ND had their open Scrimmage this morning.
I hesitate to post anything about it because last time there was a lot of shooting the messenger. LOL
This is going to be overall things, nothing to take too much from.
Basically, it was mostly 2nd, 3rd & scout team playing.
Only one OL starter played, minimally.
Love tweaked his hamstring the first series & watched the rest. Probably shutting it down for spring.
Lambert, an OL battling to start, hurt shoulder and is done until fall practice.
The QBs played, which was interesting with all backup OL playin.
It seems Carr, the former top 5 QB, will be the starter. He came out with the 1’s, & had the best throws. No mistakes, even being pressured the entire time.
ND’s defense with Golden was blitz heavy last year with so many DL injuries.
This year they got four guys back that were injured last year, on top of the guys who played DL in their absence, and they lived in the backfield without blitzing.
Two of the DT’s who were hurt last year and are back are noticeably much bigger than the DTs they had to play in the CFP.
The DL with everyone back dominated the scrimmage against the 2nd string OL.
The LBs & Secondary brought everyone back except one, so there’s that.
They said they don’t have enough players available to have two teams for their spring game. So they will be doing offense vs defense. And a lot of 1st string will not play.
They feel they are deeper than they were last year. Only position with a legit question is QB.
With so many offensive guys sitting out the spring, they won’t decide anything at QB until fall camp.
From what I was told, exactly what you would expect to happen when the whole defense from a top 3 defense is back went against a 2nd string offense, happened. One-sided.
I’m leaving it at that. Any specific questions anyone has, I can try to find out.
