Not a fan of Bunche at LT. Seen him get beat way too many times by a pass rusher. Admittedly, did not see Ben Jones play saturday. But, my question is, has anyone seen ND's DE play? Are they fast end rushers? If so, I feel bad for morris.

Well they run a 3-4, so their ends are more interior types, but they have a good one who is huge (6'6 300 pounds) in tuitt he is more of a power guy than anything but he is very athletic, From a rush end standpoint in the 3-4 its more of a linebacker and the guy they use is prince shembo, good rusher, more speed rusher type. heard he doesnt take no for an answer also... (zing)
 
They're fast but I think our group can get the job done. They only have one total threat and that is Tuitt, but freshman Sheldon Day is shifty also.
 
ND's DEs are big and physical. Tuitt might be the biggest freak in the country. 6-6, 300 pound dude who can really run. That dude is scary. They have a 290+ pound guy at the other DE spot. They are a physical front 7.
 
One of our biggest problems may come from their interior in Louis Nix. He may be a 1st rounder one day and he has a huge size advantage over McDermott. Since the 3-4 defense lines the NT over the center this matchup worries me. Hopefully Bunche or Seantrel can handle Tuitt that way Linder or Feliciano can help on Nix.

They are big.....not fast.


But our Oline is the biggest they've seen all season as well. Seantrell is the biggest OT they will face this year.

We will run a ton of toss sweeps to Duke this week. Hope ND's 300 pound DE's got a heavy dose of Utough this offseason. They are going to be forced to run laterally.
 
We struggle against speed rushers (See KState). We dominated the last 3-4 we faced who uses big DEs like GT. NCState had some big ends as well.
 
We won't score a ton of points in this game, we really need our D to make some plays and create some turnovers to win
