Officially Official ND @ Texas A&M Game Thread

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.
Jadarian should get the bulk 60/40, Love is a great change of pace
 
i knew that ND would use "green oline" as the excuse to wash away all the organizational problems at ND.

this year its oline, last year it was WRs, year before was QB

lol
Point is we’ve had a great oline for the better part of a decade and now that we’re good/great at every other unit, our OL is inexperienced.

With this young O line...the ball has to be moved north and south.....not east and west. Result? Touchdown.
 
Still avoiding answering raukduke I see Cackles

It wasn't really a point worth responding to imo. But since you insist:

How ranked teams have fared going into college station in the past doesn't tell us anything about 2024 texas a&m and 2024 notre dame.

It's called recruiting.

Elite teams recruit TONS of talent all on the same 85 man roster which allows every facet of their program to be great all at once and to ascend to the very top of the sport.

ND recruits 10ish ranked classes that might be really good in some areas but then have major holes in others which is why we haven't had a complete/national championship caliber team in decades
