The way to protect this QB is to make him a complement, not key. He's a trailer, not the truck. It's like Ben Roethlisberger in the 2004 season. And in that season, Big Ben's role was easier because, when Pittsburgh established a lead, they could lean on a great run game and defense; they won only one game that they were losing at half. And that's who the 2025 Irish are. We have to be a start early after a pick/fumble/sack and then use our big hogmollies to lean on them. So essentially...my hope is the anti-2017 game.
We need to make this simple for the freshman.
