We run our offense beautifully, defend with great energy, and play with enthusiasm and teamwork. That's why I find ND teams fun to watch.
But, we obviously are a small team and are vulnerable on the boards, where we got absolutely murdered last night. Colson does the best he can, but is undersized for his position, and when he is kept off the glass we are in trouble. We had two (2) offensive rebounds last night.
I would be very surprised if we don't see this repeated as the season goes on and other teams start to pick up the pace...which the best teams do as the season progresses. For us, there isn't much you can do about a lack of size.
So while you were undoubtedly correct, i don't really think it was a very fancy prediction.
