If these things happen in first game vs. Texas I'll be very encouraged:
- Opening offensive series and they don't call a timeout before the first snap
- 60/40 or 70/30 run vs: pass balance
- Tillery and/or Cage blast into the backfield 4-5 times for a sack or TFL
- ND actually regularly snaps the ball with more than 15 sec. on the clock, vs. Zaire having to look at Kelly like a schoolboy who wants permission to go to the bathroom until the clock winds down to 3.
- These guys show up and have an impact (and no coincidence they're all on D)
- Redfield
- Tillery
- J. Jones
- Cage
