Prosise

[nwregionite]

im certain most of the work they've done up till now has focused on turning procise into a runner looking for holes out of the regular offense and getting up field. early returns show the job has been well done thus far. but short yardage is a different animal. its nice to occasionally get through the hole and down field but more important to make the line to gain...and C.J has literally no experience at this.

gonna be a heavy load now that Malik is out too. he seems to be talented in the open field and should do just fine on early downs. but I worry his inexperience may show up in short yardage plays. and i think it may be one reason the Irish struggled it such situations against UVA. really gonna miss having someone like McDaniel back there now. hopefully the team will spend some of there focus this week (whatever time they have beyond preparing Kiser and Wimbush for their new roles) on this problem. Also maybe work on getting the second freshman (not Adams) or someone turned into a short yardage specialist?

Be sure ,opponents will be focusing on Fuller and Prosise .Kelly or the offensive coordinator has to change their approach to short yardage ,0 for 10 in third yard situtuations .As good as the offensive line is,Virginia stacked the line and made it too difficult to pick up first downs . Besides Kizer ,other players have to step up Carlisle,Hunter ,Brown ,Robinson .?

Wonder what Van Gorder will do .ND has always struggled with Navy .Georgia Tech really didn't let up on poor Alcorn or Tulane .All the ACC teams have problems with the option .

I agree with most Domers that the jury is out on our defense against most spread teams , But Georgia Tech is a different animal .

Wonder how bad Texas is .It was reported Rice had 200 more yards of offense than Texas and 49 % of Texas' total offense was on 3 plays .

problem was on every third and short MZ made the wrong read and should have kept the ball. Go back and look at the game. the 1 play he might of actually scored because everyone keyed on CJ

Same thing with Kizer. Va pinched down on CJP on every play.

Let's hope you're right. Anyone that does that is going to get a mouthful of Corey Robinson, Torii Hunter, Chris Brown, etc etc etc.

Go Irish!
