This is good. While we're busy slamming the door behind Greg and comparing him to Hall ball, if Folsten goes down Zaire better be be more accurate than Clausen at his best.

I am assuming this means they are a bit bruised up or something along with Alize. Top two TE's missing reps early, hopefully not long. We have such limited game experience there as it is, they need all the reps we can get them.

FWIW, I feel really good about this team. I think this team has the potential to be very good but very few of these guys have contributed on a very successful college football team. Do I think they will? YES! But again, I would like to look back at a 10 win regular season and be happy with it. What we seem to building towards is NCG or bust and I just don't agree with that.

10 wins is a must for me. I think recruiting will be very difficult if there is another 8 or 9 win season this year.

Timing pattern and passes down close have been a problem for most every Kelly ND QB. People lament the lack of a run game but Kelly's QBs have done well between the two's but despite the height of Kelly's receiver's over the year, WRs and TEs , we've failed to capitalize there. GO ZAIRE!

I have a feeling that this redzone offense could put up some scary good numbers based on Zaire alone. Inside the 10 its going to be awfully difficult to stop him.

Congratulations Josh! It is awesome to see when hard work pays off, and an individual is recognized.

It is also awesome to see the reaction of the team to the news. I noticed that Joe Schmidt was the first one to jump out of his seat, and looked to be genuinely excited for Josh. This type of thing is what keeps me tuned in to college football, the passion and camaraderie is so awesome to see.

Something the '12 team wasn't potent at. But with one QB I'd like to see his runs rare, and throw the ball to the 6-6 wide bodies in the corner.

I guess I meant more that teams are going to have to account for him. Meaning there will always have to be a hat in the box solely for Zaire. I'm not sure that was ever the case with Golson. With that said, ultimately I'd like to Zaire have as little wear on him as possible so I agree with the above.
