I agree that D backs can’t cover forever when the QB has all day to throw. Some of the A&M receivers were running literally wide open. That’s also coaching or scheme or miscommunication because nobody should be wide open with no ND defender within 5-10 yards plus. Very disappointing start to the season that’s for sure. There is no margin of error now. They must run the table for any chance to make the playoffs. I really thought after last year the program would be a legit Top 5 team. I was wrong about that. I think the 0-2 start is really all on the coaches as there is very good talent on the roster. Last week while still no QB pressure from the ND defense, the offensive game plan was just horrible and I feel the main reason ND lost. This week, the defense was absolutely horrible.
