Name one thing from the offensive side and

[Fifthhorseman25]

one thing from the defensive side you want to see Sunday night from the Irish. ( I know people can list more than 2, but try to keep it to 2).

1. Offense = better efficiency in the red zone

2. Defense = front 4 able to get pressure on the QB without blitzing

 

[perseverare]

1. points
2. no points

 

[NDismylife21]

Offense: Ability to stretch the field vertically
Defense: Competitive safety play. At the very least, no wide open 30+ yd. completions.

 

[Irishjohn68]

Offense, 200+ yards rushing.

Defense, get off the field on 3rd downs.

 

[Bodizephax]

1. Running for 300 plus yards on offense.

2. Six plus sacks on defense.

 

[BGI User 1596]

1. Running a play without checking the sideline 15 times.

2. Players not getting hurt during a celebration of a mediocre play.

 

[perseverare]

can't wait for the thread about, 'what will 1st play offensive play' ?
timeout? delay of game? offsides?
my guess MZ starts: QB draw
if DK: swing out to the slot guy, 2 yards behind the line.

 

[greengael]

Offense , score more points than Texas. Defense allow fewer points than Texas. I'm a very simple man.

 

[Java65]

On offense I'd like to see a continued commitment to the running game.

On defense I'd like to see all 11 players comprehend their assignments. Last 2 years it seemed only about 1/2 the players on defense knew what their job was on any given play.

 

[nook91]

offense: 1 (or fewer) turnovers

deffense: get off the field on third down

 

[wfeldmann]

Offense: MZ and DK working in rhythm to keep Texas off balance

Defense: Keep Texas offense in 3rd and long situations.

 

[perseverare]

whatever happened to the guy that used to do the mid week scouting report and game analysis.

And where is Zorich's pre game pump you up !

 

[tkirish]

1) offense: if they get inside the 5 , run it in for the score. No razzle dazzle. Line up and blow them off the ball.

2) defense: control the line of scrimmage. don't let Texas run the ball.

Do those 2 things and the Irish will win.
