Poll: Notre Dame success 2015 vs 2016

[IrishBlooded]

Will ND have a better win / loss total, and high final ranking than 2015.

ND finished 10-3 (including the bowl) and a final ranking of #11th.

As of now I think about the same. 2 area's that will need to be fixed for any improvement will be; 1) defensive scheme and 2) RZ offense.

About the same.

I'll believe the defensive improvement when I see it on the field!

Before Holtz got the boot he built championship teams by recruiting the big uglies on the O and D lines. The O-line guys were human road graders that could move the pile and had no problems in the RZ. Behind them were backs that punished would be tacklers. Take a look at who's doing that now days:

Saban
Meyer
Swinney
Fisher

and a few others that are coming on with more power than option.

If they avoid the injuries of last year they make the playoff.
