The Defense

[FightingIrish44]

There’s something about this defense that gets in the head of the opponent.

I love it.

ND's back 7 is elite and the best in the country. LB's are deep & have the depth to match up against any offense, Corners are great in man to man and we have 2 ball hawks at safety. Our nickel & dime packages with Clark & Hurd are elite as well. Plus they all tackle.
If the dl could of avoided injury we would of had an elite rotation with Botehlo, Traore, Young. Even Jr and Burnham are servicable.

Those injuries were a killer.

If we had a healthy DL this would be the best Defense in the country

This the fastest ND defense I have ever seen. It will be interesting to see if how they play a big team that runs right at them and has a decent QB that can pick a punch

A good running team. That’s my concern.

Agree. Well said.

I remember the summer when a few people in this forum talked a lot of shit about the LBs.

The LB group will be even better next season.
