Hate Airbnb, the fees are just stupid these days
Yeah, you really have to get a big group to make them affordable. They've gotten a little big for their britches, I agree.Hate Airbnb, the fees are just stupid these days
QB Advantage, RB advantage, and OL advantage. Our RB room will be top 3 deepest in the country we will have 5 guys who could start for most of the teams in the countrySomething I’ve been thinking about heading into 2023:
For the first time in awhile, Notre Dame will have the advantage at the QB position in every game except USC (F Williams but he’s elite).
Also, ND may have the QB advantage vs. the rest of college football in general. Alabama, Ohio St, Georgia are all replacing very successful QBs. This will make things very interesting for the playoff race next year.
Lol if you call people like you on message boards “analysts”. You are awful.Interesting seeing the online analysis.
On one hand you have analysts that think Hartmann coming to ND puts ND squarely in the CFP conversation. They project that Tommy Rees will now open up the offense. That Rees will do a 100% about face on this run / TE oriented offense and go and spread out the ball with lots of down field targeting. That Hartman is one of the elite QBs in all of College Football. Quick release and sense of using his progressions.
On the other hand, other analysts see this as a bad fit. That Rees won't open up the offense. That Hartmann will have to go under center - something he is not used to doing. That Rees will not open up for down field targeting. That Hartmann is wasting this year in an offense not designed for him. That the ceiling is NY6 bowl - if that. In terms of Hartman, those 41 INTs show poor decision making. Something Rees and Freeman may not tolerate. He may lose out to Buchner.
While I think the second scenario is very pessimistic, I do wonder how much Rees is willing to adapt his conservative style of play for a proven, big-time passer.

Yes and he was hindered with Pyne because 90 percent of the time he only looked at his first option then either threw it away or ranIf you think Rees won’t pass down field, I question if you’ve actually watched a single game or presser from the last few years
The offense has been basically bursting at its seams at times with his desire to take more shots.
I agree for the most part but ND was on the road, without Cam Hart, and if Drew Pyne doesn't fumble the RB exchange on the opening drive in the second half (a drive that was looking promising, as well) that whole game is different. Not making excuses for the L, but just saying that having the game in South Bend, under the lights and hopefully cold weather makes what was a pretty even game on the surface look better for our guys. Now you add a huge upgrade at QB with Hartman compared to Pyne?Something I’ve been thinking about heading into 2023:

Plus there might be some revenge to consider with the antics from Caleb Williams. Dude is a baller but he needs a big ol' slice of humble pie, and it would be nice if the Irish fed it to him. I'm not scared of USC in 2023, I'm expecting a helluva fight.
I used one of the local ND-specific rentals. We had five of us and they got us a house walking distance from campus w/o all the fees. Sadly, this was for the COVID year so I had to cancel but the owner was awesome and refunded everything.Hop on AirBnb if you can get a decent sized group. I've had a lot of success booking a house with 10-15 people and it knocks the price down to less than $100/night and way more comfortable than a hotel.
Otherwise, yeah I've had to find places 45-60mins outside of South Bend to make it more affordable but it isn't ideal. The hotels are a nightmare around Michiana in the fall.
Yeah, from what I gather Freeman and Rees have a good working relationship, but it's been said that Freeman leans towards running the ball and Rees wants to adapt to a stronger passing game like we've seen from Alabama the last several years.If you think Rees won’t pass down field, I question if you’ve actually watched a single game or presser from the last few years

UGA wants to leave our guys on an island and Sam will make them pay.I guess it depends who you play, a team like Georgia you aren't gonna run on neither Bama, only shot you have of winning is air raiding

2015 offensive game plan minus Will Fuller.Rasputin does not expect Rees to go with an air raid style offense in 2023. Adding Hartman will benefit an already excellent running game. There was 0 respect for ND's deep pass threat in 2022. That won't be the case in 2023. Stack the box to stop the run and Hartman will beat you deep. Take away the deep threat and NDs running game will gash you. Rees is going to have some fun with his new toy.
BVG lolI miss Fuller catching deep bombs.
