We scored 33 without running the ball against Nd who has the best D we will play. That is with our Heisman QB out of course. I think we will be fine if our D gets healthy. I want to run the ball better but we dont have to be a really good running team with the best QB in the nation. The way Etienne turns those screens and dump offs into 20 yard gains we will be fine.

You may have a point about the defenses, but if you can make us one-dimensional, that will help the defense tremendously and the gap is narrowed.

I think one thing that gets overlooked in our playoffs or championship teams the last 5 years is how solid the one on one tackling was for the most part. Our corners and safeties made great wrap up tackles on plays that likely go the distance if they missed. What I have seen from the back end is a lot of bump tackling instead of wrapping up. It’s probably because of missing half the spring and being limited in the fall with younger guys. Notre Dame did not seem to have that problem - especially when tackling Travis. They did a nice job and our arms seem to be a little short.
