New screen pass sets, they are somehow giving it away.

Out physical them. Best way to go. Then u can work off that on offense if the opportunity
Presents itself.
Don’t start pass happy, if that doesn’t work u r screwed.
Make it like a navy game. Control the ball and the clock , limit possessions and play physical, aggressive and sound defense
My formula
Defense
Stop the run
Keep things in front. Limit big plays.
If giving some cushion periodically, you have to tackle.
Tighten up in spots, specifically closer to red zone.
Make them make long drives without mistakes. Find a few negative plays along the way.
Get at least 1 turnover.
Offense
Be patient with the run. Love needs 12+ touches.
QB powers.
More zone read
When safeties are entering the box, you have to take some shots. Especially against their CB who has a PI/Holding issue.
Have to take some chances on 4th down.
Zero turnovers.
If you don’t have to be in a hurry, take your time.
Special Teams
No mistakes
Make every kick.
+1 on positive plays in the return game. Long return, block, pinning them back, etc.

Defense - man coverage, force runs lateral, pressure Howard. Offense - run the ball relentlessly.
If we're a TD or less going into the 4th, we win.
The d line needs to play out of its mind.
They need to get to Howard and stop the run, with little help.
ND needs to take away the deep and intermediate routes, and make OSU string together many passes underneath against our LBers and nickel.
If that happens, ND will be in it.
Deferring to the second half played a huge role vs. GA and PSU
Winning the coin toss and starting the game with a three-and-out would be awesome.

Contain OSU pass rush better than IN, TENN, OR, TX did &Riley has to find receivers down field.

Love as the lead blocker for Leonard was an interesting repeat play. Wondering what that sets up.

I like Lou's list: be more physical, be more fundamental, take care of the ball, be the closest team
and don't flinch.
Man, I had forgotten about the list. "don't flinch" (Holtz) and "fight, just fight." (MF).
