ProFootballFocus grades the BCS Championship Game

[dudesthisisthebest]

ProFootballFocus usually gives grades and analysis of the NFL. I have a membership there and it has some pretty awesome stuff. They do a full review of the title game in the link. Hopefully they start a college site.

Zeke and Manti really take it on the chin.

For those debating Zeke's performance:

More Tackling Woes

While a lot of the credit has to go to Lacy for making defenders miss, Notre Dame deserves some blame for their awful tackling display. They finished with 19 missed tackles on the day, with safety Zeke Motta leading the way with six. Motta finished at a game-worst -9.0 for the day from his poor tackling, bad angles, and getting beat in coverage. The Irish had chances to stop the running game, as unblocked defenders swarmed the line of scrimmage with clear shots at the running back, but Motta and others were unable to capitalize. In addition, Spond contributed three missed tackles while CB KeiVarae Russell missed three as well. Not a lot went right for Notre Dame, and poor tackling is right at the top of the list of blunders from Monday night.

Looks like McCarron was graded tops for AL, and DaVaris for ND (3.5).

At -9.0 Zeke played the worst out of anyone on the field.

On defense, only Kap and Tuit graded positively. (Although Nix was in the red only because of a penalty).

That sucks.
