Todd Lyght: great player at ND-great player in the NFL-great guy; however, terrible recruiter!
Unfortunately, his legacy has left us woefully short in our defensive backfield.
It is our Achilles Heel.
The other three CFP teams have elite QBs and receivers.
We would like our corners to play man-to-man, but we can't afford it. Witness Shawn Crawford getting abused in the Clemson game.
We have to keep the receivers in front of us with a zone; however, they will find holes in the zone, but that's about the best we can do.
