We had fun with this last week let's go into rewatch mode again. Screen shots, clips lots of stuff to be included.

Second week in a row ND can't go on offense without fumbling a return, This time kick off last time punt.

[FaithInIrish Forever]

Clear the outside throwing area of the corner and then replace the corner with a wide RB wheel route that the Irish don't react too, 

[FaithInIrish Forever]

Starting lineup I assume Faison is out again after re-aggravating his ankle..

[FaithInIrish Forever]

 

Really solid game by Leonard. As you see he hits quick passes mostly, struggles in the intermediate and can hit a big ball once in a while.

Riley said postgame, "Denbrock is learning the plays I like" Mike Denbrock tailors the plays he calls to the strengths of his players. So that's a telling quotation

[FaithInIrish Forever]

QB Counter draw will always be a strong play for Leonard he is a really hard guy to tackle.

 ND's best running formation

Leonard and Love behind 5 lineman and 2 tight ends WITH Tempo. Love was ripping off 10 yards a play when they used this!

[FaithInIrish Forever]

 

Unbalanced 2 TE this time(both Tight ends are on the same side.

Gives Thomas a 1 on 1 and Riley a clean look at a sprint out pass.

[FaithInIrish Forever]

 

QB off tackle creating a 7 man balanced line with a Great house motion. Love did a great job run BLOCKING. The tempo also kept Louisville uncomfortable

[FaithInIrish Forever]

9 redzone drives, 8 conversions. 7 TDS

Love adds to those TD totals!

[FaithInIrish Forever]

What I noticed.

7 man line

Featuring Leonard  and Love.

Quick passes in rhythm

Tempo.

Hard to stop in the redzone.

Leonard Moore looks like a Sprinter here!! Bottom of the screen in full stride!

Hard to cover the seams when you have 3 routes coming towards 1 deep safety. Collins draws attention. Greathouse gets WIDE OPEN. great call by denbrock. We love those Seam Routes @jessemoore97

[FaithInIrish Forever]

Safety Bracketed Collins no one saw Greathouse in that deep seam.

Wanted to hear from another perspective. So these are Louisville analysts
