Officially Official ND @ Texas A&M Game Thread

Well, defense got a few nice turnovers to blunt any momentum for A&M.

But our offense is not doing too well.
There's no MEAT AND POTATOES RB. Estime is the one who made the O go last year as he could always be counted on for between 4 and 6 yards in ANY situation. Plus, he bruised people and softened up the middle, allowing the rest of the offense to develop around his ball control dominance.

Payne was a loss as he could have done some of that this year. Both Love and Price are burners who need a CREASE or a chance to get OUTSIDE. INSIDE, they need trap blocks as they aren't going to BOWL PEOPLE OVER.

ND needs to get one of the newer, bigger backs involved so as to have some semblance of a POWER RUNNING GAME.

As I see it, it's the MISSING INGREDIENT right now.
 
You are totally overlooking the difference between the O line Book had and this bunch. Dude....wake up.
Not overlooking anything.

Book had WIGGLE, and he would be eluding tackles when the pass plays broke down. He had a very QUICK TRIGGER to run.

I'm not talking about DESIGNED RUNS.

I'm talking about IMPROVISING.

Leonard is a GREYHOUND. Book was a DERVISH.

Notre Dame is asking a transfer quarterback to carry this team on his shoulders and win the game on his own. That isn't going to happen. The rest of the team needs to contribute. Pathetic situation.
