And play dink dunk on the offensive side like they did with Leonard, presuming the QB was incapabl of anything more.

The coaches gave up an entire half of offensive football to Miami trying to figure out what ND could do. Instead of trying to implement a competent plan to get the run game going.

If they didnt think they could trust the QB, then get a portal QB for two games. You don't go into a game against a top 10 opponent thinking let's try to keep it close.
