Thanks. Still think with how ND travels it will be more of a home game for them. Hopefully UW is more competitive than the line indicates.

They play them at ND though and I think that will end up being a big factor. I know everyone is so high on them. They play nobody essentially just like every year. They do have a very talented roster and to me Carr is a better qb than Sayin is but his receivers are suspect and unsure if their running game will be as good with the loss of Love and Price. I do think coaching matters and since ND lost Al Golden their defense has been pretty meh. Aside from Carr I am unsure who they have on offense that is a game changer like Love and Price were. I think Freeman has grown alot as a coach but he's not Cig or Smart or even Ryan Day who I think is overrated and is bailed out by his talent and coordinators. They may go undefeated but I think their dry spell on nattys continue due to running into better teams in the playoffs. Their easy schedule does them no favors IMO.

He looked like a deer in the headlights. But I thought they made some decent adjustments at halftime to get him away from the pressure. He will be battle tested this season where he had seen nothing up to the B1G championship which is why the media was clamoring about how they would handle a competitive close game. I expect him to be better this season but I don’t know if I’m buying putting him under center solves pre snap read issues.

My money is on Lane Kiffin LOL

I've always maintained this was my primary area of concern even above TE or QB. Ponds was always on an island alone with the best wideout. Haines never worried. It will be interesting how we address that this season. But as you said, they have to get past the front 7 first and that's a task in and of itself.

That I understood. I just did not know the scholarship numbers. I think the explanation above answers my question how we can take them back if we aren’t completely filled on schollys and our roster isn’t at limit.

I’ll ask again do we have the space for Staes and Wyatt if they return? We just had a scholarship open. I’m assuming Daley filled it. How do these two get in? Academic scholarship? It’s been said Brady will be more difficult since he signed a nfl contract.

Yes that’s the way it sounded. Cig said they are looking for Harris to be consistent day in and day out.

HUGE HUGE news Our D was already going to be loaded but bringing Daley back. We will be scary on the front lines. Who is deeper than us? Oregon can match us but they don’t have Haines.

Texas always overrated. OSU lost alot on D but bring back QB and JS so they are 1? We will fight for it and earn it again this season.

How do we have enough scholarships? I thought there was a limit?

Just saw that and came to see if anyone had the scoop on who we added. Scary if true. Take notice because our DE’s will come in waves.

Exactly the way I felt when I read it...not a good look.

We are going to Michigan. We just bought tickets on the visitor side. We will be in a sea of maize and blue. Their visitor section was not where I wanted to sit. I’ve always wanted to see a game at the big house. UM is my second fandom behind IU. Grew up around ND fans and hated them so I went the opposite direction to become UM fan. Then went to IU. Have visited The Shoe several times as had family that was an athlete that got tickets. Very impressive stadium. Looking forward to IU UM. My wife hates Michigan so this is about the only game I could get her to agree to go to there lol

Agreed. Sam really came on, and I was also a fan/sad he wasn’t eligible for another season. Would be a good locker room guy and great fit for the team.
