Notre Dame - Stanford Game Thread

[Telx1]

Things I got right and wrong, right first

Junior isn’t good
Oben isn’t good
Young is our best sde
Burnham needs to play vyper
If we throw well we dominate
Mills and cross are better than getting credit
Bowen is slow

Wrong

Faison would play
Evans would take a huge step forward
Morrison would rebound
Love would be clear #1 back (he is but not in coaches minds for some reason)

Nasty, didn’t you also say Burnham wasn’t playing very well in general? He had a strong game playing both SDE and WDE. If we start the two best, we go with Young at SDE and Burnham at WDE. But the two deep gets pretty complicated. Oben has been a huge disappointment at SDE. Jr has his limitations with being position correct and dropping back in coverage, and can’t bring a lot of pressure. I still like Sneed playing more snaps at WDE on obvious passing downs. Thomas hardly played. Damn we miss Botelho and Traore.

USC won’t be a pushover !

They won't be. But they're also just not that great. They're probably a top 25-type of team IMO. They've played 4 close games and lost 3 of them.
