stuffed at the line of scrimmage. For all the ND offensive lineman currently in the NFL starting, you would think ND could run at will against teams or get a solid 4-5 yards per run play. That said, we really haven’t had a true down the field passing threat and I wonder if that contributed to defenses being able to stack the box against ND which has impacted the run game. Think back to the late 90’s Nebraska teams. You knew they were going to run it yet you couldn’t stop it. For all of the great ND offensive lineman in recent years, just don’t understand how we can’t pound it down other teams throats. I know the talent is there so it must be a scheme thing or a lack of commitment to it. It also seems like the running plays take too long to develop.
