Sampson has indicated that ND expects Gray, Scrauth, Burham, Flanagan and Rubio to all be available vs Stanford.
Good thing the NCAA changed the rule so he doesn't burn it in our 4 playoff games. 😎
I would expect Gray and Burnham.
No help on that. How’s everything in your world? I’m not far from there and I looks like a war zone. Terrible.
Total war zone. My sister is in Hendersonville and I’ve spent the past 3 days cutting trees off her house. My parents are in Bat Cave inwhich the city is gone. They are stuck in their cabin with all access roads totally destroyed and won’t be fully repaired for 6 months. We are trying to get them air lifted out. Very very sad times. 2 other small towns in that same area were also totally wiped off the map. A dam breached and just wiped out everything. Asheville the biggest city in the area turned off its water and they are saying it won’t be back on for a month. Very depressing times for one of the most beautiful parts of America. Was looking to watch a replay to take my mind off things before I head back to help out and drop off supplies in a couple of days.
Its a beautiful area for sure, wish you, your family and friends all the best during the recovery.
I’m glad they are all safe. I’m 3 hours away and have visited that area a lot. Unbelievable what happened.
He's completing 74% of his passes with over 1200 yards and only one pick, plus he has the ability to run.
Hope he’s right but like you said, ND being overly optimistic on injury reports has me thinking Schrauth & Rubio won’t be back for an additional week or two.
Best of luck to you and your family.
Save them for GT. Surely, the rest of the team can handle Stanford at home without them playing.
Go back a couple pages in this thread and they have two videos posted that show all our offensive plays and all Louisville offensive plays. Game was on Peacock for the semi annual shakedown so might be hard to find a replay.
Ah didn’t realize it was Peacock only game so I wouldn’t have watched it any way. I won’t give in to the shake down.🤣
This offense IMO should be built around the RPO with the passing option being mainly deep balls. We should be running the Saquon/McSorley Penn State offense. The only way we’re going to get safeties away from the line of scrimmage is deep shots to Collins/Mitchell
With our offensive limitations, and they’re all over, the offensive game plan needs to be more dynamic. We look so lethargic at time. Play with a sense of urgency and incorporate some no huddle or hurry up tempo, mix in play actions, mix in screens, run some under center, and then work out of the pistol … keep defenses guessing and on their heels. We’re so … boring and predictable.
I zcept for Miami game of course, oh and the Texas a&m game where we dominated the 4th qtr for the win on the road. i guess technically we did against purdue after scoring like half a hundred in the first half. I mean being right 1 game out of 5 could be considered hitting the nail on the head to some i guess.
Your tone ... I don't like it. It reminds me of my wife's when I forget to take out the trash...You're right, we definitely outplayed Texas A&M, Miami of Ohio, and Purdue to a degree (with our backups) in the second half. We did not outplay Northern Illinois and Louisville, however.
Thats fair. I do think with a QB that can find and consistently hit open WRs though the trajectory of the team changes. Other than the occasional checkdown we dont use the middle of the field at all. Im also surprised with the constant quick outs and screen passing game that we havent attempted much in the way of double moves or anything of that nature.
They way they are using Leonard is going to physically break him. So the offense is going to change one way or another.
The Navy game's gonna be like six possessions for both teams combined, isn't it?
The best part of his performance was making the 1Q Greathouse pass and the 4Q Love screen while evading pressure on the move. Neither were “wow arm plays” but both were certainly “wow feet plays”. Those are what separates him from a Hartman. If he can improve his consistency and accuracy on short and intermediate throws, our offense will improve immensely
It doesn't even seem like he tries to throw these. Maybe 1 or 2 a game.
