With the exception of Manti, JOK and maybe a few others ND LBs are the worst at shedding blockers

However holding comes in all forms and lineman are taught to so it just enough not to get it called. Is this holding on Kiser?

Holding?

Yes that was holding IMO though it’s difficult to clearly see. The official looks like he’s looking at it but his vision may be obscured.

ND got away with a bad, more obvious hold on their second TD drive.

I thought Ausberry had a great second half. Shedding blockers, making critical stops, good in coverage. Hope and expect he’ll see even more playing time tomorrow.

He should start, 0 doubt about it

Move him to weak side and put Kiser on the bench

I’d actually like to see the linebackers accept being blocked more and focus on fulfilling their assignment.

A little bit too much attempting to “make a play”. I was concerned about this going into the season, and I wonder who else will hammer ND on the ground with tight ends.
