KVA should start over Bowen. I prefer Ausberry and Faraimo over Bowen as well

KVA might not be 100% at the beginning of the year

So everyone should start in front of ND's leading tackler this season? Smart.

Dude is a liability in pass coverage. See Texas A&M 4th and 11. Should never have been in the game

One play and he sucks? Guess the coaches suck too for continually putting him out there?

You have no clue what you're talking about, just another idiot that thinks you know better than everyone else including the coaches that are with these players every day.

And no, the MLB isn't always the team's leading tackler, just the really good ones.

Get used to another full season of Bowen at MLB, calling the D and leading the team in tackles because he's the best player for the job.

It will be a challenge to replace the production of Love and Price.

Sorry...great team on paper...but "committee proof" doesn't exist now. Even many of the great teams

...have stubbed their toe at some point in a given season.

With weakness of next year's schedule...even a single loss at the wrong time could have the Irish at #9 at end of next year...and the crooked Committee has shown it will drop them at the end purely to favor conferences and their own/ESPN's interests.

Still believe 12-0 is "committee proof" but you don't know that about any team going into a season...and certainly not nearly a year in advance...
