Listening to the Notre Dame football talk show on WSBT radio this afternoon, the two hosts spent at least a half hour discussing the problems with the Irish defense. Everything from Joe Schmidt to Max Redfield to KeiVarae Russell to bad tackling to blown assignments to giving up the big play. Mixed in the conversation were BKs thoughts on those subjects. The numbers on our defense don't lie. This defense has very good athletes but for some reason they are not jelling as a unit. This won't fly if they want to make a serious play-off run. BVG and his kids have Temple, Pitt, WF, and BC to hammer out a play-off worthy defense. Four teams who do not possess prolific offenses. So, with the Temple offense not exactly geared for TDs, our defensive unit should start to find their way back to pre-season expectations by playing a 60 minute game against the owls. I love the latest installment of the Showtime series(USC episode) where BK tells KR that if he doesn't start turning back on the ball, he is going to sit. The cause and affect of BKs message was a much better second half for KR. They all have it in them. Now, just do it.
