which team do we try to be Sat.

[upperdeck]

do we want to be the rushing team wake/UL
do we want to be the passing team clemson/unc/ncst
do we want to be the mix team WMU/wagner/fsu/uconn/pitt

ND has a solid D

Mich/vandy/VT/FSU passed on them
wake/navy ran on them
ball/stan/pitt/NW didnt really do either well

SU on D

WMU/UL did both
wagner/unc/ncst/wake passed
clemson/pitt ran
fsu/uconn neither

ND on Offense

Mich neither
ball st/VT/Pitt/NW passed
vandy/FSU ran
wake/navy/stan both

both teams have had moments where they did much better at one and several where they did both..

ND all they passing games came with Book though.

If we can run the ball at will, successfully, we will win.

I like our chances in a shootout. It’ll be huge if our defense can maintain its energy for 4 quarters and stop the irish’s rush as well. This game should be about who’s able to establish a run game to open up the offense imo.

Now that Moe Neal has got his giddy-up and Howard is running with authority, plus ED, make then commit to stopping the run.
