the passing game. Also, one of those carries almost went for a TD. Aneyas has proven to be a great receiver and pass blocker as well...

I'd say PSU playoff game was pretty meaningful... The kid can play. Just waiting for that version of him to show up so far this year. He's not Love or Price, but he's not incapable of playing at a high level either. I'm just hoping he gets it going and the explosive plays in the run game...

You keep Cam McDaniel's name out your MF mouth!

I feel seen. I wear a headset during games on my couch. It's connected to nothing, so my screams echo into the abyss of my basement.

I agree with the statement about volume (on the basis of sample size). In prior seasons, we've seen Williams be explosive, so he's definitely capable. In his small sample size, he's averaged over 7 YPC over the last two seasons. How much of that was him vs. the OL vs. mop-up time, etc.? Idk. But...
