We had the best defense in the CFP this year, but we didn’t even make the finals. The rules favor the offense, and specifically the passing game.
Freeman is a great addition. But ND needs to do the same thing on the offensive side of the ball at skill positions.
We had the D, we had the OL, and we had the TE”s and RB. But we didn’t have the WR or the QB.
Who will ND hire to get the offensive recruits necessary, or how will the present staff change itself to mirror what has happened with the defensive recruiting?
Freeman’s work will ensure ND will have good teams, maybe even CFP teams, but the offensive equivalent is necessary to take the step to the top.
