LSU Ole Miss

OL problems, and yes, a weird/slow start for Leonard. That being said, I could see the ND offense really finding its gear during the 2nd half and becoming potent.

We have a stable of game breaking RBs and then a game breaking runner at QB. When those things are "on", the O can be really dangerous/potent. I'm hoping that the bye did wonders for several reasons:

1. Health
2. Continuity
3. OL stability
4. The staff "settles in" with who we are and what really works.

When the O has absolutely had to score and respond this year, it has. Aside from NIU.

I'm hoping that the O improves and really becomes a dangerous unit until these next 7 games.

We should be able to overwhelm everyone left on the schedule.

OL has to stay health. Maybe Jagusah gets back at some point too?

No question ND is in at 11-1.

10-2? Very doubtful.

That's great. I agree, but then what? Do you believe Riley Leonard and the offense are capable of taking this team deep into the playoffs? The Defense is, but the lack of a vertical passing game will result in an early first round exit.
Not with the depleted roster. A playoff berth is just a national bad game.
