Great win - wire to wire domination - NIU hopefully was an unfortunate aberration
Purdue - horrible in every aspect of the game and no adjustments - hard to believe Card played at TX
CBS coverage, although announcers aren’t pro-ND - head and shoulders above NBC, does NBC own a high def camera?
Love - best player on the field - good to see someone realized that, Price is solid but not at that level - Love has physical attributes combined with patience and great game vision
QB - RL is a game manager, is a runner and scrambler first and a passer (under 20 yards) second if at all, watch the drive for TD before half - guy missed two easy open TD throws - stack the box and make him throw (112 pass, 100 run), he’ll get hurt at some point given the running
SA is the anti-Leonard pass first, throws a good ball (eg great toss to Jayden Harris), seems to progress better through reads, somewhat mobile but can’t rely on him running a lot, needs to throw ball away rather than take sack, faster Ds will pose a problem for him
Pass O - Evans and Raridon could make a potent combination, other TE contributed as well - still looking for the receiver threat it seems but will be difficult o/s possession given RL arm strength and tendency to pull the ball and run rather than move through progressions
OL - Injuries could be our undoing, but played well especially given injuries
Def - Traore could be special; D showed up and out played PU, hopefully Bothelo is ok, still concerned about our DL - LB and secondary are solid future seems bright here
ST - Australian punters are over rated, but that’s kicker seems like he is legit
Denbrock pretty clearly decided he needed to be more “hands on”
