always has the advantage in running one on one especially in the open field because he knows where he is going. It is similar to a player breaking down another player one on one, in basketball only more. That QB can get an extra ten yards even if he gets tackled by the defender. This is why the dual threat QB is such an advantage and makes more key plays than a pure thrower. This type QB makes the most frustration for the defense. You think you have him then you don't. The pros are finally figuring this out. The best QBs beat you both ways but the killer plays are don with the feet, the passers are prettier but heartbreakers beat you more.
Leonard was great for us and Denbrock last year. I do agree Carr can lead us to victory but in the more traditional way and I do think he was a better choice than Minchey. If our oline protects though, Carr can get us a lot of points.

- Probably run man under zone. It doesn't seem like their inability - DiscoRick - 12:17pm 9/11/25

- Denbrock isn't figuring anything out. His stuff is his stuff, is his stuff, etc,..... - Clem - 8:25am 9/11/25
- Jayden Daniels and their WR corp made denbrock look like a genius - ndphysics - 11:30am 9/11/25
- I dunno, seems he pretty ingeniously figured out how to neuter our run game while simultaneously - DiscoRick - 12:11pm 9/11/25
- Fully agree. Maybe Riley was the right fit for our preferred offense. If freeman wants - ndphysics - 12:56pm 9/11/25
- ND won a lot of games big last year, and dominated pretty well in the first two playoff - THEISMANCARR - 11:25pm 9/11/25
- I don’t think many of us expect our QB to be a running back. I think we envision - ndphysics - 4:37pm 9/12/25

- Hope that A&M isn't loaded with huge NFL O linemen like Miami!!! [NT]

- Keep a fast LB as a spy on the QB. Don’t let his legs beat us. Make him throw into coverage [NT]
- ndphysics - 7:58pm 9/9/25
- With the speed ND has at LB they shouldn't have to use a spy. [NT] - Clem - 5:20am 9/10/25
- I have thought about the spy but the downside is that it creates 10 one on one situations. We have - THEISMANCARR - 12:03am 9/10/25
- Zone + keep the QB in front of us [NT]
- KWIRISH - 7:33pm 9/9/25
- Guraranteed loss. See Miami game. No pass rush and zone defense = QBs dream. [NT]
- oldirish - 1:16pm 9/10/25
- Zone + blitz OR man + blitz mix it up [NT] - KWIRISH - 11:27pm 9/11/25
- Exactly. Given time, even great corners lose a step on a good receiver. Get the qb [NT] - murph78 - 6:27pm 9/10/25

- Didn't ND do that against Miami??? Allowed Beck to look like Tom Brady [NT]
- NEPA Irish - 9:10pm 9/9/25
