Splash plays will be critical - don’t think we can drive consistently for 70 & 80 yard drives
With new o-line and atmosphere we need at least 2-3 splash plays to win this game. RBs need to show up big with speed. I like the screen game tonight and Riley with some keepers. I hope I am wrong but I am not expecting a lot from WRs.

We have Dudes at WR and TE. Get the ball out quick +
Get them in space

^^This. O Line doesn't need to be perfect, they just need...
...to not miss assignments (too much), and Denbrock can scheme around it if they lose, but "slow". Ie, Scourton beats you, but you slow him down by 2 seconds. Riley can get the ball out pretty quickly (or tuck and run). I do hope they can at least SOMEtimes make some running lanes, or things could get more difficult on O.

Yep, I’m expecting the o line to figure things out but ND has 5 good WR
