Notre Dame Defense...not really that good???

[theuksu]

I HATE ND with tremendous passion! And because of that hatred I follow this team closely hoping they'll lose every game (keep your friends close and your enemies closer).

In my opinion, their offense is much better than any team we've faced. Their QB has a cannon and can run. Their RBs are fast and shifty...especially Cierre Wood (dude's a beast)...if they get to the outside on us we are in trouble. RB Atkinson runs a sub 10.4 electronic! They are fast at WR...Daniels, Brown, and Neal can fly. So we can't sleep on these fools.

On defense their CBs are inexperienced but extremely fast. Russell ran a 4.5 at the Opening in 2011...Atkinson and Jackson are literally some of the fastest football players in the country. That chump Tuitt treeted the other day that he did 3 reps at 425, Bunche will need to match him strength for strength.

We can beat these fools, but understand these punks are fast and big. Our WRs need to run good routes and everything hinges on the play of our OL and DL. Fisch will run circles around their D coordinator, but I can't say the same about Coach D.

I mentioned that earlier. No one is talking about their offense. Not only do they have a mobile QB, they have dangerous dangerous RBs that are faster than any of ours not named Duke. Riddick was a WR, Atkinson has elite FL speed and could easily break one on special teams, and Wood is probably the best RB of them all.

ND beats us in every phase of the game except our passing game versus their secondary. That is the one and only advantage we have. I predicted their offense scores 38 but i would not be shocked if they put up KSU numbers on us.

Check their offensive numbers. They are bad. Very bad. Best offense we faced? Why are they ranked in the 90s? Their QB has been pulled twice already this season. And its not like they have played elite defenses either. Outside of Michigan State they have gone up against average defenses in Michigan, Purdue and Navy.

You can't look at rankings. They blew out Navy. Purdue could stop the run and rush the passer with their front 4. MSU's defense is great. Michigan has Greg Mattison, who used NFL defensive schemes to confuse a young QB. We have Coach D, he's not bringing NFL schemes to fool anybody. We make every offense we play look like All Americans. ND's skill players a FAR better than any team we've played, period.

Their offense has struggled to put up points. If Miami was ranked 97th in offense everyone on this board would be calling for Fisch's head the way they are calling for Coach D. I don't care who you play if their offense was as good as you say they would be ranked much higher than 97. Yes our defense is bad, but that is no reason to overrate their offense as this point. They are average 3.8 yards per carry as a team. How is that a good offense by any means?

Your points are valid, can't argue with the numbers. I'm just saying their skill players are good and our D (to this point) is really bad.

theuksu is a troll. ND has better skill players than Kansas State? Which ND player is a Heisman candidate?

You big dummy.

You're following Tuitt on twitter...but you're a Cane fan? Stop this BS brah.

Homie I can't go back and forth with you on this... a Crappy Dame fan forwarded that to me in addition to other things. I bleed Orange and Green don't get it twisted.
