I will be cheering for the teams in RED as I believe they will help ND the most. * All Times are Central Time Zone Friday Night 6:00 - Western Kentucky @ Jacksonville State - CBSSN - CUSA Championship; nothing super interesting about this one, could be a competitive game 7:00 - #20 UNLV @ #10 Boise State - FOX - MWC Championship; Boise State is likely to be the #4 seed, which could be ND’s second opponent 7:00 - Tulane @ #24 Army - ABC - AAC Championship; Army winning will improve ND’s SoS and i
I feel like ND goes through this over and over with either offensive skill or defensive speed/skill positions. WR/RB/CB in particular
RB has been answered. They a.) changed position coaches from denson to taylor
b.) made weight/size exceptions
c,) let them play regardless of experience. Kyren had next to none, Tyree had none
CB- a. Changed Coaches from Lyght to Mickens
b. Committed to larger corners
c. Letting younger guys play. Looks like it, though they tried for a transfer
d. Results ?????? Looked good in spring but that doesn't matter
WR- A. No coaching change
B. not sure who is playing.. We know Davis, Keys.. Lenzy has flashes.. Austin i'm wondering where my hope vs reality metric will land
C. lots of slot WR and few big outside receivers.. Need Wilkins/Styles/Watts Colzie to step up
D. how much can Meyer cover up?? A big TE lined up outside the numbers allows you to play probably all 3 of, Keys, Davis and Lenzy. but thats still a band-aide formation
I can't help but think if this year ND doesn't see a homegrown receiver make progress a position coaching change and a plan going forward may need to be addressed.
