And attacked, granted there were times of over pursuit/lost containment of the FSU QB who then burnt ND a few times with his legs. However, the game was the first time we saw a ND D line that attacked like that and it was like watching a Bama, Georgia, or LSU defense front 4. This year with Golden, it seemed like our D lineman were playing patty cake with the O lineman rather than bust through or shed the block. Not sure if that is by design or what, just an observation. Though Golden is the D Coordinator, you would think the D scheme is still Freeman’s but could be wrong. Going into the season, the D line was supposed to be a strength but my point is that they didn’t seem to dominate the way you would have expected. They obviously weren’t horrible or anything, but again, thought we would see more domination unless what they did was more by design/scheme.
