Thanks to all who submitted questions for our latest podcast. These are the topics I tackled with @Eric Hansen (with timestamps).
29:49 | @MikeDRochester: Was the defensive breakdown (BYU long run from the own 5 on 3rd and 18, two long pass plays including one to a receiver with nobody within 10 yards of him) due to sloppy play, poor tackling, poor coaching, or what? The D can look amazing on one series and then amazingly bad on the next. It also seemed like the O-line regressed a bit from the Cal game, maybe a little rusty from the bye week? Thanks for all the great coverage of ND (including Kyle)!
35:39 | @hockeydude8487: Status of the LB core and its improvement for the rest of the season. Also how to generate more explosive plays on offense
43:45 | Christopher Kruse - @ChrisND92: I think it’s Josh Lugg that moves his arm forward and back before every snap. What’s up with that?
45:46 | Marie Biafore - @biafore_marie: What grade would you give Rees overall game plan, and what grade would you give his playcalling in the red zone? What do you think he should’ve done in the red zone to score more points? It felt like playcalling was very poor in the red zone this game.
51:12 | Bert Leonard – @Bert2834: We hear all the time about the 1st handful of plays being scripted, does a turnover on the 1st play of the game by the offense or defense change that script?
53:55 | sjb75 (TIL): Do you like the RB rotation between the three RB’s, or should Logan Diggs and Estime receive more carries?
55:26 | Babaganoush - @PLACT_ITFDB: I know some fans love to blame @UnderArmour but that’s not my point with this question. Why does Chris Tyree seem to fall down on a lot of his runs so far this season?
57:51 | @CharlesWWolfe: While the O-line is making great strides and the pass protection against BYU was unreal, are you seeing anything amiss on the short yardage runs? The struggles on 3rd-and-2 and 4th-and-1 against Marshall and BYU seem out of character. PS: Looks like the answer to “who will be a breakout performer after bye week” was Jayden Thomas!
1:01:40 | @Jschatzman2: Is Steve Angeli ready if called upon? The QB room seems to be fairly empty. What are the QB’s strengths/weakness at this point.
1:07:25 | @stevegoforth5: Is there a game or two that you expect ND to build a large enough lead that would allow back up QB Angeli to get some garbage time plays? Any word on getting a 2023 QB recruit not named Carr?
1:10:28 | @summmerjohn: Who is our starting qb next year?
1:14:05 | 4 Horsemen Podcast - @HorsemenPod: Why isn’t Jon Sot being recognized by the @RayGuyAward?
1:17:57 | @drewbrennan77: Understand that ND has the chance to prove themselves in the next four weeks, but a bit surprised that ND is not getting more credit for beating and controlling the games against 5-1 UNC (at their place) and then #16 ranked BYU. Thoughts? Is Marshall akin to Michigan 2019?
