in the playoffs, I saw a video with Tim Brown and some other guys where he said once Bama took away our TE's on offense, ND didn't know what to do. The run game has always baffled me for years. Our guys once in a blue moon get lucky and bust one for a TD, but think about how many run plays go for zero to two yards or the RB is getting hit as soon as he gets the handoff. I can see that happening occasionally as defenses will guess and get lucky once in while, but this happens frequently with ND run game. I've always been impressed with teams in which their identity is the run game and other teams can't stop it even though they know it's coming. I still feel ND's offensive woes is scheme and questionable play calling.
