Michael Fredrick Denbrock Hired as Offensive Coordinator (2023)

[DONTH8]

This is one of my favorite moments of Coach. Even with the game still hanging in the balance, he’s out there smiling and laughing as Fields tells him to throw the fade again. That just fires me up. He seems like the kind of coach I’d love to play for, someone who genuinely enjoys the game and being around his players

I've thought about that and yeah that is great. But then do it on 3rd and 1 at midfield. Not on 4th and goal when the game is just getting started and you're trying to set the tone.

Loves read was terrible. He could have walked in around the left end.

No, watch Freemans PC from yesterday. This one is on Denbrock/Freeman, mainly denbrock.

Love's main issue at RB is he kicks it outside too fast and doesn't wait for the play to develop.

In Freemans PC he stated they believe they had a fit vs what boise does and the play would hit it right where love tried to, but boise did something different and there were a lot of people there. I guarantee love was preached to, to wait and hit that gap.

My issue is it's 4th and 1 at the goal line, why the F are you running a play vs boise that you need them to do something specific to make it work? In that situation it can't be that boise can easily defend a 4th and 1 at the goal line play. Freeman eluded to the fact they need to design a play in that situation that still works even if boise doesn't do what they expect them to.

Denbrock was trying to play chess when checkers was only needed. It was 3rd inches and he went to the wildcat first that cuased billy to false start, instead of again, checkers. QB sneak under center. Not having riley, denbrock is playing way too much chess in short yardage situations.

Notre Dame has the second best offense in America at avoiding third down. They're at 66%.

Vanderbilt is at 69%.

Notable that SC and Arkansas are both tied at......66%

Never forget what they took from us

Yep. We have a big strong OL and great RBs. Just line up and take the fucking yard.

- Our best EPA/Play has been Raridon
- Carr clearly better against Zone
- Outside Zone >>> Inside Gap Runs
- ND still seeing 7+ man boxes a good bit above average

They need to let Love do what he does. It was a walk in TD if he bumps it outside. He ran into a hole with three guys there.

Its going to be part of some trick play.

Where are you seeing these stats or are you breaking it down yourself?

Two obvious variations to the sprint out short yardage throw I would love to see:

- Throwback TE Leak
- Sprint Draw

Love the sprint draw.

I’d love to see Fast Flats

I’d love to see Fast Flats

How about Rascal Flats?

Seriously, there is [still] often a crowd of defenders around the rb when he hits the line. I think even these medium strength defenses can read the play.

We unironically may want to consider Gator Bowl MVP and National Champion Tyler Buchner for a short yardage package.

Spicy take. He’s scoring a TD Saturday

This has been suggested on at least one of the recent ND podcasts, especially out of the wildcat.

What's the point of putting in a running QB if we're going to snap the ball to a rb?

I am willing to bet Denbrock has saved some stuff for this game alone.

I think Denbrock will get points by calling his normal game. I want to see full mad scientist Biagi though.

 

[tko]

I hope Denbrock and Freeman had a talk.

 

[Irishnuke]

What I'd like to see on Saturday is being able to score inside the 10.
