So would Tim Tebow be. Or anybody else who is a glorified HB. As long as the Tressel influence is there, we'll always be a ground & pound keep it close style team. No matter who the QB is. There's no imagination or innovation going on here.

Question for everyone about our defense for this week/ IMO stopping this team appears more - THEISMANCARR - 6:37pm 9/9/25 (31) [View All]
- 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] - irishslovak - 8:57am 9/10/25
  - Don't know but several beat reporters claim that their oline is better than Miami's [NT] - NDQuebec - 1:10pm 9/10/25
    - Was at the Miami game. 'Cons had 3 times as many "NFL bodies". You could see it during warm ups. [NT] - irishslovak - 2:21pm 9/10/25
      - Watching on TV I thought our D players looked like they had length but lacked bulk. [NT] - ghostwriter - 6:56pm 9/10/25
        Have not seen our D line handled like that since the 'Bama NC game. [NT] - irishslovak - 10:14pm 9/10/25
- 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
  - Our zone sucked. Guys played slow. [NT] - faircatchcorby - 11:27am 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
    - Exactly. Have to get in the backfield and create havoc, - Clem - 5:15am 9/10/25
      - Have you seen how fast that QB is? Don't admire him, find a way to best defend him. The runner - THEISMANCARR - 9:06am 9/10/25
        I hear ya, guys need to be disciplined about keeping contain and staying - Clem - 1:59pm 9/10/25
        I'm hoping it's a "What me worried" Alfred E. Newman moment. [NT] - THEISMANCARR - 2:15pm 9/10/25
- Man coverage, speed and KVA in as much as possible. - LanceManion - 6:58pm 9/9/25
  - And hoping Bryce Young will play to his potential [NT] - NDQuebec - 1:12pm 9/10/25
    - 100% - he needs to show up big time [NT] - LanceManion - 4:46pm 9/10/25
