Stinks, but it happens. Look at Alabama and Waddle, Wisonsin and Mertz (wonder if Fred and Ethel are related?).

Yes, injuries are part of the game. Hate it for all these young men. Selfishly, I especially hate that Skalski will be out. What a hitter! I also sure miss Ross and his ridiculous skills! Next man up. Beat BC!!

Yep, this happens. We may see a few more games like last week where we need to score more points but we are built to do that and no reason we can't against BC. Just get folks back for ND where the going will be much harder for the offense so we need to be at our best to keep that score down on their side.

I don’t really understand all of the Jake Venables praise. He was all over the place against Syracuse and we allowed 150 yards on the ground. Personally, I’d like to see more of Levonta Bentley. He cracks like Skalski and always seems to be where the ball is when the whistle blows.

Well, everyone sees things differently, for the most part.
I see Jake Venables as doing a very good job in Skalski's place. It was not just Jake to blame for the 150yds on the ground. There was a large chunk where Charleston couldn't catch that Syaracuse player on the way to the end zone. I watch Jake and look for Tyler, and they both hustle to get to the ball. Our defense is better for having them.

6:09 - literally has no clue where the ball is.
7:48 - crashes right instead of staying at home, gets blown out of play, huge gain for Syracuse
9:38 - over-pursues, gets eaten alive by TE, huge gain for Syracuse
19:35 - bites on the reverse, too slow to recover, HUGE gain for Syracuse.
I’m sorry but the proof is in the tape. He’s constantly moving but most it is just that - movement. He’s either dropping back in coverage, losing sight of the ball, or can’t shed his blocker. With Mike Jones day-to-day and Skalski out, this concerns me, particularly in the next two games. Through this past weekend, Notre Dame is 15th in rushing offense (we are 41st!).
Swinney isn’t kidding. We need to dig in & tighten up, especially at LB.

Looked to me like he was setting the edge on and playing to an assignment. But I'm not a D coordinator or FB coach. My guess is that he'll be ready. Let's watch this week and see if he improves his play.

Zero improvement so far. Jake isn’t good.

It's hard to "break down film" without knowing the defense. You have no way of knowing what ANY of them are supposed to be doing. Coach Venables rolls the dice some and players arent usually "staying at home". I feel like our coaches are playing the best guy. I also think Coach Venables would be very cautious and attentive to his son's performance because he would never want to be seen as playing favorites for his kid.
He's probably even harder on him. He would want it to be OBVIOUS to everybody on Defense that he's the best guy to have in there so he doesn't lose their respect.

Scalpel and groin in the same sentence makes me cringe...
