While Notre Dame’s defense hasactually been alittle muchbetter than its offense, individuals aren’t precisely discharging the system. Although being provided a brief field to work with at times hasn’t assisted, there haveactually been some pricey miscues at unfavorable times. And the system hasactually been left with little space for mistake as a result. Players on both sides of the ball are to blame however in their own methods.

For the 2nd straight week, the Irish will face an offense that put up a huge proving in its veryfirst videogame. Purdue provided Indiana State, a Football Championship Subdivision group, all it might dealwith in its season opener. Now, the Boilermakers are excited for a possibility to open it up versus a group that, at least on paper, is muchbetter than them. Given what we saw from the Irish versus Northern Illinois, it’s not out of the concern by a long shot.
