Midwestern school with a beat your brains out running game, agressive defense and a good but not elite quarterback. A lot of people hate Harbough but he turned Stanford into a physical team. Next years Notre Dame team should be better than this years. Leonard is a better fit than Hartman and even with a lot of new guys on the O-line having a mobile QB helps. All the running backs have a year under their belt and Young is a stud. Last year a lot of unproven WR's had to play early. Thomas & Greathouse are really good possession players. Faison is a difference maker. Tyree was fast but not as quick. Faison can catch a ten yarder and split the seam. Golden has proven himself as a DC. He makes good players better by all the different looks he gives an offense. Freeman is in year three. The fiasco against OSU and the rotating O-lineman against Louisville should be chalked up to inexperience. He'll still make mistakes but all coaches do. Hartman and the freshman WR's brought in a lot of hype. This team has most of the pieces in place.
