I take back everything I said after week 1

 

[Dale]

Denbrock coached a Heisman winner with a bottom feeder defense only 2 years ago. He knows how to shift in gear

 

[T-Boone]

this is the best OC and QB we have had in forever. All around the offense looks excellent. Can't believe it looked clogged up in week 1.

This is only the beginning.
We still have a a few more years with them together!
Just wait until the talent in the wr room they've brought in the last two years start getting playing time.

We're so good when we dont bubble screen.

 

[Irishnuke]

Yikes. Don’t do that shit

 

[irishff1014]

Well things changed at half time. Wow

 

[KMac151993]

If we score less than 40 points in any remaining game something is wrong...elite offense.

ND is up to 4th in SP+ for offense

Denbrock when told to get Price and Love some more td’s

Weekly analytics chart don’t yell at me post

 

[irishff1014]

He has really made this offense so much better. I just don’t like when he tries to get cute. It kills the momentum and just looks like a negative play waiting to happen.

Can you explain why this chart can't tell me the secret to a perfect salsa verde?

Time to put the full court press on Dia Bell.

Denbrock with Daniels, Leonard and Carr
Vs
Sarkisian with Ewers and Arch.

Tweak the Wildcat thing or get rid of of it all together. That's really my only gripe.

Apart from that, as fans we're lucky to have Denbrock in the program. Very simple.

I'm waiting for the wildcat version with Love and Price in the backfield at the same time, with a play-action lob to a TE to create some hesitancy.

I'm waiting for the wildcat version with Love and Price in the backfield at the same time, with a play-action lob to a TE to create some hesitancy.

That is the only scenario when the wildcat makes sense, i.e. you take the QB off the field. Running the QB out wide or just having him as an H back that doesn't block is so stupid. You're playing 10 vs. 11 in short yardage.

I would prefer just leaving your stud QB in the game so you can threaten to use the whole field, with pass or run, but what do I know.

Which makes a lot of sense in the grand scheme of things.

 

[KMac151993]

I still don't understand why in short yardage without Leonard we don't go under center and then bring in Will Black as a lead blocker to just maul people. Just imagine handing off to Love with Ty Washington and Will Black leading the way.

I am a big fan of continuing to put the wildcat on film and running it into a wall of defenders, because at some point Love is going to hit a pop pass for a big play when they need it the most.

But other than that, when you line up J Love in wildcat, everyone and their moms knows you're running the ball. I would really like to see them line up in 12 or 13 (I am fully aware of the current TE situation), and commit to running power, or running CJ out of a naked boot with the option to throw it or run it to break tendency. That Boise naked boot on Saturday for their TD was PERFECT

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.

You will never catch an argument on this from me. It's pissed me off each time they've ran it. Especially when you get blocking up front in a normal formation that looks like this:

If I don't see the wildcat again it will be too soon. Like KMac said, go under center.

Never forget what they took from us

LOL......Thought I had that pic saved and was going to post it. Thanks

He's 61 now anyone have any guesses how long he gives it a go? I'm guessing he stays at ND and retires. Maybe 4 more seasons?

At 61, there's plenty of gas left in the tank. Just my guess, but when he retires, it won't be because of age, but because the wife says it's time to enjoy the fruits of his labor.
