Keys to Victory

[The Polish Irishman]

Opinions are like well you know, everybody has one. These are my keys to victory.

-Special Teams (Good Coverage, long fields for them and short fields for us)

-Win the battle along the offense line (Tech has experience here and our new guys must push them around and wear them down)

-Control and Stop Wheeler (This man is a walking brick wall and will be all over the field, would be nice not to hear his name called very often)

-Stop Choice under 100 yards

-Win the turnover battle

I could go on and on, but I believe these are the most important phases of the game to lead ND to VICTORY!

Line of scrimmage and turnovers. The one thing that I keep dreading is new QB ints.

Me too. I think we'll be alright though. Low scoring game. I think we come up big on special teams. Irish win a close one.

Special Teams and Oline/Dline play. If we play well at those....we win.

THe last (turnovers) is the key to me, obvious I know but with a new QB agianst that rush... it's the one I am worried about the most... if we protect the ball with a young offense... we win easy

By the way, I live in Atlanta, everybody down here in ATL seems pretty confident that Tech will beat ND, Buck Belue(former UGA QB, well not really, he just handed the ball off the H. Walker in the 80s) is not giving ND a chance. Feels like 05 all over again

Secondary play, establish the running game. If we prevent the big play through the air, we give our linebackers and front line a better chance to bring down bennett and it makes them one dimensional.
On our side, we need to make sure we get Thomas, Allen and Tate going. Limit the chance for mistakes from DD and let the running game do this for us.

Maybe it's just me but I'm worried sick about the Offense turning over the ball and not a BIT worried about the Defnese giving up points...

what a difference an offseason makes huh boys??

I think it comes down to NDs running game plan and simple. If we are able to run the ball it will open up the passing game and everything will be fine. If we have to pass to open up the running then I think we will be in trouble

I think that we're all dreading that......

Defensive line and special teams are the keys, IMO.
