Run game

Start the game with Walton and James running the rock. No need to sputter in the first half and then commit to it in the second half. We know Miami’s secondary is not great, but Denbrock can shorten the game and rest the D by committing to the run game. Can he be patient?

Ash is trash and has not won a big game while at ND, and SC 2025 was not a big game. Freeman should be all over the scheme this week and not let him run what he wants if he disagrees with it. You don’t have a Navy luxury to fix anything at the half. BYU proved that.

Also, why is the slowest running back returning kickoffs with all that young speed on the roster?
