Same, there was a little hype early when ND was letting them hang around, but they were very quick to go away in the 3rd quarter when we started to control the game. I expect the same thing; weather the storm in the first 15-30 minutes, then start grinding them down.
It was warranted, he was out of shape/overweight and made an mistake on a simple play. It was clear he wasn't ready for the moment, but he dedicated himself, and was extremely ready for the 2020 season.
This and book scared to throw the ball downfield to a once dominant claypool
How the hell do you guys remember random details like this and are able to call out what year it happened in 4 years later. Props to you...
Tae Johnson.
It was memorably bad.
I thought it was said tar Johnson is joining his teammates as they visit Louisville but is set on nd
He should try to flip their safety coach to ND.
O’Leary has ND Safties ranked #1 nationally efficiency.
Stop spitting facts. People can’t handle the truth! Lol always need a scape goat and someone to blame. Out of the whole coaching staff it’s O’Leary sadly.
It’s the corners(hart and Morrison) allowing our safeties to play free and help… safeties and nickel are playing ok but could easily and should be better, they’ve had such easy opportunities for big plays and really only watts has capitalized
I don't know where you have gotten that from.
Watts is a good football player, but also a converted WR. Brown is a three-star veteran playing to the best of his ability. Henderson is what he is, a mid, replacement-level second-stringer. Carter has barely played. And our future NFL corners and heavy use of nickel packages help protect all of them.
First time I agree with you. At least the first paragraph. I don't think our safety talent is "very very low"
Brohm said we have one absolute shut down corner… curious if he meant hart or Morrison… Morrison has given up more receptions than hart this year
Mike Mickens is also an animal. His ability to identify talent and coach it up is impressive. Mickey and Christian Gray will be next. Mickey is just a year behind schedule because of whats in front of him. He would start or play very very meaningful minutes this year for a lot of P5 teams as a sophomore.
I want to believe that with Mickey but haven’t seen him make a play yet that wasn’t close to Los
Facts! Think of how often you hear Hart's name....Just about as much as you do on this board...Number one sign of a shut down corner...You don't hear much about him because they rarely attack him. He's been playing lights out!
Morrison just flat out won’t tackle right now too… they’re playing great, but can improve
It feels like we’ve seen enough of Mickey to have a decent assessment of him and I’m with you, I just don’t see anything special.
I see ability but right now he seems to be all bark no bite… he probably talks the most on the team
I’m not concerned about resting our backs, since we routinely use five of them. But after watching some tape of the L’ville/NC St game a downfield passing game is the way to go vs these guys. They are very much a attacking pressure defense with the LBs right at the LOS and the CBs in press coverage.
If people haven't seen them, their front 7 is going to be way better than expected IMO.
