I just got done watching the film for a second time and yea, I think I am done throwing up....hold on.............ok now I am done!

Pat Kuntz- played well up front, needs a quality back up to give him a blow..he wore down late

Trevor Laws- same as above- bright spots for us on D

A. Vernaglia- was running to the ball, making plays, he might make a name this year for himself

Spread offense actually could have worked- breaking down some film the Irish had running lanes when they were in the spread. Armando had some cut back lanes that he will soon see, Jones needs to make a quicker read on his zone plays.. but all and all, Charlies Game Plan that I doubted after watching the game the first time, could have worked. VERY LITTLE EXECUTION made it look bad..... like it always does! After watching the blocking schemes up front, I think our guys are physical enough, maybe just a little confused 199% of the time. I mean come on, you go to Notre Dame, figure this out..you have a physics lab practical on tuesday!

I not so sure on Kuntz, where was he on the Direct snaps to Choice..The positives I saw where the speed is improving, no big pass plays, and we didn't get shutout

Most of those went to the outside, right? I think that containment is the LBs' job ...

I thought that another positive was D. Walls. Besides that one missed tackle which was not a very easy one to make I thought that he looked good in coverage, and he had some tackles.

I agree Walls looked good...now if we can just get Lambert out of there we should be good! McNeil or Gray have to be a better option imo!

Gray is injured and out for the season.

On the direct snaps, Pat Kuntz was getting a double team by a center and guard on that play..and he clogged up the middle....aka did his job.... the LMLB and LOLB did not flow to the ball correctly...the free safety needs to run the alley for pursuit

agree, I thought the same thing. When he lined up I started saying, ok, lb's, you know whats coming... and sure enough the got caught up in lineman coming down to the second level. KEEP THE LINEMAN OFF OUR LB'S!!!!!!
