3 or more sacks.
Consistent pressure from outside rushers.
Multiple 10-15 yard punt returns.
Running plays inside the the Red Zone.
Consistent push on 3rd and short running plays.
Dexter Williams. Anyway we can get.


Dexter Williams.... like I hoped, "anyway we can get." I feel like my other "hopes" have been better then we've seen for much of the Kelly era.

Outside rush is better then we've seen since Tuitt was on campus. I'd still like to see more run plays inside the Red Zone.

Adams is having a great game... but Irish need to run more and pass off of play action. Wimbush is too young to be counted on being asked to chuck it around 40 times a game.
 
D Hayes is a beast.

Martini is on notice. Coney is playing great and Martini looked weak in space at times.

Morgan needs to be better.
 
not digging the hurry-up - 330 rushing yards, -7 minutes TOP...

hurry-up is an equalizer, not for using on overmatched opponents - add a green QB and a huge lead, not a good plan... game should be about over by now...

I tend to comment on bad plays: So here goes. Why go for it on 4 and 2 at the opponent's 40 with 9:36 left in the game. Nothing left to prove and now you give Temple a chance.They won't win, but we just opened the door for them.

And is anyone surprised we were unable to pick up two yards on that fourth down play?

great play by martini and another great play by the d-man, hayes!
 
I'm also wondering why Wimbush is still in the game.
 
How many more needless hits is Kelly going to make this kid sustain?

We're up three scores and have three capable backs....Why is everything a QB option or a pass?
 
The defense needs to force a turnover to get a solid grade.
Dude i'm wondering how you will spin this as a negative. Temple is a solid opponent, well coached and we pretty much crushed 'em. Defense got better as the game progressed. I felt like we didn't reveal much of the playbook today. Good start. Go Ian.

Despite being overmatched, Temple has some hard hitters on defense. Just not enough talent to go around.

I think our defense has improved a little, but generally we look pretty slow and the tackling has been average at best.

I've said mostly positive things in my comments for this game. Overall really good performance. Excellent run game. No breakdowns on defense. Or special teams. I pointed out some concerns but this was a good performance coming off of last season. Go be butthurt somewhere else Dude.
 
Oh..its going to a LONG year for that haterade crowd. ND gets by UGA they could be unbeaten going into bye week before USC. BK is a great coach.
